So last night, cooking dinner (bacon in the microwave) I think we blew a fuse. now, the only thing that lost power was that outlet, and, being the smart person I was, we were running the a/c and microwave from it. Great, we thought, no more a/c until it gets fixed. so Roomie and I go to wal mart for some things and we come back and borrow a staple gun from the downstairs neighbor (I remembered his name, this time) and I make a ghetto table (plywood with cloth stapled to it, then put on a few boxes) for the tv and vcr (and Nintendo!) and hooked up the tv. There's no cable line in the main room, so I used my fabulous cable splitter in Roomie's room to use the cable and an extention cable cord when I realised "Hey, we have extension cords!" And so, after living in the heat box for 4 hours, we hooked up extension cords and turned the ac back on. we are so smrt.
