I just tried turning on my sexy Windows XP Lava Lamp and a nice little flash came from the bulb as it blew. Not too surprising considering I put a higher wattage bulb in what was recommended and I’ve been leaving it on constantly the past few weeks. In any case I started removing the bulb but noticed that it wasn’t coming out quite right. Just as I thought I had it the bulb came apart from the base, . What to do I thought… Hmm well I didn’t feel like going behind the desk and following the cable from the lamp to the plug to unplug it so I just went for the pair of plyers and started using them to turn the base of the bulb. I had Jon watch my webcam while I was doing it just in case I did actually get electrocuted, I mean if I did I at least should get a couple pics of it right? To my dismay I didn’t get shocked, or maybe I was actually semi intelligent about knowing whether the switch for the lamp was on or off. Anyway it’ll be a couple days before I can go to WAL*FART to grab a new bulb. I think this time I’ll get something with a little less wattage.
