I'm cranky. We've been without power for 24 hours. It doesn't look like we're getting power back tonight. The storms just have not let up much, downing trees and powerlines both Sunday, when we were helping out S with brother's wedding reception, and yesterday, while we were busy partaking of the most delicious bourbon slush. I guess with all the other neighborhoods having gone dark, our time was due. My car is trapped in the garage, our refrigerated goods (just went grocery shopping, don't you know) will have to be emptied out and disposed...eventually. We'll have to cook the meat tonight. le sigh. At least the only thing we have to worry about is spoiling food. We don't have a tree in our house or any damage. I've grown fond of the shortwave radio. Alas, I need to wash my hair. That will be fun, in cold water. OK, enough crankiness.
Eventually, I may get around to the Devotchka review and a recap of the wedding reception. But don't hold your breath.
( 04:14 EH | grumpy. )Ugh, ugh, ugh. That sucks soooo bad. Fingers crossed for a midnight miracle of power being restored.

We had already gone to bed after wandering around the mall and then picking up a pair of booklights at Borders so we could at least read for a bit. But when the air came on, WHEE!!!! We woke up and set all the electronics, then went right back to bed. I'm happy. Well, except for having to clean out the fridge tonight...
