It's Freezing

I live in a hovel. Actually, I'm being unfair, the owner keeps it in moderate condition. Ok, so I live in an occasionally vacuumed hovel. I jumped at the opportunity to move in here, however, because all utilities were included in the $365-a-month sticker price. I now know why he included utilities...he doesn't heat the house. It's freezing, and I don't mean I-better-go-throw-on-a-long-sleevelshirt-because-I'm-getting-goosebumps cold. He maintains a if-I-don't-wear-two-shirts-and-a-sweater-hypotherma-will-set-in glacial envirorment.

Oh, Paul, you're overacting!

Am I? I currently have five candles in my room lit, and they're not lit to set a mood, unless you consider thawing romantic. In addition to candles, I leave my computer on thru the night, because, and I'm not kidding, a desktop computer can raise the temperature of a room by a couple degrees. That's right! I used to suffer through the low forties. Now, I sleep in a balmy mid forties.

I'd keep typing, but my I'ms loossiwng conrtiol okf muy frtoizen fuingwers.
