I also realised (again, happens every time something goes wrong with the electricity… I forget again soon enough) how pathetically dependent I am on power.

AMAZiNG! Chair does unnatural things
I swear this chair must break the laws of physics. The big question thoush is “Is it questionable?”. Ha, I AM tired. Let’s try that sentence again… The big question though is “Is it comfortable?” I think thoush needs to become a word.
