I remember in 1994 when none of my friends had computers and this was how life was every day

I'm completely cut off from the world!

Ok, obviously not completely, or I wouldn't be posting this, but if I want to stay in my own home, then I really am cut off from the world. And isn't that the most 21st century thing anyone has ever said?

Our building is experiencing an unexpected power outage right now. It started out deceptively; we lost power in the kitchen and the lights in three rooms were only at half power. Then Lauren's clock radio was possessed by a poltergeist and started speaking at me even though it was OFF. Then my clock turned off, but the TV still worked. And then suddenly... no power. At all. And they don't know when it will be back.

And then, since I'm a genius, I decided I should put my new playlists on my iPod before I shut the computer down. However, when I plugged it into my computer, I got a little pop-up window telling me that my iPod software needed to be updated, so I complied. The problem? After updating the software, the iPod needed to be plugged into an outlet. So then I was without power and without iPod. No music. No TV. No Internet. I was All Alone.

Tragedy.

Luckily, Lauren's office is in the next building over, and it still has full power, so I'm over here checking my mail in her short break before her next meeting. But after that... Back to tragic alone-ness. I might have to leave the house tonight. (Yeah right.)
