I posted recently about wanting to purchase a humidifier for my room, and after much consideration I did so this past weekend. My comments on that original post conflicted about whether to go with warm or cool mist, and I elected to go with cool. This was only after much deliberation, surfing the web for comparisons between the two, and realization that Brentwood Target only carried two models, both of which were of the cool air variety.

I've discovered a couple of things about my humidifier and Apartment 12 in general over the past couple of days of usage:

1) Apartment 12 itself is too big to humidify. I say this because running the humidifier with my doors open had absolutely no effect on the humidity in the air and caused me to believe that the humidifer was broken.

2) I am able to sleep with incredibly loud noises as long as they are constant "motor-running" types of noises.

and finally

3) Moisture in the air repels mice. I have arrived at this conclusion because ever since running the humidifier, I have not seen our singular rodent friend. In fact, the only time I saw our former mouse...which is now gone...forever...was when Jim was over at our apartment.

I therefore conclude that Jim attracts mice. Q.E.D.
