Power Outage

Last night I went to go see the 6:40 PM show of Superbad. Absolutely hilarious movie, put me in a great mood despite no Skype and no PayPal Sandbox. Afterwards I went home and was contemplating either a) playing about 3 hours of Madden '08 or b) going out for a few beers. After deciding to stay in and play Madden, the power went out. I ended up grabbing a few beers and had a decent time.

Was there a tornado? Hurricane? Bad snow storm in the middle of August? No to all of the above. There was a 5 minute "wind storm" where it barely even rained. And BAM - 10,000 houses are without power. WTF! What would happen if there was actually a legit natural disaster? Glad to know our power grid is incapable of sustaining some wind.

This whole week has been one of those weeks where stupid things keep getting in the way. Despite all of my WTF's, I'm not really that mad and I'm not really that annoyed. Sometimes it's nice to NOT have every little thing get in your way, but in reality these things are really not that big of a deal...and amazingly I've gotten a crapload of work done despite them.

I'm sitting in a wi-fi cafe right now doing some email and a few other things. I've probably got 3 hours of work to do and then I'm going to relax the rest of the day (although I wish that relaxing could include a few hours of Madden...eh).
