Power Outages
Well that sucked. Major sucked.
The power went out Thursday night about 11 and didn't come back until about 6 yesterday. It was horrid.
The cold was the least of it, I was in full practise for Everest mode and it didn't get to me until it hit like 10 degrees and I broke and put on a sweathsirt and second blanket.
What got me was the total seclusion. You can't see the neighbour's houses up here to begin with, it's pretty rural and cut off. I've been here for a few power outages that lasted a few hours, this was a whole new world.
I felt very alone. Although I had some great stress-induced dreams. I really need to find out who that mysterious dark haired dude was that just happened to know that Meat Loaf's "I'd Lie for You" is (in my opinion) the most powerful song anyone could ever give me and sang it like a pro. I want one of those 'Take on Me' moments where it all comes to life.
Not that it was terrible, I spent a lot of time making shadow figures with my lantern and having wonderful conversations with Niss, Ahri, Meathe and Darkstar but it was bad juju.
Many thanks to Meathe for braving the cold of NY city and standing outside to call me and help me kill some time. I tried naked seal shadow figures but they all looked like my bad attempt at shadow alligators.
It's damn nice to be connected again though.
