I think that I’m on the areas worst power grid ever, because my electricity basically goes out when I sneeze. Even when I rented in N. Arlington I ended up losing power every time the wind blew. Can someone fix this (Dominion Electric?!)? I lost power for almost two days from the storm a week or two ago, and then again for a day from Monday’s storm. Luckily I didn’t have to throw away much food. This is a huge downer because everything fun in my house runs on electricity. Books are alright I guess, but Mariokart Wii is infinitely more fun.

Partly for myself for reference, but I’m sure someone out there has been looking for this…an official outages map and number of people affected straight from the horses mouth:

Harvard gets the greatest commencement speakers (if you haven’t seen Conan O’Brien’s Harvard commencement speech, check it out…). This year, JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, gave the speech. While it wasn’t with as many zingers as Conan’s, she has some great life advice…

…some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.
-JK Rowling

Bowling at Lucky Strike, originally uploaded by jchin1.

Went bowling last night at Lucky Strike. A lot of fun, but would’ve been better had they worked out their lack of AC problem.
