Holy Boobies Batman

Earlier this week I bought an air conditioner for only $88 from Walmart. It was a pain in the ass to get home, but luckily my quasi-roommate came with me to help carry it. I haven't put it in the window yet, because there's some major problems.

I have a small-ish window with sideways sliding panes of glass. There's two interior panes, one that's kinda in the middle layer for some reason, and an outer pane and a screen. The first two panes popped out so easily I didn't bother to see if the others would come out before buying the AC. Now I can't get them out. I'm going to see if I can get Kirsten to take a look at it because she's much handier and probably stronger than me, but she's been really busy.

Also, the window is about four inches to high for the AC. If we did get the glass out and put it in, it would just topple out. So I got two boards from home hardware to prop it up from underneath, but I need to get another one because I underestimated how much I needed to lift it. But I have no idea how these boards are going to stay in the window. I have a metal window frame, so I can't just nail them in. I don't know about trying to screw it together. I'm thinking duct tape, in total desperation.

But christ this has been stressing me out.

Let's Play videos of Minecraft have mostly been keeping me preoccupied. I have decided that somehow I am going to buy that game. It's only available as a download, so I need a credit card or paypal, and I have neither, but somehow I will get it. SOMEHOW. And soon dammit.

BUT YAY CAL IS GOING OUT SOMEWHERE TONIGHT!

Kirsten is performing in a DC comic book themed burlesque show. She's the Joker, which is just all kinds of awesome. I watched her make almost her entire costume from scratch, so I'm mostly going to see how it turned out, even if she won't be wearing much of it for very long. And the whole thing is actually a fundraiser for the Batman shadowcast ballet her and some others are performing in ... August, I think. They're shadowing the old batman movie with Catwoman and Penguin, I can't remember what it's called.

So I better go get ready for that.

  1. Duct tape never means desperation. Duct tape means you made home repair your BITCH.
