new air conditioner is smaller and lots easier to put into the window, and is currently kicking ass on our crazy 5th floor humidity.
bad!

new air conditioners cost moneys (though this is offset a bit by the fact that it is a nifty energy-efficient model.)
The tips of my pinkies got stuck between the unit and the sheet-metal casing when I tried to move it. S4 tried to help but moved it in such a way that they got stuck tighter (not his fault, I got stuck in a weird way), and that just made me panic more. I ended up yanking them out before they got stuck even tighter. So, the tips of my pinkies are swollen and purple and I thought the nail on the one that got stuck the worst might be dead, but now I think it will be okay. The prospect of the tip of a finger getting smushed past usability or totally severed seemed completely viable and even probable for a moment there, and while it was only stuck probably less than 30 seconds, that seems like a really really really fucking long time when there's at least 100 pounds of air conditioner on a very small part of finger. I had a nice sobbing fit once I finally extricated myself; it didn't really hurt yet but it was just a crazy stress response.
Anyway, I'm doing much better now. I like the new air conditioner not only because it is kicking ass on our crazy 5th floor humidity but also because it hasn't tried to maim me yet. Non-maiming is a good quality in a home appliance.
Uh. If anyone is needing one, we have an unwieldy but functional 13,000 BTU air conditioner. $50 or best offer.
Works best if you don't happen to have a structural turnbuckle/tie rod placed really inconveniently right in front of your only windows.
You know, hypothetically.
