October 24th.
The TWENTY-FOURTH. OF FREAKIN' OCTOBER.
The hurricane has had me awake for 28 minutes now, because 28 minutes ago the power went out for the first of what I'm sure will be many times. I might not have noticed the outage were I a normal kinda guy, but since I have
sleep apnea and have a
CPAP mask strapped to my head while I sleep, I notice right away if the power goes out,
Power has gone out 7 times now, since I woke up. I'm already tired of this crap.
And, in the tradition of guilty self-pity, I sit here in my comfy AC and gripe on the internets about how inconvenient this hurricane is. People are gonna die, and the worst I will likely have to deal with is power outages. (And yes, the power went out while I was typing that last sentence. Thank God for UPSes.)
Actually, now that I'm thinking about the effects of this storm, the weather is screwing up my XM radio reception quite a bit, and THAT is tragic, people. TRA-freaking-GIC.
