"... it is my divine power." And speaking of power, thats what I didn't have for 16 hours from two nights ago, to yesterday morning.  And why?, you may or may not ask. Because of a storm. Damn electricity at my street is useless. One little thunderstorm, and everything goes to hell all day.  It was a cool storm though.  But I had nothing to do! I watched the best part of the storm for 20 minutes, then I read a book until it was too dark, then I played solitaire by a gas lamp, then I watched a movie on my laptop until the battery ran out, then I fell asleep, then I woke up and the power was still off, then I went to work. It was a depressing two days.  Not to mention I had some bad expired jube-jubes today, and it gave me a dry scratchy throat. So three not-so-great days in a row. Ah... am.... irritated!  So, thats that. Yep. ... : / Killerzzz |

A storm is never wasted when you can look out of your window to watch all the people who got caught outside in it! ;D

Watch from the window? I sat in my yard for a front row seat, and breathed deep! Sa-tis-faction. ;D

doesn't sound too bad, killerzzz. i would enjoy storms (as long as they don't hit my electrical appliances especially my PC). they are cooling & make me do things that are not routine. it can be picking up a book which i have yet to read, or listening to music that i rarely listen to with my palm handlheld.
or just sit back & relax or even take a nap as the storm progresses.

Yeah, but it was mostly all night. And I couldn't run the gas-lamp forever. So mostly I slept. I guess that sounds not bad for most people, but I should also put that I don't like to sleep. If my dern brain didn't need to sleep, I never would. I even have a hard time falling asleep cuz my mind is always running full time (even when I sleep, giving me vivid dreams). Also I don't own an MP3/CD player, and I'd been reading a bunch so I was out of the mood.  If the storm happened during the day, I would have had a wonderful time! ;D Clean up here and there; read; go outside; heck, I'd even do a puzzle or something. But I need decent light for that. Actually, I sorta think I suffer from some form of Achluophobia or Lygophobia or whatever its called (fear of darkness), because all my life I've had a vivid imagination; and what does a vivid imagination see in the dark? Everything. Good to see that other people enjoy storms too though. I do when I can. Daytime summerstorms, I love.  "Dancin' in the rain..." Killerzzz |

Lol, poor Killerzzz. At least you weren't born at a too bad era. ;D But yeah, the elctricity has it hard over here too. I discovered a new threat to the home power this year though: raccoons.  Yesterday night was the second time in a couple of months that they messed with it... |

Put a lightning rod on top of your house and use the storms energy to power your PC, that way you can still talk to us  |

Unfortunately I'm in the wrong area for aurora borealis, but at least I still get to fear the slush! Killerzzz |
