What the hell?

no party tonight

as you may have guessed, today was not a work day in my world.

i woke up at 6.30 am hoping against logic that the power would be on, the subways would be running, and that i would have a chance to catch up on the project i left mid-sentence on Thursday.

no.

but due to the Blackout of 2003, I had oodles of fun hanging out with E. After tearing through her stock of snack food, beer, wine and other assorted goodies we checked the nighttime scene out. It kind of reminded me of college keg parties held on lawns. Open container laws were thrown out the window yesterday (and today I think as well), along with functioning ATMs.

This morning we parked our butts in Corner Bistro trying to not squander the $32 'we' collectively had. (Really, it was E. who had a stash of cash. I had roughly a dollar in coins.)

When the light flickered on around 2, a cheer spread through the room. Thankfully E. thought to run to the closest ATM, before the long line formed.

what else?

Ah, how could I forget?

The Cold Shower.

Funny how Thursday it was calming, vs. Friday afternoon's torture chamber.

Oof.

But it did feel good once done.

And now, I think I need to turn in.

Nite!
...said the girl who has the a/c blasting in her room, two lights on , and the tv blaring. Damn the energy grid, I'm raising my con ed bill tonight.
