Deplorable Reading Habbits

Miss Caitlin is displaying that most deplorable reading habits possible; she is reading a romance novel! To be sure, is was written by Georgette Heyer, known for her tact and refinement, and hailed as being "almost as good as reading Jane Austen," but all the same, a romance novel! And I thought her tastes would be advanced by reading Anna Karenina. Alas, it appears not to be the case . . .

She did watch An Inconvenient Truth, and while she had always been aware of environmental problems (as she says, her generation was inflicted with Captain Planet at an early age), the documentary drove home the immediacy of the problems. Miss Caitlin is strongly considering changing the light bulbs in her apartment. Unfortunately, it seems the ecological efficient light bulbs should not be used in light fixtures with enclosed housings, so the lights in her bathroom and kitchen will have to remain the older sort, but the lights in her main room can be switched. It seems a small but easy step for her to make.
