I wanted to vomit.

That way, when I open the refrigerator door (revealing a shockingly empty space) the bottles of water retain the cold, and the motor doesn't have to work so hard to re-cool the area. The trick is to leave enough space for air flow, and to remember not to drink the water. (It's also a way to recycle old juice bottles.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38185782.post-21406267357982944922008-04-24T10:14:00.000-07:002008-04-24T10:14:00.000-07:00I am so glad that you fessed up to your annoyance ...I am so glad that you fessed up to your annoyance at greeness being trendy! I feel that way too! Like, if everyone cares about the planet, how can I consider it part of my own special identity anymore? Then I sheepishly remember, oh yeah-- I'm trying to set an example that other people will follow, so how can I be mad? It's kind of like when I get all worked up about some little band not being appreciated enough, and then when they get popular, I stop liking them. God, I hate myself sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38185782.post-33401783382320465132008-04-24T09:45:00.000-07:002008-04-24T09:45:00.000-07:00I am so with you on the water thing.

I'm all for saving the planet but the cynic in me, wonders where the bottom line hits and who at that bottom line ultimately makes the "proper" water bottle call. <BR/><BR/>I heard on NPR the other day about a group of 4th graders here in MA that were lobbying to have everyone change their margins on printer paper from 1 inch to a 1/2 inch. I forget the actual statistic but I was astounded when I heard how much energy, paper, and ultimately trees it could save. So, I promptly went into work and changed my margins.<BR/><BR/>In other news, my writing class is excellent thanks. I look forward to Wednesday nights like I can't even tell you.<BR/><BR/>Rumor has it you will be out East in August? The three of us should grab drinks or dinner or something...or maybe by then Luke Wilson will have found me and we can make it a four-some.<BR/><BR/>Officially ending longest post ever, right. now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086222216552288152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38185782.post-58208671858518814112008-04-24T00:55:00.000-07:002008-04-24T00:55:00.000-07:00You're supposed to use a stainless steel water bot...You're supposed to use a stainless steel water bottle.
