YAY!

We got the power back on! And the Cable/Internet too! What a wacky day, six and a half hours ago, the lights in (only) the bedrooms and bathrooms went out which knocked out the internet too... The fridge and garbage disposal were hit too I figured out, as we tried the breakers. Turned on the TV to check it, still had a signal... Then POOF, the cable was gone... Fifteen minutes later the rest of the power in the apartment goes out. The hallways only have emergency lighting, etc. Fortunately I had called when there was still just a partial outage, so techs from both companies were already on scene. The whole complex was out. They dug up the underground cable & had tower trucks on the poles...

What a trip. Got to finally check out that Margaritas in East Hartford though - and that was great.

You can spit and hit where I work from that Margarita's.

I take it you've tried this then? :D

I was amazed at how tasty a margarita can be with one of the more expensive tequilas (S. ordered it for me when I turned a confused look his way upon being asked which tequila I wanted).

Maybe we get together and talk Serentiy over some drinks? Would you like to meet S.? (He's a haxor & photography ho; [livejournal.com profile] crabbyolbastard and I think that you'd get along, IRL)

I may have a line on someone I recently met who might want to join in on some of your games - I'm pretty sure he's into RPG's but unsure if it is specifically some type of game. (excuse my ignorance, but, D&D is an RPG, yes?) Went out to dinner with [livejournal.com profile] surelle and her s/o. The s/o is the one I'm referring to. He expressed interest when I said I knew of a few people who play around here - they are somewhat recent transplants.
