pet geckos and broken machines

I have 3 air conditioners in my apartment. 1 in my bedroom, 1 in my living room and 1 that is in what is I guess my dining room but it is more like the area between the kitchen and my bedroom. I never use the dining room one because I'm never in there. Last night at approx 7:30 p.m. the one in my living room died. It was very sad. Very very sad actually. I lasted until 8 before I had to go into my bedroom and hide away for the rest of the night. Now I have to try and get it fixed. That could take a while. I hope I don't have to become mean Alison (quite often the only way to get things done here is to yell at people; I don't like it, but it works) to get it fixed. I can live without TV but I have a puzzle in my living room and it would be soooo hard for me to not be able to work on it.
Stay tuned for more details on when I will be back in air conditioned splendor (I mean I still wear shorts and a tank top inside when the AC is on but I don't sweat while sitting).
And speaking of my living room...I have a baby gecko! He appeared about 2 weeks ago and he is so tiny! The first week he could only walk on the floor but whatever it is that makes their hands sticky now works so he can now walk on the walls and the other day he made it up to the ceiling. I think he is trying to figure out how to get outside; I would help him but he is afraid of me. Eventually he'll figure it out though. I've named him Joe. Why Joe? 'Cause I think that 'Joe Gecko' sounds funny (did I mention how hot it is? yes, my brain is melting). He is only about an inch long now, the grown up ones I've seen are about 4 or 5 inches so he has a ways to go. I like having him around, kind of like having a pet, but I hope he manages to figure a way outside because I think he would enjoy exploring that more.
