Bills, Bills and wrapping your pipes

Well, Merry Freaking' Christmas. I'm offically old. As of 1 dec 05, I will have a hydro bill, a gas bill, a phone bill, a bill for the bill, and a bill for the fact i can't pay the other bills.

My web searches 6 months ago included:
"AJAX", and "Indie Music blogs"..

My present day searches include:
"how to weatherstrip a house" and "reducing your heating costs".

New gizmos of choice? Programmable thermostats and energy reducing bulbs. Projects of future? Doing a engery audit of my residence, and elemanting heat loss. Weapon of choice? Weather striping. Perhaps I'm in just in shock. I learned today that my monthly gas+hydro will be close to $200 a month.
