Hah! The power went out! For about... 2 hours. There was much fun to be had, starting with I didn't realize it had happened because my laptop's got battery backup and I could care less about the rest of the world -- I just thought the router had tripped over its shoelaces again and something had fallen off my bed onto my lightswitch.

Vivs and Pidge came down with flashlights to save me from my cavern, and it went something like this:

V: the power went out!
M: oh, did it?
V+P: yeah! you didn't notice?
M: well now that you mention it... [a few seconds later] hey, the stove's gas, isn't it?
P: uh, yeah.
M: good! 'cause I want pizza.

we later determined that yes, it is a gas stove, but it is an electric oven. so we ate pringles and chatted in the living room -- Vivs and I ranted and giggled about work, and the crazy Mexicans therein, and another coworker who through not so terribly much fault of her own worked the day on three hours of sleep and hung-over; Pidge and Da just made curious 'hmh' noises. there was also talk of a steam-powered internet, the passage of time in Star Wars, the previously mentioned in this journal Outer Rim Job, and the prediction once made that travelling at 35 mph or more would make a person explode. much fun, life with nerds.

then Vivs and I went out to the family room to listen to the last two episodes of the Hitchhiker's Guide radio show, Pidge joined us, then the dog joined us, then Vivs left for bed, then I dozed off, then the power came back on! and that was the adventure.
