perspective lite

So, I'm at my friend's house with some friends for the Memo. day thing. We've been doing the pig out thing for HOURS, and it's winding down when the power goes out. First, the 4 year old freaked out, which was ok, because I was right there. Then, there's the big "find the flashlight" production. THEN, the ENTIRE FUCKING NEIGHBORHOOD wanders out into the street. What the hell, people? It's 9:30 at night. Why is a power outage such a big deal?

So then I drove home. Got here and my automatic motion sensing lights didn't come on. I had flipped the switch and was cursing myself. Go figure...
