Power went out for maybe a half-hour today. Apparently, it was all over town (and lasting for a lot longer), 'cause nearly every traffic light in the neighborhood is flashing red and there's been some talk of it over it on the LJ Los Angeles Community stretching as far up as North Hollywood and as far out as Westchester. According to sources, it's also been on the news, but I haven't bothered to check yet. Yahoo appears to have the scoop, however.

As far as I can tell, Rico's still sittin' at the airport after comin' back from PDX this mornin'. Sadly, even though there's a car here, now, it doesn't have enough gas to make it to Burbank. Hell, I kept expecting the gas light to go on while driving to pick my sister up from her job.

Thanks to Nicodemus, I got the new Franz Ferdinand album, but I haven't listened to it yet. Thanks to Tetsuo, I've been made aware that there is a Japanese version of Fluxx and I intend to pass on that information to the appropriate people. At least I finally listened to last week's Left Right & Center.

I need some Zippo fluid for my Marlboro lighter.

Edit: Rico probably made it home by the time I posted that or a little after, thanks to Skaara. :)
