Left in the dark

So will the friendly folks at Nevada Power keep their word? I'll find out at 7:30 tonight.

I've just moved into my new apartment. Nice, carpeted, clean - and dark. Apparently, one needs to call the friendly people at Nevada Power a year in advance to book their services. Must be because they are so good at what they do. Anyway, last night I didn't shower. And that's nasty. Because I sweat. And it's hot here these days. No lights to see where I'm going *BOINK* into the wall.

And no electricity means no airconditioning. No airconditioning means apartments stays warm. Staying warm when I'm already buzzing from my own body odor is not usually good. So I called them up today and begged and pleaded and put on my best "Oh please help me, I'm foreign!" voice. They said it would be on by 7:30 tonight.

Mmmm, and GWB said the war would have been over by now.

Stay tuned.
