It was these new lights I wanted to talk about. I bought this floor lamp at Bed Bath & Beyond…Wow. That sounds weird that I just said that. Anyway, yeah, I bought this lamp because the lights in my apartment are incredibly dim. But, like, this lamp could only take 60W bulbs, which aren’t that bright (well, I guess times three, that would be ok), but I saw these Daylight 60 bulbs; fluorescent bulbs that apparently have the full spectrum of natural light (if you’ve ever broken fluorescent through a prism, it doesn’t break into a continuous spectrum).
Anyway…um, yes. Natural light. Now I know what natural light would look like if our sun were a blue star instead of a yellow star. But seriously, they aren’t that bad. They’re a 60 watt replacement that only use 13 watts, and are way brighter. The light is a little harsh (and blue), but if you combine it with a yellowish light, it creates a nice ambient light that doesn’t strain your eyes. I recommend, aiming the Daylight 60 bulb at the ceiling (or at least away from you so that it’s not direct) if you’re using it to light a room.
I still have mixed feelings about these bulbs, but generally, I like them.

Wow, you sure are forgetful. You should try out rememberthemilk.com so you can remember things you want to write about and/or do. ;)
Anyway, was going to say that I natural light is great. I got lights that have full spectrum, and can give you some Vitamin D. Now if I were going to be home all the time, I might need suntan lotion, but they don't seem to do much for my pasty white complextion...
Ok, I am just being dumb. The lights are cool. I know how exciting a purchase like that can be. You are claiming stake to your new life. Cool.
No, no. I admit it was a boring post that probably didn't need to be put up. I mean, two testimonials for products (clearwire and flourescent bulbs). What have I come to?
