Gremlins in my room

I think I have a Gremlin hiding in my room somewhere, I hope it is the Brain and not Mohawk because it’ll give me something to talk to. My air conditioner has been broken for the past few days, It only blows out really hot air, and if I turn it on “supercool” it blows out really hot air. This is fine because it has been real good weather here and I can open the window. As a result I haven’t told the management about it yet. So last night I was on my computer when I noticed it was freezing, so I closed the window. It didn’t help, and then I noticed the air conditioner running at full power completely silent. It works fine now.

Well in the morning I’m getting ready. Part of the morning ritual for me is uploading my podcasts onto my iPod. So I hook up the iPod and it erases everything, which is strange because my playlists have not changed. My computer crashes and I try it again, thistime resetting the iPod. It doesn’t work, iTunes crashes violently on my computer, and it restored all my Podcasts to my iPod but lists none of them as being played. I finally say “screw it” and head off to a pleasant sardine packed train ride to work.

The largest problem with the gremlin is if it pilfers food at normal time here it is after midnight in Chicago (or Las Vegas, or Honolulu) and they never say what happens to a gremlin that was fed after midnight…

In other news I sent an e-mail to Howard Dean today telling him that democrats need to stop responding to things the Republicans say (or ignoring them) and get the Republicans to respond to them. Basically that is what it said, without anything about Gremlins and much more polite.
