power off

Me: Hey... do you have electricity?

Celia: Um, yeah, duh!!! And why do you care? What's wrong with you today?

Me: Do me a favor and turn on CNN, I'm curious about something...

Celia: Hey, there's a blackout in NYC, there's a street and a raised highway and a church, and all these people. Are you there? Wave to the camera so I can see you!

Me: I think that's somewhere other than where we are.

Celia: That's too bad.

Two words... Holland Tunnel

Actual thought at 4:15... Hmmn, all these people milling around, I'd best go catch a bus before they all do. Bet it's the only way home. Damn me for not leaving at 4!!!!!

I wonder if I have to work tomorrow, well, today. And what is wrong with me? My boss called to see if I was home and alive (which I was not, and was, respectively), and I spoke to him about work concerns from the power outage. Like what will need to be done in certain areas. When did I become a responsible person?

How is it that my place isn't unpacked, and I can't find half my stuff (including the things that hold the shelves up) yet I can find my camp lanterns in under a minute in the dark. Weird stuff...

When it comes to New York, you seem to have a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time...

I think that happens to everyone who works in New York. Some kind of unwritten rule or something.

Well, not really. I mean, I'm still sound of mind and body and unharmed. Many worse things could've happened on many occasions. I mean, I've hung out in Penn Station at 1 am.
