Evil Halogen lamps
My halogen lamp has smoked, fizzled, and died. So why in the hell can I not stop shaking???? I swear I'd look hilarious with a cigarette now to calm the nerves except I never did like them. My god the stupid lamp was smoking, and my first thought was to run away as fast as I could because I could hear something cracking. I was already at the doorway when I saw the smoke and realized my cell was in the scooter next to the lamp, so if I had to call 911 it would already be too late. So there I am weighing my options, rather quickly I might add, when I decide to stop being a coward and run over to the lamp, bend over and switch off the surge protector, solving the stupid mess.
Granted, had the bulb exploded I made sure that the lamp was at least a foot away from posters and such, plus there's the usual guard. I just didn't want anything falling on me, since I do feel somewhat vulnerable on me knees. At the same time, I should be thanking someone that I wasn't in my scooter this afternoon. I mean it's possible that the smoke might have dissapated, and that's that with that, but who knows.
I think I'll be trashing it tonight, after I send a nasty email to Bed, Bath, and Beyond for selling such a worthless thing. After three months it started turning on and off by itself, and now after a year, it's died.
