Blinded by the light

[Bugman]

So I get home from work and walk into the throne room. This notice is taped to the mirror over the sink: We have been in your apartment to install new Bathroom Light Fixture. I could not read the rest, so I flipped the light switch. I was greeted by a blast of light that nearly slammed me into the wall. Shielding my eyes with one hand, I fumbled for the light switch with the other. One could get a sun burn in there, or cook a roast from the heat produced.

After my eyes came back into focus and the little spots stopped dancing around in front of me, I was able to read the rest of the note: In a few days we will be replacing existing Light Bulbs with Energy Efficent Lamps. This is in accordance to Austin Energy. Great says I. In the meantime, a couple of bulbs will be taking up residence in a kitchen cabinet.

Damn, that bites. I hate it when lights are too bright.

 

[texastickler]

LOL! A surprise to be sure buddy!

 

[LD_Tickler]

Ridiculous. Yeah, I hate bright light, too. I usually don't turn on the overhead fixture in my room. Just leave the blinds open for natural light, or flip on a reading lamp in a pinch.

I bet that was especially distressing with a cheap whiskey hangover.

I saw the subject line and was instantly taken back to my days working at the pet store, having to listen to 102.9 MGK every damn day (I swear the guy had one mix CD on repeat). Anyone from near the Philly area may know what I mean by that.

I had that album, and saw Manfred Mann live once. It was a good show. But there was a station in Kansas City that ran that song into the ground. I finally gave the album away or tossed it, don't remember which.

Classic Rock is a dead-end as a format, really. It's aimed at a demographic that can hear the same songs day after day after day after day. Kind of like the Mensa members sitting in the roadside bar, calling repeatedly for 'Free Bird' after a certain time.

I don't know how anyone can sit there, day after day after day after day getting into another cueing of Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb'. Numb, yes. Certainly not comfortably anymore.
