friday may 8

today i came upstairs to my room a little after midnight, when the outcome of the rockets/lakers game had been decided. although it was still rather early, i debated going to bed -- i had nothing in particular to do, and wasn't feeling all that great. at this instant, my internal debate was interrupted by the power in the house going out. when it didn't come back in within the next minute, i realized that our neighbourhood's history of frequent and lengthy outages had made my decision much easier. i went to bed.
