SPECTRE. Special Executive for Counter Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, Extortion. The four great cornerstones of power headed by the greatest brains in the world

last night i suffered from the Great Blackout 2003!! is that what they are calling it? what did they call it? i didn’t bother to really pay attention. i’ll call it The Extended Period of Time without Electricity 2003! because, it’s possible that the origin of the EPOTWE 2003, for me, was different. i, for one, think it was indeed terrorist activity. [ok, i know i said i didn’t pay attention to the blackout, but how come they can know FOR SURE that it’s not a terrorist attack, and yet not know what caused it? “oh, we don’t know why it happened, but we KNOW it wasn’t terrorists!!” just curious] anyway, the terrorist group responsible for the EPOTWE 2003 is known as the PSE. Puget Sound Electricity… i think. i was the victim of their GUERILLA WARFARE tactics because i FAILED TO COMPLY with their payment demands. they wanted my complete and abject loyalty and obedience. and anyone who knows me, knows i don’t hang with terrorists. i mean… look at me and the IRS… we are still at war. so basically, my way of thinking, i would respond to their demands when i was good and ready, or i remembered… whichever came last.
well, their EXTORTION METHODS are many, and they are painful, people. i came home to absolute silence. and darkness. except for the fact that the sun was still out. but OTHER THAN THAT. it was pretty dang dim. so i called them up and i said, “fine. here. take your measly $126 and stuff it up your power cord!” i was told that they worked until 9, and my power should be turned back on tonight.
never have felt so isolated. so cut off. why… it seemed like only moments ago i was in the car… with a/c… and music. and now i was plunged into a dark tunnel of loneliness. i flopped down on the bed, lying on my back, arms and legs stretched out.
“this is boring,” i said to pru.
“tell me something i don’t know,” she said, taking a moment to stretch herself out on the window sill,
“alright! did you know that there actually is no such animal as a panther, in so far as…”
“YES!! i do know. you told me all about it. panthera is a genus blah blah blah. i am a cat you know.”
“ooooooo-kay. i’m going to the movies.”
“fine. go. give me a kiss goodbye before you go.” *kiss* ” THANK YOU!”
so i spent $8.25 of my hardly earned money and went to see tomb raider. which i enjoyed very much because a: i like treasure hunt adventures, b: i like it when girls kick ass and c: i like angelina jolie, now that she’s not hooked up with billy bob. they were weird together. it creeped me out.
when i got home, after 10 pm my power was NOT on. so pru and i played with flashlights, and then i went to bed. i was certain i would not be able to sleep, as it was too quiet and the air was too still without the fans. in fact, i was giving myself 20 more minutes before i gave up and went to the 24 hour walgreens to wander about, when i fell asleep. woke up at 4:50 am. i was going to come into work at 6, but like i told evildeb, lying in bed and staring at the ceiling is infinitely more interesting in the early morning, than it is in the early evening. i came in at 7:30.
i’m still ashamed of giving in to the the PSE’s terrorist methods. but i hope my power is on when i get home. now i have to through away everything in my fridge. not an entirely bad idea anyway. i just hope my thomas kemper grape soda doesn’t spoil.
