Ah, the plastic smell of conditioned air. I'll never really know what causes it, but what matters tonight is that it's in my room right now.

My house is very hot in summer (and very cold in winter, so I guess it was designed to work with the weather), my father kept complaining about not being able to sleep last summer so he decided to get a few of these curious devices for our bedrooms.So anyway, what's awesome about it - besides timer functions and shit - is that it has this super cool LCD display which I am unable to read clearly from any viewing angle. Which has this insanely bright blue backlight that is always full bright if the unit is operating in any way. It fills my room with this beautiful blue light all night, affecting sleep as well. I haven't yet decided what to stick on it.But the awesomest feature of them all, is a mirrored front. Mirrored. As in, with a mirror glued to it. It's beautiful, because from any normal viewing angle, all you'll see reflected is... the ceiling. It's undoubtedly the best design decision they have made.Attempting to create a very artistic photo of my very ornamental bare bulb reflected in it, I realised the LCD reads perfectly from this angle of view. Now I regret not being 2.40m tall.

Also, it beeps. Every time a button is pressed on the remote. And when it starts up. And when it shuts down.
