Worked on the Peacemaker page a lot today. *head shaking* That thing just won’t get finished! I keep coming up with new things to add and it all takes so long to change. I get really tired of looking at the screen after awhile and have to leave and do something else.

Which means I did a lot of reading, too. That was good. Looks like this is the only day this week that I’ll be able to work on all these things, so I was extra productive. The rest of the week I have to do at least one thing out and about the city and with average travel time around 1 hour each way, I expect to be gone most of the day each day.

Currently, the overhead light bulb has burnt out in the office. At night now there is only the light from the monitor and the halogen desk lamp. I really want to get a new bulb but that requires taking the bulb out and carrying it around until I find a light store that can help me out. I’m sure there is one in my neighborhood but I haven’t seen it. And since I’m not planning on trudging over to Yongsan Chonja land any time soon, where there are tons of light stores, I guess the light is going to stay inoperable. It wouldn’t be a big deal except I can’t see anything else in the room but the monitor (which is too bright and hurts my eyes in contrast with the darkness even with the brightness turned all the way down) and the little bright circle projected by the halogen lamp onto the desk illuminating useless pieces of paper and a pile of receipts.

There is a light out in the kitchen too - a florescent one. It’s been dead for nearly a year, I think. Every once in awhile one of the bathroom lights goes out. The light bulbs there are exactly like the bulbs in the big ceiling light in the living room that we never use. So, I always just transplant a bulb from the living room into the bathroom instead of having to actually buy any. The ceiling light in the living room is totally HUGE, with something like 12 bulbs in the apparatus. I think there are around 6 left. We’ll move before we use the last one. Let’s just hope that the second and final bulb in the kitchen doesn’t go. Then I might actually have to do something about it.
