Do not taunt Happy Fun Ivan

So last night a little before 8 I was lounging in front of the TV in my pajamas waiting for the microwave to finish.

Me: Ahh, a whole night to spoil myself rotten after the hurricane and the headaches. I wonder what mindless TV I should watch next?
Electricity: *dies*
Me: Apparently, nothing.

All was not lost, though. My landlords invited me upstairs for tacos and guacamole by candlelight. My landlady and I ended up sitting up till midnight trading stories and drinking strawberry margaritas. (Can't let the ice go to waste, you know...)

I think the power came back on sometime around 6. All I know is I didn't have to shower in the dark (basement apartment, pitch black, yo) and this makes me happy. However, it didn't stop me from nicking my ankle. Two hours later and it's still bleeding. I'm on my fourth Band-Aid.

I really want to be back in bed right now.

That's OK, one doesn't have to be in the dark to injure one's self, if one is dim enough. I reached nto the kitchen drawer to get a knife last night and found that the knife next tot he knife I wanted had decided to store itself edge-up and I was not careful enough to avoid it.

It's X times harder to do a number of simple kitchen tasks with a sticking-plaseter on the tip of one's finger...
