stoopid ice!

the power went out again today. though this time it was a little more wide-spread.

at least it waited till the sun was up.

polite, wasn't it?

never let it be said that either snow, sleet nor freezing rain (much less speed limits) ever stopped the local race car driver mail man from getting the job done!

what a moron.

everything was covered with ice, and he was still trying to break the sound barrier.

like the saying goes, "that's what cemeteries are for."

you like scented candles?

i don't, but it seems that everyone else here does. i had to go outside just so i could breath.

proper respect.

i'm sure that they know what it is, but i doubt they've considered actually giving any... to me or anyone else.

the power is flickering again.

yay. :|

heard a nifty little song the other day: "in little time" by garnet crow.

it's a little sad, but then, most ballads are.

eGGie news update...

'kay, this'll be fun!

sooo, a little earlier, while the power was still out, it was decided that the female parental unit would go stay at the other female sibling unit's home - to watch over the dorky, demon nephew unit tomorrow.

that in and of itself is pretty bad, but...

part of the decision was made because the power had not as yet come back on. approximately five minutes before they were to depart said power returned and all was again well with the world! (not really, but we'll pretend it was so for the purposes of this story.)

being the psychic eGGie™ that i am, i made the statement that "when you get up there the power's going to go out, you know that, right?"

the female parental unit paid me no mind (much like usual), and they departed in great haste... or something.

about thirty minutes later, there was a telephone call from the dorky, demon nephew unit's mother. something along the lines of "oh my dog! the power pole blew up, the power lines fell down, and the yard's on fire!"

needless to say, they didn't have any power.

i was wrong, i admit that. the power went out before they even got there.

but that's only because they took longer to arrive at their destination than usual.

oh well, butter ruck next thyme!

be good lil' blog, hope your power stays on!
