Power went out this evening around 6pm for about an hour-and-a-half. *sigh* It came back on just as I was about to head out for a quick bite to eat with a friend. It came back on JUST as I was about to leave. Fortunately, Utah Power is more reliable than UDOT or Qwest (the local/regional telco).

Went to a couple of friends’ (Scott and Dan – who would have thought: brothers who live together and are not at each others’ throats) for Movienight. Before starting, we went to the grocery store for snacks, or as they are referred to in Utah: “treats.” I don’t think that I will go into my diatribe about differences in terminology right now – it would take too long. Walking into the store, we got eyefuls of a mullet on the hoof. According to the guys that I was with, this part of town is the breeding ground for mullets. We left the store and got back to Scott and Dan’s and their mother and another friend were there. So we sat and talked for a little bit and then Movienight began. We watched “O Brother, Where Art Thou.” I have to admit that I wasn’t very interested in seeing it when it was in theatres. I was wrong. It was quite good, I think that I may have to watch it again to make certain that I didn’t miss anything. After the movie we settled into some good, old-fashioned videogame ass-whoopin! We played a few games of “SNK vs. Capcom” and then sat back and watched the long-anticipated “grudge match” of “The Typing of the Dead.” It was AMAZING. I work in a facility where typing is what we do. Tonight, there were only two keyboards in action and it was almost the same as listening to the 150+ keyboards at work. Wow. After that, we moved on to “SoulCalibur.” Now, it was my turn to whoop up on someone. And I did. 🙂

On the way home, the on-ramp to the freeway was closed, so I got to go on a field trip. Did I mention how unreliable UDOT is? *GAH* My detour took me near the airport so I decided that since I was about —> <--- far from work, I'd stop in and say "Hi" to Jess and see how things had gone to that point. Turns out that there was a problem (not work- related), but that it had been recently resolved. I'm glad that I stopped by... it made me feel better. So, I came home. The power's still on. The cats hadn't thrown a party while I was out. Or maybe they did, but cleaned up really well after themselves. Who knows? Watched a little DS9. Now, I think it's time for a light snack and just wait for Jess to get in. G'night.
