Open Sesame

I sat in my car with the engine running screaming obscenities at the garage door that refused to open with my magic button. It had been a long, stormy drive home from work and all I wanted was to get inside of my GD house.

Suddenly, I heard honking behind me and I quickly composed myself. My neighbor gestured for me to roll the window down, and told me the power was out. I waved a sheepish thank you and proceeded to walk around the house to manually unlock the front door.

Sure as shit, the power was out, and had been for some time. I changed into pajamas (yes, it was THAT kind of day) and sat on the couch. What the hell do you do when the power is out?

I knitted for about 15 minutes then grew bored. It's just not quite as much fun when the Real Housewives of the OC aren't there to join me.

Finally, I found an LED headlamp that K must use when he goes mining for coal, or some other such absurd thing, and decided I would start Fifty Shades of Grey. (I'm sorry, Lor... I had to see what the hype was about!)

And that is how I spent the rest of my evening: starfished on the couch, trying not to sweat on myself, reading porn with a headlamp on. Not creepy at all.

  1. Hahahahahaha, oh man. That is both a fantastic and a terrible story. I hate it when the power goes out in the evenings. I can't help but think of all the TV shows I could be watching and all the things I could be doing on the internet!!

    (Btw, I finally finished Dawson's Creek! And wrote a ridiculous post about it. I'm still in love with Pacey, 14 years later...)

    1. Melbs!! Holy shiz, I'm impressed!! Do you know that I watched every one up until the finale! I still haven't seen it, I heard something sad happens and I'm scared. Btw, I still love pacey too.

    2. It was kind of a random ending. Yes, something sad happens. And it made me cry. But (minor spoiler that I feel I can give you as it is reassuring more than spoilery) nothing happens to Pacey, so...there's that??

      It gave me a lovely sense of closure if that helps!
