Well, that was loads of fun…not.
Been spending a quiet weekend writing, thinking, watching episodes of Burn Notice. About a third of the way through the final 2 parter, poof – no electricity. I peeked outside – seemed the entire complex was dark.
Thank goodness my laptop had enough ambient light to let me find my lantern flashlight thingie. Spent about a half hour in the dark, still watching episodes (yay for long battery life on Nameless!).
Got the lights back briefly, and then once again, nothing for another half hour, 45 minutes. One thing I do know–my mini book light I just bought is awesome. Lets me read my Sony reader without any other light around. 
Electricity seems to be back now and I’m crossing my fingers.
BTW, Burn Notice rocks!
Sadly, only one more day of holiday weekend left.
ETA: Oh yeah, about holiday gifting – I’m all about what John Scalzi said earlier today. Really. (including the bit about the car ::g::)

Loved Scalzi’s article.
And the car! OMG, how Ray Kowalski would drool over that car.

Thanks, cuz! It was a little weird, especially since we didn’t have any weather to account for it. Oh well. Power held all day/night today, which was great, so I could ge some work done.
Of the good, I did some rearranging of the chapters on Blood Bargain and it’s much better that way. (whew!) Now, some buckling down over the next few weeks to finish off that first draft and then polishing. This writing stuff is HARD! ::g::

I suspect power outages are going to become like traffic jams in Southern CA, where they will seemingly just happen, without cause… ;P
And Yay! for writing progress!
