Silent Night, Holy what?

Blackout NY 2006
Are you serious?
Our power went down 3 days ago. Our lights started to dim, and sudden death of our cube...what could this be?
A bad omen?
Leaving us with no electricity what so ever. When we found out, our fridge is in danger...We were at state of emergency. How beautiful? No. It really isn't. Signals are out. Our entire block is totally out. We prayed that at least the kitchen, the fridge will come back on, since we did grocery shopping.

No AC, no fan, no light, no internet...Candle night dinner? No kidding. We are roasting in the apartment. Outside, where people are chilling like 4th July with their Cooler box, chairs, and their car stereo music, it was such an odd site to see. Family setting on the sidewalk, ConEd trucks pass by, never stopping sirens. It felt like the Halloween night, people are either bored by having fun. Dark buildings one after another, this is what it's like when all the lights go off. You can see stars. I dug up my old radio and plugged it in.

Then I found out that ConEd and Mayer doesn't know when it will be up and running with power. Astoria is suffering for 4 days without any power, people are angry like a mob. You will be when the heatwave comes, and free ice which is provided by ConEd is half melted on your way home. Subway is not running as much as usual to save energy. Our phone service is down as well, my phone died yesterday. Louis is trying to recreate candle now from wax. He is afraid of darkness, who isn't? It felt like we were back in time where candle was the only light source. We sure had a candle light dinner. -j.
