i went nuts from not having a chair to sit in, so my Swedish visitor, who has been loafing for the past few months and is staying over the weekend, said, "just let me sleep on the balcony then" when i offered him to borrow my bed while i'm up. said he didn't want to use a bed because he'd just miss it too much. he'd rather sleep outdoors.

he also wanted me to keep the door open, but i'm cold, so i brought out a space heater to keep warm. the apartments here aren't individually metered anyway, so it's not going to make a dent in my power bill...
