Ah, electricity.

On a regular day at 4 PM I would be coming home from work on the bus, probably reading, waiting to go home and sleep. Nothing to do with electricity.

But! Yesterday at 4:11 Heidi, Megan, Gerrad, Mike J. and I are instead sitting in 5 race cars completing our first lap. I was totally kicking ass too. When. Phrohmmmmmm. Power out. We had just gotten to Playdium five minutes earlier and were playing our first game. As soon as the power went out I look at Heidi, she looks at me. We burst out laughing. Ah, so great. ^___^

So we're ushered out of Playdium trying to take a few drags of air conditioned air before being plunged into the world of heat. Or as the locals were calling it "outside". We waited around for awhile Playdium, waiting for the power to go back on. When somehow (I'm a little shaky on the specifics) we came to realize that it wasn't just Playdium and Square 1 but like Southern Ontario...and then Heidi found out it was New York too...and then it started to get a little "wowish".

We went to the mall about then to try to soak up some air conditioning and go looting (Gerrad was to hit Radio Shack and HMV, I was going for the Disney store meself). We lingered in the halls, documented the event, contemplated throwing Gerrad's cast through the glass doors and eventually decided (much to the urging of the man on the PA) to leave. We sat on the curb for awhile, marveling at the technology of convertibles and the beauty that is Scorpion Shards. Mike J bought us all pepsi (and I for one will love him forever for it) and we played with cell phones. Eventually we got the ingenius idea to leave and take the bus out. We bussed it and Heidi's mom came and saved us and then we were home in Brampton. Yey! Adventure? Yes. Fun? Tres yes. Memory? Always.



Good times, good times.
