So, about 1:30 pm on Sunday (3/12) we lost power at our house. We got power at about 6pm today. T'was interesting to rely on candles for a night and morning. I used my iphone for my alarm though. I don't usually wake up at 5am willingly.
Why 5 am? Well I could wake up at 6am and take an hour ride on the bus or catch a ride with Katie and Susan to LCC, which takes about a half hour. They both work there (LCC), usually one or the other has to be there at 7am. Besides the couches in the centerbuilding are comfy and I can at least doze on them until other people show up.
No playing video games, no interwebs, it was HORRIBLE! Not really, I just wanted to say that. Actually what I did was read by candle light. The best part though was that we had hot water. I've decided I like having a gas powered water heater.
Ah about reading, I've been reading the Cat Who... series by Lillian Jackson Braun. I finished the first one last night, The Cat Who Could Read Backwards. I'm reading the next one which is The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern. If you don't know what the Cat Who series is about I'll give a little teaser. The main character is Jim Qwilleran a veteran news reporter that disappeared from the spotlight and shows up a few years later at a newspaper called the Daily Fluxion. While he is used to doing crime stories he gets stuck with... the art beat. But the art beat turns out to be right up his alley as murders start happening. In all of this he meets an uncanny siamese, Koko, with a nose for clues. Koko's real name is Kao K'o Kung, and he is endowed with a beautiful set of whiskers. Why the whiskers are relevant you will have to read to find out. ^_^
