Holy Cow

Five whole days with no posts! I think that calls for a super-duper summary edition of TIIADU. Hold onto your hats as we go crazy, tilde-style!

~Flogging Molly! Pretty kick-ass show. Haven't seen bands like that since sometimes during high school. The Fillmore is a great venue.

~More crappy temp work! But this time, I met some cool people, and made slightly more money than usual.

~Even more temp work! Two (2) whole weeks worth, starting bright and early tomorrow morning. The downside: pay is marginal. The upside: at a law firm. Also, it's a job.

~Holy hailstones*, Batman! On Friday night, a mini thunderstorm tore through our little part of town, dropping two or three lightning strikes right on our heads (not quite literally, but damn close) and hail the size of M&Ms.
* please note: spellchecker caught my original typo, "hailtsones" and suggested (drumroll please) "waltzing". Bravo, spellchecker. How well you know me.

~PG&E responds in force! The above-mentioned lightning blew our building's power to hell. It was out for about 22 hours, which was fine for the first 12, but then became boring. When PG&E finally got going, they had one giant crane, three van/trucks, and two cherry-pickers on the scene. I'm pretty sure it was just one guy actually working.
