Yay resourcefulness...
OMGWTF THE POWER IS BACK YAY. A huge storm came up, and the power in the house flickered for a while, then went out completely for about two hours. When my parents are off at Boy Scout camp, no less, so Rachel and I are alone in the house with the pets. We couldn't even go anywhere because the alarm on the house was out, so we had about eighteen candles burning in the kitchen and played the Jumangi board game... it was very exciting. Anyway, the power just came up again about twenty minutes ago, thank the gods. Now time to get back to being technology-dependent and doing... whatever it was I was doing before. Later!
