Being without power sucks.

Well, technically we do have power, it’s just a question of how much. The technical term is a brownout, in this case we’re guessing we have around 50% of the normal amount of electricity flowing into the Crashaus. Of course while this reduced state of energy lets us run dim lights, it unfortunately is not providing the necessary voltage to start our furnace.

Thus, sweatshirts. Sweatshirts and blankets.

Of course of an even more serious nature is the intermittent lack of internet service. The icy grip of winter seeping in through the walls? That’s tolerable. Being unable to check gmail or get on Xbox Live?

Insufferable.
