The Zereps

i’ve just been spurred on by the jakkit to write a post. 😀

right now we’re in our 4th day without power. well, technically, we have power, but only 80 volts out of 120, so everything but our energy efficient light bulbs and a heavily backed-up router is offline. we had to throw away everything in our fridge, but hopefully we’ll get reimbursed for it.

to give an accurate idea of what’s goin’ on here in astoria, i’ll give you several links…read ’em! 😉

this is a general idea of what it’s like, from a news station’s point of view.

here’s an article talking about stores in our area.

local stores

and to get the real story of what we’re goin’ through, read the topic entitled brownout on astorians to get a good idea, go to pages 5-7…heh

eric brought home california pizza kitchen from manhattan for dinner, so i’m a happy camper now! 😀 he just hit the street again to scope us out some soda pop. yay! jabba and i are hangin’ low. thankfully the weather is quite nice or else we’d be riding the bus all day!

other than that, we’ve both just been workin’ and looking forward to our move. 😀 does sweating count? we’ve been sweating alot on our 15-20 minute walk to the subway….darn the humidity!

oh yeah, and alot of the daily show, the colbert report, and mind of mencia. funny. frickin’ funny.

[update!] day 5 and still no power! i’m online at work only today. maybe it will come back tonight! 😀

[update 2] it’s been a bad day. this is no longer funny. i got my lunch and dinner from a red cross disaster relief station truck. had to fight a mob to get a sandwhich, oranges, and dry ice. the severe lightening storms don’t help. this is honestly a disaster and should not be happening.
