The water is still off in my kitchen, but not in my bathroom. It's very strange, and since it's been like that all day, it looks like I'll have to call the incomprehensible (but otherwise decent) super tomorrow. Maybe while I have him on the phone, I'll mention that the apartment is bloody cold and find out if there isn't some way the temperature could be raised just a bit. I'm all for sitting wrapped in blankets all day if it helps the environment, but I need to be able to feel my fingers to type. At least my laptop is pretty good at keeping me warm.

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone want to recommend a good tech/gadget or art magazine? I'm still gift shopping for some friends...

Hmmm... Adbusters is pretty good, though a little dark. I think Sony puts out a magazine. If they like games, Game Developer is a nice choice. Linux Journal has its moments. Wallpaper is a good standard 'aesthetics' magazine.

I used to have trouble 'temperature sharing' our apartment. I'd be home all day working on school things, losing feeling in my fingers, and Captain "our office is so hot" would come home in the evening and not understand why I was so freakin' cold. Hope your super can help!

Thanks for the recs. I'm sure they've read Adbusters, but I'll check out Wallpaper. It sounds like something one or the other of them might be interested in.

The temperature in the apartment was a little better today, but I think that's because it warmed up some outside. The water's running again, so I've put off calling the super, but I suspect I'll have to have a chat with him next month.
