This incident completely fucked up my weekend.

I came to realize that I am a spoiled American girl AND I DON'T CARE! Reliable sources of power are one of the reasons that I live here, goddammit.

A pox on me for romanticizing the black-out in NYC this summer. Nothing romantic about it. Just sucked. Did I mention it was pouring? And that we were in the middle of watching The Godfather? We ended up going for a walk in the rain, but it was basically anti-climactic. I didn't feel like being out. And the idea we had had about seeing LOTR for the second time this week was blown as well, since the movie theater was also experiencing the effects.
