Although I still am grateful to have escaped major hurricane damage, it is starting to grate on my nerves that it seems that EVERYONE has power at home except me!!! Even my brother, R., and J. Fu got power yesterday. S and I raced home last night after he got off work and I finished at Job #2 to see if hopefully, now that everyone else we know has power, should we also be so lucky and.... NO.
S and I met at the Mezz on Monday night to watch Heroes and have dinner. I also drank a pint of Shiner Bock. Last night we went back to the Mezz to watch The Shield and have dinner. This time I drank 2 pints of Shiner. If we continue to be without power for much longer, I fear I will turn alcoholic.
Tonight we're going to the gym. The current predictions are that we might have power by Sunday, but the last predication was that we might have it by tomorrow, so now I am definitely no longer optimistic. Fortunately R. has said that we can move in with her if we don't have power by this weekend. I am still refusing to talk to Mudflap since he forgot all about me, S and the baby last Friday and forgot to leave us his key while he went to go stay with his girlfriend and left his perfectly good 3 bed/2 1/2 bath house that has power completely empty, which is why S is staying over there and I am not. Oh well, at least it's not MY karma that's in trouble.
I am arriving late to Job #1 and leaving early b/c at night when I finally fall asleep it's hard to wake up in the morning. We have a wedding to go to this Saturday, where apparently S will serve as Best Man even though he refused to go get fitted for that vest like he was supposed to. Fine with me, I surely don't want to spend the $ and now we can ill afford stupid wedding vests anyway! Also apparently this marriage is already in trouble and though the groom came thisclose to backing out he does not have the balls to call it off. I can't believe this shit and I certainly can't believe we are agreeing to go participate in this farce and even have to drive to another county to participate on top of that!
I am starting to get a little cranky, but I'm just tired... Tired of not sleeping well at night, tired of eating out for every meal (b/c I refuse to deal with the hassle AND expense of hunting for ice every day!), and tired of being alone at night in the dark! I wish S would stay with me but all he would do is bitch about the heat, etc. etc. so I'm glad he's gone while at the same time I miss him. To be honest though, I probably wouldn't be this pissed off if the news from Washington and the 700 billion dollar bailout which I can't even get into right now, weren't making me so aggravated. And I'm also aggravated b/c I remember living through Hurricane Alicia and I don't recall my mom getting any assistance from FEMA, or ice, or MRE's or a trailer or anything!!!!!!!!!!!! I just feel like this country is turning dangerously more socialist day by day and I have decided I'm not voting for McCain OR Obama! My votes are all going Libertarian and I don't even give a damn anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day... I am grateful for my holes at work. "Holes" are what I'm calling the electrical outlets after the Seinfeld "Frogger" episode.
GEORGE: All right, let's--let's focus. Can we get back to the plan?
SLIPPERY PETE: Well, I need a battery for this kind of a job. Can I at least steal a battery?
GEORGE: Fine. Steal the battery. Now, all right, here is the Frogger. This is the front door, and this is the outlet.
SLIPPERY PETE: What's that?
GEORGE: The outlet?
SLIPPERY PETE: Mm-hmm.
GEORGE: That's where the electricity comes out.
SLIPPERT PETE: Oh, you mean the holes.

Well my dear, I was glad to hear you finally got power today. I would like to note for the record that as soon as we got power I immediately invited you over.
Are you sitting naked under the vents? Are you stocking the freezer with meat? Are you planning an all-night reading session? Not that I am planning any of these...
