"Yeah, ayn't it hawt to-daye?"

I've yet to get fully used to the accent, but I think it's lovely.

What is less lovely, of course, is the absence of electricity. Kentucky Utilities decided to cut off power to my apartment the day before yesterday. Apparently, power gets cut off when you don't pay your bills. Which was the case in my apartment, since the previous tenant had moved out. Donc, n'il y a pas de électricité dans l'appartement.

You never realize how much you depend on electromagnetic waves, until it's gone. And, without a car, I couldn't even escape. So it was a warm, dark night and a cold, cold shower.

On the bright side, I discovered a drugstore within biking distance. So now I've upgraded my diet from ham and cheese sandwiches (which died in the refrigerator sans power) to instant noodles and canned sardines. Dining in style, as always.
