Enough with the organizing, began to actually fix a bug today. Then the power went out. We were all standing about. Mth told us how he got his poison ivy, and about his cat dying. They were on the Cape and didn't have a shovel, so they put the dead kitty in the freezer. Decided that since I was planning on leaving early, that I would just leave rather than stand around waiting for the office to heat up.
The elevators didn't work, and the card key system also requires electricty. I was able to get into the parking garage through a door which apparently opens when the power fails. The actual garage door though requires electricity to open and close. I climbed up and pulled the manual release. MB's cousin Adm and an older colleague came by on their way out. They said they were still doing company business, so I asked for a $100 garage door opening fee. It had cooled off considerably by this point.
Back home. Dug some rot and debris out along the edge where the deck meets the house, and put down some flashing to try to avoid more damage. Guitar. A bit of email. Headed to Third Life and set up for my class. No students again, which makes it difficult to give a class. Stopped for a veggie burger. Back home again, and watched a bit of a DVD. MB returned from her BD teaching gig. Hanging out while she made lunches. More guitar. Enjoyed exploring the resonance of the instrument, playing percussion on it with little rubber mallets. Also, adjusted the truss-rod a little, as I was hearing some vibration from it. A snack with MB. Email and such. More mini-DV research.
A George Carlin quote:
New Rule for Starbucks customers: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the ass-hole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order "a decaf grande, half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet"--ooh, you're a huge ass-hole.
