(no subject)

Okay, so, everyone else seems to be commenting on the SixApart stuff over fandom and pro-ana and all of those other things, so I'm not even going to bother doing it myself. It's annoying, and it's some horrible customer service, but I'm dealing with too many other things to work myself into a lather over it. I know there's slippery slopery involved according to some views and 'nearly everything that fandom does is technically illegal under US copyright law' according to others, but... I've got a job to deal with, I've got a bad sunburn from last week that's got me peeling like an onion, and I've got a cat who expresses his disdain for improperly cleaned litterboxes by peeing directly in front of them instead of actually trying to use them. I've got a sinus infection that won't let go, a family picnic with roughly a hundred of my father's relatives (I'm not exaggerating- he's got seven living brothers and sisters, and his dad had multiple siblings who've all spawned multiple times themselves) on Saturday, and a new pastor at the local Lutheran church that I have yet to meet. Pretty much any one of these items is a higher priority for me than LJ's people having the customer service skills of Gonk the Droid from the Jawa crawler in ANH.

That being said, I HAS AN A/C. daniidebrabant helped me get one that actually fit my window and was suited to a 500 square foot apartment. It's actually rated for 642 square feet, but my ceilings are around thirteen feet high and I'm directly under the building roof, plus my windows face south, so the only way it could get much warmer in my apartment is if the person in 3B was a Zoroastrian fire worshipper who celebrated religious services indoors on a regular basis. The new a/c works marvellously and I shall love it and cuddle it and replace its filter a lot. It also has air cleaning built into it, so even when I have the temperature control switched off I leave that on. It can't hurt, I figure.
