I just got home from work and was taking a shower when power went out.
I noticed I had no electricity, so I started reading a book...
Then my sister called me asking if I was alright. I asked why the fuck she'd be calling asking if I was alright...then she explained the blackout...and I said something like "that sucks"...and then she started relaying what was being shown on cable news (she lives in Tennessee)...then finally I said "ok, can I get back to my book?"...so I said goodbye and read til it got too dark and went to sleep and when I woke up I had power again.
Too bad I wasn't trapped in a subway tunnel, that would be a cool story to tell the grandkids...
