Ka-Boom!

Although my neighborhood was mostly unaffected by Wednesday's sudden and violent thunderstorm¹, we did get clipped by the one yesterday, losing power for about eight hours.

I hadn't realized how many of my daily activities involve the computer. I was kind of at loose ends for most of the blackout period. (I finished reading two novels and started in on a third, by the end having to rely on a flashlight.) The power came back on just in time for me to watch "Stargate SG-1"; too bad it was such a dull episode...

1. Well, apart from getting rained on, wind-blown, and thundered at, of course.

Playlist 18

I've kind of fallen behind on these. (Yes, I intend to do this for all twenty-six playlists.)

A few minutes ago, the Walker Brothers' "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" (which I love) came on and, as is my wont, as soon as the chorus came up I started singing along with it.

Ben, who had been lying in the cubby under my desk, promptly got up and walked out.

I think I've just been dissed.
