This weekend was crazy. There was a big ice storm last Thursday night and we lost power last Friday at 2am and still haven't got it back. I am running my laptop off a generator. We lost cable TV Thursday night at about 8:30 and I thought that was bad, but the power went out at 2am. We have two generators hooked up to my house and one to Bun's house. We had the TV hooked up to a generator Saturday to watch DVDs and such and I turned it on at about 10pm and realized cable was back. Yeah!!! So I watched SNL Saturday, it was ok. I was expecting more being as it was Amy Poehler's last show and Hugh Laurie was hosting. It was funny though. I slept at Bun's Saturday and Sunday night because she didn't want to be alone and was afraid the generators would go out. Olga stayed at either Bun's house or our house since Friday because her house had no power or heat and we both have wood stoves. Olga went back last night because she got power back, but we still haven't. I think we are supposed to get it back tonight, hopefully. I was supposed to have my Networking and Computer Security final today, but my school canceled, now my final is next Tuesday December 23, the day before Christmas Eve. Bobby and Ralphie put both generators right outside the bathroom window at Bun's house with the exhausts facing the window and for a couple hours Saturday afternoon Bun kept complaining that she could smell exhaust fumes in the bathroom then in the kitchen. Then at like 6pm the Carbon Monoxide alarm went off in Bun's house because there was Carbon Monoxide in the exhaust fumes. Carbon Monoxide will kill you so we all had to leave, but Bun refused to leave. Mom was freaking out. Me, mom and dad all went outside and moved the generators and gas tanks away from the bathroom window. Ritchie came over and said it was all ok now. He even went to Loews and bought a second Carbon Monoxide detector and put in the bathroom. It was cool it was a dual smoke and Carbon Monoxide detector and it talked to you and told you to leave the house there was a Carbon Monoxide/smoke threat. So I went back over and slept at Bun's in case there was an issue with the generators. Bun had one generator hooked up to just her refrigerator and the other to everything else. At 2am Sunday morning I opened Bun's fridge and it was off. So I ran outside and checked the generator and it was out of gas. I filled it was gas, but I couldn't for the life of me get it started. Almost everything in Bun's fridge has to be thrown out and she had A LOT of food in there. I have spent A LOT of time on my project for Object Oriented Design and Analysis, I added a lot to it and refined it and made it better.
I think that is all have to say for now. This is by far the largest entry I've ever written.
My life really isn't interesting. I know no one reads this. I don't even know why I set it up and write in it.
