I spoke too soon. A few hours after my last post I lost the power again. But this time, I really enjoyed it. I rang up a good friend and went wandering around the city. Met up with other friends who were powerless. Cause this time, the power failure was in chunks. Want a hot meal? No worries. A 5 block walk and voila! Power. Very odd, but hey, at least it got me out of the house.

So I stayed power free until early evening on Saturday. It was great! Now don't get me wrong, I'm really all for lying around watching krapola tv from time to time. It's just nice to get a break and learn to entertain oneself in a different way.

In the end, there was no major looting (just a few frustrated kids smashing bus shelter windows), no crazy killing sprees (due to the power failure at least) and I walked more than I'd walked in months.
My only beef? What the fuck is up with the media having to name everything that happens?!?!?! BLACKOUT 2003! As effin' if. The captain obvious team strikes again!
