flourescent lights suck

How do you drain all the creative energy out of a space? Light it with flourescent lights. Y'know, like the ones they have in office buildings. They'll zap the creative whammy out of you every time. And as soon as you shut those suckers off and light the room with something else -- desk lamp, lava lamp, gas lamp, small fire in the middle of the carpet -- the positive chi flows right back in. Sounds really stupid, I know, but I'm not the only person whose noticed this, and I don't know why it is, but it seems to be true. Don't believe me?
