FYI: the light in my bathroom just went out

And now I’ll probably have to stand in this hazy, pertpetual, semi florescent not-light that is not bright but not bright enough either.

Went in, turned on the switch, and ‘sldkjfhder!’—the noise light bulb makes when it goes kaput. I’m guessing.

Eventually, all the lights will go out, and I'll have to stand in front of the mirror putting mascara on my eyebrows.

Unless, of course, I replace the light bulbs with new shiny working ones, but consider the effort and time needed to do that. I have to unscrew the protective cover (or whatever you call it). But even before that, I have to figure out HOW to unscrew the protective cover.

Golly gosh, that seems like too much work to just replace one stinkin’ light bulb that happened to end its life with the flick of the switch, and it happened with MY flick of the switch, which means that...I MURDURED THE LIGHTBULB. I let the overwhelming current pass through its filament, but alas, it was not strong enough to overcome that much electricity, and its precious life succumb to my greed for ‘let there be light!’ Thus, my job is done.

*I don’t know how accurate my description of current passing through the light bulb’s filament. Let’s just say that I took physics, like, in high school, and I HATED it with great zeal and passion.
