I'd stuck my finger into a broken outlet under our bed (our bed had shifted away from the wall before bed, somehow..;-D) anywho, turned out to be the best thing in my life as it cured my shoulder ailment, i had a nerve pinching between the arm socket and collarbone, couldn't lift my arm above shoulder level without incredible pain, doctors said I'd need surgery, ha! I showed them! Hasn't bothered me since. :-)

So I almost just got f!~*ing killed today. Ever since I moved into my apartment around 3 years ago, there have been two wires dangling about 2 feet above my head in the hallway where a smoke alarm was once hard-wired in. Since none of the hall lights work, I assumed that the whole circuit was disconnected, and left it alone for years. Today, I was moving a table between rooms, and must have knocked the two wires together. Big arc, big flash, and all of the lights in the apartment went out.
Turns out that the labels in the fuse box are WRONG WRONG WRONG. All of the lights in the apartment are on the same circuit, as well as the wall outlets in the bathroom (and at one point the missing smoke alarm), not just the hall lights. I capped off the hot and neutral lines, pulled the now blackened fuse out of the box, and plan on getting up bright and early tomorrow morning to have a nice little chat with my landlord.
In the mean time, I need a f%!&ing drink.
I am shocked you waited 3 years before thinking to complain to the landlord. I would have been b@#+@ing about it from day 1. Thank the Lord you weren't hurt.

This is why I don't have a cat. If they would do something useful at 2 a.m., like changing batteries, I'd reconsider.
if your dog changes your batteries for you, I would like to see a youtube video of that.

This morning, I went to change the fuse that blew, and found out that a) they don't sell the right fuses anymore, and b) there were some scorch marks on the inside of the box. Thankfully, the landlord was very responsive (they've been having problems with their maintenance department, and I doubt that my landlord had even been getting my messages), and she had an electrician over in about 20 minutes. The guy said that it was one of the oldest fuse boxes he'd seen (likely the original box from when the building was built, meaning that it's around 70 years old), and was amazed that the thing still worked. Some guys should be over at some point in the next few weeks to replace it with a breaker panel, which should probably have been done some time back in the 90s. Fun stuff. At least the landlord's paying for all of it, though.

I went for a bonfire. Before I got to the location, I was caught by rain that got quite intense. Then I turned wrong direction and after coming out of wood next to the tram line I said screw this and returned home.

Judging by the state of the plumbing, I'd guess that my building was built some time between 1945 and 1950. The windows, cabinets, and carpets have definitely been replaced since then, along with some, but not all of the wiring.

Excellent choices. In the play through I just finished I was playing an Adept and had fun taking down the Illusive Man's base with the M-11.
I most like playing Vanguards in ME2 and ME3. Charge into a group, blast away with the shotgun, rinse and repeat. Throw in an occasional Nova to spice things up.

Currently finishing ME3 as an Adept, which is pretty fun, what with detonating combos and stuff. My all-time favorite, though, is the Infiltrator. Tactical Cloak is the best.

Why do low battery alarms always start chirping at 3 a.m.? And why do they chirp once every 10 minutes so you absolutely cannot find what's making that maddening noise?
Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
