A tale of two sides of the street

Trucks are gone and yes more houses in my immediate neighborhood have power but my block nope. There are houses on both sides of the street. If you notice in one its the stop sign at the corner how many times have I taken that picture. As more houses have light than did last night MLGW has been busy, but the "Saturday initial estimate" is almost like a set in stone ultimatum.

Can I hope sure, could prayers help I don't know a single person without power who would turn them back, you never see how vulnerable our electronic worl is until times like this. Then you wonder why weren't we more interested in solar, why haven't we demanded that all power lines be buried not just the new ones. And please don't be the douche who says" but the cost", your rates will be jacked up regardless. Somebody charging you more for the exact same thing, giving you less service, and claiming cost increases is as built into capitalism as it is to complain about profits when you earn a 6 or 7 figure salary even though the company is failing.

Last time I checked if I didn't do my chores right Dad didn't give me my allowance he made me go back and redo it right and THEN he gave me my allowance. Because then I had earned it, and if cut corners and got caught later, I got punished and STILL had to redo it until I got it right. So please rate hikes are going to happen regardless to if the bury everybodies lines. So yeah I know the okie doke, and you throw the punch at the body because while the head is easy to move the body is a much bigger target.

I mean I am glad for the folks who got power back today, and as they kept working til after 8 pm there is hope and a chance that MAYBE tomorrow I will be watching Smallville(fingers crossed). Yeah don't ask me why I am wasting battery lamenting this, but I am. I guess even though I can't interact with my readers and blog followers that this, just able to say whatever is on my mind and post it(raw or not) is comforting to me now. And comfort is at a premium when you have no power and it looks this dark and desolate.

Okay battery light is orange time to go

No Power Day 2

Well first this morning I got an update:power will not be restored until saturday at the earliest. This being thursday of course I'm in an extremely cheerful mood. So that means 2 more days of cold showers MINIMUM, no html updates for my blog(doing them in these phone editors is a big no no), no checking to see how many folks visited, no watching my favorite animes, nor my favorite pornos(or soon to be favorite *wink wink* *nudge nudge*), no easily charging my phones, keeping up with my favorite shows(which I usually catch on the net anyway). I think I'm gonna let a friend start critiqueing my blog. I respect her enough that while im sure the number of "red marks" I get will be vast it will be out of love not grammar naziness.

I know I haven't done the "weight loss journey" blogs like I was supposed to do and now without the lights its hard to keep up with my workouts. If I can't see how can I make sure 1. The band isn't breaking 2. I'm hitting the right angle 3. I have enough room. I may try it anyway tonight two days break is enough. And my diet sucks now can't cook because we have an electric stove, so its all fast food.

Another thing to add to my list of things I need to get: a notepad, a sketchpad, pencils, pens, and either colored pencils or pens. I told a friend I would start drawing and trying to write again and I am going to do that. I must fight my procrastination streak likes its the plague.

What can I say this week and the loss of my access to. Y digital lifestyle is lighting a fire under my behind. There will be a movie blog this week, my boss will be pissed but saturday is gonna have a cut off time. As for my personal life, well its rocky, you want to know ask, simply put I ramble on but personal matters I can just blast for hours so I prefer to make that precision not scattershot.

The Reason for the extended power outage was a power pole snapping and then a tree falling across other lines. Needless to say I could really do a blog the differences between blackberry's and this motorola backflip now battery life is a sore spot right now the Crackberry burns strong, the android not so much. Great features just lousy battery life for now.

That's a future blog though, stone age status has me trying to put it all in my blog in this one shot, and of course I have to publish them all raw, yeah loving that right now. Anyway for those stopping by thanks, for my fellow Memphians still without power I hope MLGW remembers this come bill time(and the lack of national news coverage is annoying)
