ShadowWraith

So what did you guys do during the outage? My List:

1. Played the ELECTRIC guitar w/o an amp, got kinda old fast.
2. Dug out old board games and played with my family, kicking ass at monopoloy is cool
3. Touch football with some neighbors while there was still light. 8 year olds and bad hand-eye coordination dont mix.
4. Read some books. Dont know if any of you have tried it, but reading a book via superbright LED light is pretty tough.
5. Talked on the phone for an hour or so. feel like a girl now. jk

sub zero

Fooled around with my new tripod, took some crazy 15 second exposure shots of cars passing outside my window (no good came out of this ).

Ate all the ice cream in the fridge.

Listened to my iPod until the batteries died, then listened to a freebie radio that I won once. Never thought I'd find a use for that radio...

ironically, my streets transformer caught fire that night, so I hung out with all my roomies, and took one out to eat a killer hot dog place called SPIKES, came home and slept.

Let's see... since I'm just a bit south of all that, the power only dimmed here, but never went out. I spent the rest of the night thinking about how crazy it is that we, as a society, have become so dependent on electricity. Then, afterward, I started thinking about how the black out affected just the north eastern tip of the country and how the rest of the country probably doesn't give a rat's ass that the power went out.

I just walked around NYC. Talking to random people...

Fifteen Short

Yup, Im west coast. So I didnt get effected in the least. But I heard about it on Spanish TV while I was rewinding Agent Cody Banks (Dont ask...) And was wondering why the hell people were just walking down the freeway. Then I followed it via newscasts. So, powers back up though? Thats good, blackouts are annoying.

absorbentishe

I was at work and in the middle of a jerk, kind of lost the interest in the dark.

asshopo

We (wife, kids, and myself) went down to the neighbors where they had a generator. We had cold pop, hot food, fans galore, and a 60in tv with dvd player kicken. We stayed the night, like hell was I going to go home to sweat my ass off in bed 13 people in that house, and we all slept comfortably with 12 or so fans.

Glad-I-Ate-Her

Not a whole lot. It was too damn hot. I just hung out and talked to people I've seen but never talked to. In certain instances it was OK but other, damn some weird people out there.

I cleaned out my fridge today and dumped stuff I didn't remember I had!! I guess that was a good thing.


Yay for AC's!!

Listened to the radio until it died at 10pm, than fell asleep.

bparker805

I watched TV. It was a great day to live on the West Coast.

Kaos

Took a nap, woke up and went to a friend's place and BBQ'd some burgers that would have gone bad, then went swimming.

JumpinJesus

I stood in the middle of the throngs of people leaving the subway stations and shouted, "Soylent Green is made from people! It's peeeeeoooppppllllllllllllllllllleee!!!"

Nice!!!

I walked to a friends house, which caused nice massive blisters on my poor feet. Luckly we were only out of power for about 4 hours.

Darkblack

I thought this would have turned into a masturbation thread by now....

neoinoakleys

Well, I went home picked up my wife, and headed over to a friend's house for BBQ. We ate hamburgers and hot dogs and the like...then got up and headed home.

Wife and I made wild passionate love...(what else is there to do??) then tired ourselves out and fell asleep.

Next morning, had another round...fell asleep again. Woke up and TAH-DAH....we had power...

We need to have these power outs more often...:-)

Thursday night: the never ending Uno game from hell, by candlelight, natch.
Friday am: sleep of the dead
Friday afternoon: malling up in Flint (can't believe I'm admitting this!).
Friday night: read until sleep mercifully took me.
The power came on @ 12:30 am. I was sawing logs.
Saturday am: Go clean up the mess at work.
