I was playing Enemy Territory when the power went (I was pissed 'cause I just made Major, too). Anyway, once I realized it was totally out I busted out the camping lanterns and the candles, and kinda just hung around. I had my portable CD player going with the news, managed to listen to a bunch of Symphony X cd's...did a lot of BBQ'ing and (slowly) made it into my pool for a while. All in all it wasn't bad at all, sure it was hot and whatnot but it's not like my life was in any danger. I met a few more neighbors too, they seemed nice.
