...evidently more than one.
The bulb has fallen out of its socket and is just rolling around in my ceiling lamp. My landlord is out of town and I don't know how to change it. I can't possibly be the only person in SF with this kind of futuristic ball thingy hanging from my ceiling (think disco ball with less disco

Look on the bright side...gives you something to blog about.

Get a ladder, remove the glass (it's probably attached by thumbscrews or by friction) and fix your bulb. -
Two. One to change the lightbulb. One to take photos of the lighbulb being changed for the blog (because you have to document with photos). And then both to joint blog about the lighbulb being changed. -
More than that. One to take pics, one to write, one to make a how to video, one to change it, and one to do all the promotional stuff twitter, BC, reddit, stumble... -

I have one of those types of light fittings. You are supposed to open them with a hammer. Here's how you do it:
1/ Get pair of step ladders and a heavy hammer.
2/ Climb step ladders (don't forget the hammer! You don't wanna have to go back for it)
3/ Turn face from light fitting (that's quite important)
4/ Tap light fitting quite hard with hammer (hard enough to stun a naughty turtle)
5/ Climb down from ladder, shake glass from your clothes and then pick your way through the glass to the phone and ring your wife/Girlfriend and tell her the light fitting just exploded!-
And why, precisely, do you know how hard you have to swing a hammer to stun a naughty turtle? Wait--don't answer that. -
Pff I don't mean an actual naughty turtle! It was a euphemism for hitting my naughty trouser Gandhi with a hammer.
Everyone knows you shouldn't use a hammer to stun naughty turtles a baseball bat is the tool of choice in all turtle related stunnings, naughty or indeed un-naughty. -
Poor, poor little turtle. Turtles are never naughty. Me thinks you are finding excuses to use the hammer.

Exactly!

..............MUTE............ -
More than the average person, competent enough to change a light bulb.

Thank you for great proposals!!!

6. 1 to bring it up in a forum, 2 to argue on the forum about the correct method of changing said light bulb, 2 to post an entry giving their differing opinions of proper light bulb changing procedures and types of bulbs to use, and 1 to cut through it all and screw it in -
I have one of the ball hanging light fixtures. Gently unscrew the globe from the hangy part and after you set down the globe, change the light bulb. Return the globe to the hanging thingy and reverse screwing it back on. Good luck.
Oh right. It takes about nine bloggers to change the bulb. But I am only guessing because all the lights are on and no opportunity to find out ... for sure. -
If I had a hammer, it'd still take one person to change that friggin' bulb!
