Lights Out

It's late in the afternoon. The power has gone out, again. It's
happened the majority of this week. I'm not really sure why though.
We hadn't had frequent power outages since December. And then, we
just figured it was because of thunder storms.

So a few things to do when the "listrik" goes out:
- Always check down the street to see if it's only your house.
- SMS (text) your friends to find out if it's also out in their area.
- Look in the pantry to see if there are any foods that don't require
cooking, let alone a microwave. Even the gas stove is connected to
the power.
- Remember where you last had the matches. Or at least remember
where your stash is. Make sure you're not down to your last box.
- Enjoy a candle lit bath - there's no better time!
- Invite a friend to use the bathroom, if their water is connected to
the power and they have a spacial engagement that's supposed to start
within the hour.
- Give thanks for iPods and Macbooks and catch up on some entertainment!
