summer storms
So we had a crazy storm here in Maryland on Friday night. My apartment, thank goodness, did not lose power. Guess that's one of the plus sides of living in a giant concrete box. My parents, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
faeriesfolly, and most of my county, however, was not as lucky. I went to work on Saturday only to find out the library was out of power. I had some personal leave sitting around though, so I took that and went home for the day because figuring out what branches *did* have power was kind of tricky. I know at least 3 were out. I'm wondering if BGE hasnt' managed to get all the residential customers online if they have even bothers with the commercial customers.
My mom texted me at 10pm to tell me it was now officially hotter in their basement than outside. I bet they've never looked forward to going to work so much before.
On the fun side,maybedeadcat, lostacanthus, Mathew, and I went down to D.C. today to check out the Art of Video Games exhibit. The exhibit itself was epic fail. They confused "art" and "history" and instead just had on display all the different consoles with images of the top 4 games from each, voted on by the Internetz. I really wanted to see some ART from VIDEO GAMES! *sigh* But it led to some great conversation between the 4 of us about games, gaming, art, and just how much we love that genre. So I will give them that.
maybedeadcat & I played a bit more Lego Harry Potter too. Finally unlocked and EVIL character (Barty "David Tennant in Lego form" Crouch Jr.) so we can *finally* blow up all the red glowing things which are hiding the last pieces of all the house crests and characters. SOON WE WILL HAVE 100% !!!! (well...maybe not soon...but def. before the Lord of the Rings game comes out).
Speaking of games, I want to play a bit of Skyrim before bedtime. Listening tomaybedeadcat and lostacanthus discuss their playthroughs gave me an itch to play. (Of course, yesterday faeriesfolly reminded me about the DLC for DragonAge II I with Felicia Day and I may have gotten a little too excited about romancing her. I need to finish my second playthrough of that too...
