#power outs

I walk downstairs after a nap and our power was out.  It came on a few minutes later and just recently the computer turned back on. It makes this loud noise (imagine the IMAX noise) when turning on.  My Mom looks over and said, “I’m glad the computer got the memo that the power was back.”

I laughed, my Dad gave this surprised look, looked around, then copied the noise.  I don’t know why, but I found that hilarious.

Blackouts

They happen too often in this neighborhood during the summer. The whole family is huddles downstairs in the living room. The ambiance of the candles is really nice. I can feel the stillness of the hot summer air inside the house swell. We're actually at a peak in temperature in fact. Probably why the power went off. It's 108 F right now, but the sun is down. It was around 117 F during midday. I just hope the power comes back on before we go to bed. I think I'll have some cereal in case the milk spoils. At least I've been craving that for a while now.

So, I just had a quick power outage. Really quick, but still really creepy. Good thing I was only reading, not writing or working on something else, huh? It was only off for a few seconds, then it flicked back on, but I was in my parent's bedroom upstairs, door closed, all alone with just the cat, and when it went off my first thought was-oh fuck, there's no flashlight in here. Second was-double fuck, this room is chock full and messy as hell, I can hardly navigate it with light-I'm going to kill myself trying to escape. I'll be eaten by the cat. Damn. 

I know, I'm strange, right? Don't worry, you aren't the first(by far) to think so. 

As soon as it came back on I ran down the hall to my room-I keep a dim booklight and a very bright maglight in my bedroom so I can read at night without waking up my annoying sister/roommate. I didn't loose anything but the song I was listening too(pandora, you know?). 

Not a big deal, but still, this is a blog about me and whatever I want, right? Well, this is something that happened to me, and now it's on the internet, documented for all time. Or at least until I delete it.
