so its nice to have some power for the first time in five days. last two days i couldnt deal with it and lived in boynton with the girls.
spent the last two days hanging out, playing cards and drinking beer, driving past curfew, movies, cooking, celebrating danielle's birthday [ <3 ], and eating a lot.
so that hurricane thing was indeed a monster. not as bad as it should have been i guess but all i know is that its very difficult to drive through my neighborhood because of all the uprooted trees in the way. across the main street from me they were rescuing people from their houses by boat. the park by my house is also infested with tons and tons of dead birds.
driving is the craziest thing. people are nuts. to whomever thought anarchy would ever work, i hope they realize that they were terribly wrong. we cant even function without lights telling us when to go and stop.
its amazing to see such everyday things like ICE and eggs become such a hot commodity. Lines around the block just for gas or mcdonalds. i saw a mob of at least 50 people waiting in line for checkers. checkers isnt even very good!! it seems unreal. i felt like i was in one of those movies like deep impact or something when listening to the radio a couple of days ago where people would call in saying where they had spotted a water truck or a plywood truck, after they had followed it all through the county.
at least i have power again. thank fucking god for that.
