Deary Diary, Shakespeare, cleaning, meetings, movies, jobs and hot water

[samvara]

• Saw the new Shakespeare WA launch itself with A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Kings Park and they did a fine job. Hermia was a little weak but Helena more than made up for it and what I think of as ‘the dwarf scene’ was hilarious.
• AD&T and Swancon2009 meetings this weekend, I don’t know what I’d do without my awesome committee members.
• Bought a mop and cleaned the laundry floor.
• Marathoned all four Alien movies, still love Aliens the most (because I love muscle-y running and explosions) but was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Alien 3 which I usually think of as the weaker of the quartet.
• Wrote an application for a job that looks rather cool and anguished to people about the submission rules *flings self into the hands of fate*.
• Decided to switch the house hot water system to solar rather than gas and did some exciting calling and spending of money *is limp*

Depends how far back the energy supply chain you go. The heater at your house is more efficient at heating the water than a gas one would be. But less so energetically overall if you factor in the coal/gas to electricity from power station. However if you're on natural power then it would be different again.

If by natural power you mean the Synergy thingy (http://www.synergy.net.au/Residential_Segment/Green_Energy/NaturalPower.html) then yes, we are.

In that case. Yes. Electric boosted is good since your electricity is being sourced by renewable, non-polluting (mostly) sources.
