The light in context of our semi-dumpy but improving kitchen.
Let it be known that my Gay Style Super Power is probably lighting. I am basically fascinated by good lighting. I figure it's my SAD tendencies in tandem with perhaps some sort of humble admission of an artistic eye. Also my single professional home-owning Mom basically trained me to be a total lesbian regardless of any cock sucking tendencies.

So I shuffled by Liquidation World in the prestigious Hamilton City Centre on my lunch break at the library. And they had received a shipment of what looked like fairly high-end or at least high concept café task lights on sale for a scant $3. Remembering there was an empty lighting pot above our sink in the kitchen I scored one to test it out. And low and behold the result is pretty cool. To top it off it also uses those tiny candle arbre Eddisson socket types. So I stole one of those 3W compact fluorescent ones out of an unused Ikea desk lamp and voilà! Great for washing dishes or having a midnight snack.

Google "Oggs." (I can't find a website addy for 'em, but we got ours at Wallymart for $30).

If you're a lighting whore, you absolutely _must_ get a set.... come in a set of three with a recharging base. The charge holds for about 12 hours and when they're turned on, they every so slowly disolve from one color to another. I suspect there's some kind of electronicaly charged gas inside 'em.
My dad was so impressed by his he threatened to crack one of 'em open to see what make 'em work LOL

I'm jealous - Lindsey and I always wanted to do nice, modern style stuff like that... but in our pre-war house anything like that is a serious anachronism.

Oooohhh prettty!

You're so lucky, my lame gay super power is picking the perfect sized containers for leftovers. No I mean it. I'm never wrong. It always fits perfectly.

Score.

You have excellent lighting taste. Please visit Ohio and help those less inclined.
