Light bulbs

Lamps. You can't live with them, and you can't live without them. Or was it women? whatever...

I mean, what's the story with the halogen lights? Huh? I would really like to give a good smacking to the idiot who invented them. What does the "halogen" even mean? It has nothing to do with a halo ( check your dictionary, or wikipedia, if you don't believe me ), and even less with genes?

And yet the halogen lights are everywhere. I have five halogen lights in my bathroom, over twenty in the ceilings all over the apartment, and then some scattered around in different lamps. Why I do have so many of them is totally outside of my understanding, but I'm sure its some kind of a conspiracy by the lamp makers. And maybe the government too. I mean, they give a really cold and ugly light, heat up so bad they will eventually burn you or your apartment, and last only something like 20 hours a piece.

I actually have shopping lists with milk, bread and halogen lights pre-printed on them. If I need anything else I will write it down too, but I know I always have to buy these necessities first. And no, they are not cheap, not even in wholesale packages.

Thank God we have a lot of natural light during the summers, because there are always one ore more burned out bulbs lurking somewhere in the house. It's just impossible to keep up with them. Maybe I should buy some candles for the winter, and just give up the chase.

Yesterday when I parked my car I noticed that the left-hand side headlight was dead. So all I have to do now is unscrew the motor, lift it up, and then change the light. Nothing to it.

And yes, it's a halogen light...
