I feel like I've hopped in a goddamned DeLorean.
I live in a studio in college housing. As this is a one room apartment intended for one person, I was not given a full size refrigerator. Below my counter I have a cube minifridge. Which is fine, as I don't use a great deal of perishables.
What is not fine, however, is that said minifridge has a teeny tiny freezer space. Two feet by six inches by one foot. I can fit a pint of ice cream in there. On its side.
Okay, not a big deal. I just can't shop Costco. But what is unforgivable is that this minifridge is older than I am. Which means that it must be defrosted. Remember Frank Drebin's freezer in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad? Mine looked like that, but instead of an orange frozen in space I had an orange creamsicle.
Hence the poll. Has anyone ever defrosted a freezer? Because I don't reccomend it. Fortunately I know a fast(er) way of doing so. The method that I have been instructed to use involves turning off the fridge overnight. Which wouldn't be a big deal if one were to look past the fact that I need my fridge overnight. Apperantly botulism had yet to be discovered when my fridge was birthed from the holy conveyors of Kenmore.
A hairdryer, a hammer and a bloodletter bayonet do help get the job done, but I am now much more wary of using the most effective of these tools for one reason. Do you know how my freezer stays cold? Freon. Freon is supposed to get you high, but all it did to me was make me throw up a little in my mouth.
Today, at three o'clock, I went to work on the second freezer that has taken up residence in this household, as the first freezer ceased to work once the freon forced itself out of a small, bayonet sized hole.
It is now just after four o'clock. My freezer is free of ice, my milk is warm and my sink is full of orangecreamsicley water.
I hate college housing.
