jab

something made me sick and stole my weekend, so i left work halfway thru today. power outage at home as i was updating this journal. i was going to leave, but i've never seen the hallway outside my door without power. it's 100% pitch black. not a single window, and once my door shut i couldn't see an inch in front of me. i'm not far from the stairs, but i was really high and not up to the challenge. plus it's daytime and there's plenty of light in my place.

i decided to track down a credit card receipt i need but couldn't find it. i did find one for Application For Prelimanary Membership - Italian Cowboy. there's no amount or charge, but it's got my parent's address (drivers license) so it must have been to get a drink somewhere dry where you have to "join" the restaurant. i may yellow page the italian cowboy online and see what's up. the receipt's really old and i don't remember it. then i sat around and thought about my power dependancy.

i'm nothing without power and that's kind of strange. movies/tv/video games out, music out, computer out, cooking out. i can't even use my phone if the base isn't powered on. i do have a regular phone in the bathroom that i don't like using. with no power my options are reading, smoking, and using water. those are ok, but it's stuff that normally happens while i've got a bunch of stuff turned on. i'm a total power monkey.
