I hate my shower. Hate, hate, hate. First it's too hot, then it gets cold, and then without warning, it stops flowing entirely. Worst shower ever. I want everybody to know just how bad my shower is. To that end, I've commissioned a number of artists and writers of various talents and interests to produce several pieces on the subject. Some of them are as follows:
- interpretive dance: "Getting Out of the Way of the Cold Water Very Quickly"
- an up-with-science book written for ages 8-14: "How the Water in the Shower Can Still Be Hot When the Cold is Turned All the Way Up and Other Seeming Paradoxes in Science"
- painting: "Scalding Flesh"
- weblog: "Jason vs. His Shower, A Very Special Warblog"
- major motion picture: "Dude, Where's My Hot Water?"
- autobiography: "The Shower Always Gets Cold When It Comes Time To Rinse The Shampoo From My Hair"
- a collection of short stories: "Pointy Nipples and Other Tales of a Cold Shower"
- short story from the above collection: "I'm So Cold That My Genitals Have Sucked Up Into My Body Cavity"
- tombstone epitaph: "Friend to All, Except His Shower"
- essay: "Living with Low Flow in a High Flow Society"
- porno movie: "Sex, Interrupted"
- a paper to be submitted to a referred scientific journal: "Foregoing Classical Phase Transitions: Achieving Temperatures in Liquid Water of Above 212°F and Below 32°F"

Am I obsessed with my bad shower? I believe so.
