Rainbows are a conspiracy... California is the land of fruits and nuts, afterall

We don't know what's in our water and the government is responsible for all the low altitude rainbows...

But she's from California and based on the recent decision to disallow Christian school courses credit when applying to a UC school, I don't have much faith in the intelligence of Californians.

My Pillow

That picture is of my pillow. The brown spot isn't makeup from my mistress, nor ground-zero of a fart gone awry. It's a burn mark. There are 2 of them. The pillow with the sham that was UNDER this pillow has a hole burnt all the way through it. See the picture below.




Too tired to stay at the desk last night, I plopped in the bed with the laptop and webcam (and therefore Mandy, albeit virtually ;). While stretching cords across the apartment, I tossed a double-halogen, under cabinet light fixture in the bed with me. Discovering it was too bright, I only had it on for a few seconds before turning it off and tossing it aside. As our conversation ended (as Mandy decided she didn't want to watch me sleep) we signed off and I tossed everything in the bed beside me and went to sleep.

I woke up sometime around 9:30 or 10 and groggily found my phone and fumbled to send a text message then rolled over on top of all that stuff that was still there. Without thinking I pushed it all further away and sprawled out to continue my slumber. I remembered the weather forecast and debated getting up to go for a bike ride and glanced at the window to try and see the sky out of the cracks the blinds when I thought I saw smoke. Convinced that I must have had allergy eye mucus or something slimy on my eye I wiped them and looked again and there was a lot more smoke. I sat up and then smelled something burning. Followed by verbalizing my excitement with some choice words I started digging through covers and cords to find the pillow with the sham on fire and the burn mark on the pillow next to me. Moving those (read: throwing them across the room) I found the culprit... That halogen fixture was on, and on the highest setting, too. I don't know when I bumped it to flip the rocker switch, but my guess is it wasn't much sooner than this episode happening.

Totally random and I figure it's blog worthy... This could have been a very bad morning haha!
