PSA, Part Irene

[sara_tanaquil]

The storm has almost completely passed through the Hartford area, barring a few wind gusts and light rain.

The good: I still have power, unlike the approximately 50% of all CT households that are currently powerless and might not be restored for a week or more. I count that pretty lucky. (Half my town is out, apparently.)

The bad: Comcast (which means, my tv and Internet) is apparently down. If Comcast's recovery takes as long as the power outage, I might be internetless for days. (Can't say I really care about tv.)

I'm back to relying on my phone's 3g service for contact with the outside world. (That, and an emergency am radio.) It's amazing how helpless I feel without my Internet lifeline. Maybe this will be a healthy fast? Kind of like a hurricane-imposed Lent season.

You need a hobby that doesn't require connectivity. Like reading manga, or something ...

I have a stack of manga at my elbow right now! This should be good for the backlog.

It's past Springfield, MA and for us, now the sun is nearly out where we are. I keep expecting the other shoe to drop. But it must be over, right? they don't back track on themselves, right? Baka weather.

Never lost power, never lost internet. I spent last evening knitting and eating bunny shaped pretzels and watching The Prince of Persia (shut up). I thought for sure I'd wake up to no electricity, but instead I woke to a sinus infection. By 10am people were out walking around as though nothing had happened. It's actually quite pleasant now. *shrug*

Sucks about no cable, but I'm glad you have electricity!! ♥

I'm sorry to hear that your Comcast went out. However, I am looking forward to all the manga reviews we'll get from you when your connection is fixed!

Glad to hear you're ok! I hope power comes back to everyone back home soon, but at least it sounds like you were super lucky!

Now, commence backlog attack!

Ahh, sucks about the internet. But glad you're OK, and with power! Have fun with your manga. ^_~

I choose to believe that Comcast is performing a backlog intervention.
