Lunar Window

My room faces the sun in the afternoon, which is great if you like the sun in your eyes and the greenhouse effect all year round - but bad for anyone else. I would paste large black A3 papers all over my window to block out the sun but felt slightly self conscious as this made my room look suspiciously like a psychopath axe murderer's cubby hole. At least that's what I think my next door neighbour would surmise looking out of her window just 3 metres away from mine. I tried to use fancy washi tape to do the pasting - now it's psychopath axe murderer with polka dot fetish.

I decided to invest in some solar film. Having absolutely no experience in mounting large window tints with only a youtube video for guidance, I think I did fairly well in getting the tinted film plastered onto the glass.
That is until I idiotically used the window I just worked on as a place holder to rest my other film sheet. The 2 sheets stuck together like the stickiest things that ever existed. I have wrestled with ancient price tags stuck on old book covers and had more results than trying to pry the 2 solar films apart. The thing is, by themselves the film is not sticky at all. The only adhesive is the water I sprayed on so that my paddle glides more smoothly over them. How water managed to make magic cement between them is beyond me. I ripped and ripped. Jumping up and down trying to tear the wretched film off the glass - I cringe at the thought that my neighbour would look out of her window that moment. Hello Freddy Krueger meets jumping jack! No!

I managed to get the film off but now it's all crumpled and creased and I don't have enough film left because AHAHA, there are 2 windows worth of film in my hands now! I was so angry that I decided to mount the ruined film all the same on one window - as punishment for my stupidity. Because foolishness like this must be glorified. And it wasn't cheap.

So now I have a pockmarked window in my room. It looks like Frankenstein had a baby with patchwork quilt - there is no other way to describe it. On the bright side, it actually looks like the surface of the moon with an interesting topography of rivers and valleys. Urgh no, it just looks ugly.
