i woke up this morning to the sound of a transformer blowing up, somewhere in the neighborhood. all the power in my apartment and all down my block was out. living on the third floor, this presented a bit of a problem, since i live and die by my air conditioner. it's already been acting up, lately, so this scenario was making it just that tiny bit worse. i went down front to see if anyone else was out trying to figure out what the problem was. i ran into our downstairs neighbor. he, like myself, was none too pleased. he said he'd call lg&e (the local electric company, for you non-louisvillians) and that was that. i quickly shuffled my ass back to bed.

i was kicked from sweet sleep again around noon, when the power actually came back on. my beautiful air conditioner roared back to life, resuming it's normal schedule of only passably cooling my room. i couldn't resist the temptation to sleep for another hour or so…

and now i'm back to watching the sopranos. i'm now into season two. i finished the first season in just over two days. i'm hoping to pace myself with this new box set…the third season doesn't come out on dvd for another month or so.

today is the weekly cookout/kickball game. my cousin steve is supposed to join us, this week. he's been saying he will for a couple of weeks now, but i think he might make it, this week. we actually ended up hanging out friday night, which was cool. he came over and we drank a lot on the back deck, making an evening of it. we got tired of sitting around and opted to head down to the well and cahoots. it was a great evening for a walk, so i was a lot of fun. we ended up spending most of the night talking about movies.

i didn't do much of note, yesterday, except for hanging out with matt and paul. we had lunch at popeye's, eschewing our normal kfc. i was skeptical, but ended up walking away impressed. and full.

time to watch another episode of sopranos before kickball…
