As of last night, my parents still didn't have power, and there are a few houses down the hill from me that look to still be black, due to a slight case of fallen tree.
This storm sucked.
And yay, remembered by K-Bug!
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The critical question is, did you get power back in time to see SNL?

I did, but I still didn't see it. Lillian got sick just to celebrate having access to a bath.

What is even happening?
Dude. When you are out on the town with Lauren Bacall, you make sure you're an attentive date, then repeat any great stories she tells to the hot guy when you return to the bar after you've seen her home!
Ha! We're sharing a brain again, Matt.

That's the sort of thing that will make people go postal.

It's like a thirty-second bit of ads and music, and it just keeps repeating. I think this might actually be hell.

There was music from A Charlie Brown Christmas playing at my post office. Which was mobbed. 30+ minutes, trying not to kill the woman with probably 50+ packages with my glare (in her defense, probably a business, shipping out last minute presents. )

And suddenly I'm remembering my own Year Without a Christmas, when I was on the other end of that customer service line, taking endless calls of how I was ruining people's Christmas, losing packages, etc. "What do you mean my package won't get to England before Christmas? It's only Dec. 20, I could fly to England and get there tonight." You do that, lady. For less than $5, though, it's going to take a little longer.
Sorry. Flashbacks. Sometimes I think I'm back in The Pit, with the endless phones ringing, and Joey's snapped and is screaming at the person next to him that he just can't take it anymore--
Sorry.

Every body should die when I stare at them
This isn't happening as you can see
I don't know just who to blame for lacking this ability!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!
All I want for Christmas
is a basilisk,
my own basilisk,
see my basilisk!...
