Well, it's been about a week since I've been on SG. Freaking hurricane Sandy blew into my state and whooped the shit out of us!

I've been without power since about six hours before the hurricane made landfall. Thank god I already had a generator and we have a gas stove and water heater, otherwise this week would've sucked even more. A tree fell over and took out our cable and internet within the first few hours of the storm, so I figured "what the hell, I'll call now and get my name on the list." Verizon said we won't see them until November 8th - well they showed yesterday, and we still don't have electric!!! Good thing my generator has enough juice to power the tv and cable box too, lol. The power company says we'll be lucky if we get electric by next Wednesday. Ugh!!! And it ain't gettin any warmer out, so I spent some time this afternoon chopping up firewood for the fireplace that we never use - hope the chimney is clear.


I think the most annoying part of this ordeal was sitting in line for three hours yesterday just to get gas for the generator.


Honestly though, I shouldn't complain too much, at least there was no damage to my house. Towns 30 minutes east of me have been wiped right off the map - towns I visit, hang out in, have friends in, this really sucks.


Btw, I'm made a Rorschach mask for Halloween - which the governor postponed until November 5th. At least I got to wear it (and freak everyone out) for one Halloween party
