the big news of late: our little 'Pinguino' just got delivered.
you see, old italian palazzos like ours lack internal HVAC infrastructure (obviously), but some still avoid the brutish business of jamming air-conditioners above every window and doorway. in these buildings, you'll notice at least one window in every unit features a small, porthole-like opening.
turns out that when temperatures start cranking towards summer, a white truck shows up and delivers a rather cute A/C unit (a.k.a. 'the Penguin') to your doorstep, complete with a handy vent-hose which attaches to the window-porthole-thingamabob.
anyhow, having a squat, strictly-seasonal air conditioner suddenly appear in your living room, Tardis-style, is a kinda funny thing. at the moment, i'm terribly tempted to decorate it, like it's a Christmas Tree, but for SummerTime...
