The Great Power Outages of 2008


When you are old and have lots of grandchildren, will you gather them around you one day and tell stories about the great windstorm of 2008 that left you without power for several days?

Just imagine the senior citizen version of yourself recounting these tales:
School was canceled for almost the whole week!
We had to throw out almost everything in the fridge!
Even most of the libraries were closed!
No Internet, spotty cell phone service, and no TV for dayssssss!
I resorted to playing Scrabble by candlelight with my family!
An entire tree fell on our roof!
A tree fell on my neighbor's car!
Every Chipotle in town was closed!
I had to put my makeup on in the dark!
My mom made me pick up all the sticks in the yard!

What's the craziest thing that the windstorm did to you? Are you back in school yet?

2008 VMAs


Ah, the MTV Video Music Awards. So much to talk about this year. Or, are you so punk rock/emo/underground/whatever that you boycott the VMAs?

Did you love or hate all things Britney?
Whose performance was your favorite?
Best and worst dressed?
Was anyone robbed of their reward? Or were all the winners truly deserving of a moon man?

Did you freak out about the Twilight incident and promptly post something like this on YouTube?:


Or this?:


If there are any other VMA-related YouTube rants we need to know about, Please share!
