We just had a huge power cut. So huge it knocked the entire street out.
I was upstairs at the time and all of the candles and torches are downstairs so there I was, gingerly walking down the stairs in the pitch black, gripping onto the hand rail with all my might because I couldn't see a damn thing.
I found the cupboard that has the candles and torch and started blindly groping around for a torch but couldn't bloody find one. Just as I was about to start screaming the power came back. I'm now back upstairs with the torch only a few inches away from me.
Just in case.
In other news we have snow. Not much, just an inch or so but still it's snow.
I'm not very happy as I thought that I was breaking up from work on Wednesday until January 4th but apparently I'm not. I have to work New Year's Eve (and the 30th but I can probably get out of that one) and I am not happy about this.
And congrats to Rage Against the Machine for getting the Christmas Number 1. It's quite amazing that a little Facebook campaign can result in a single that never really got anywhere in the mainstream charts selling over 500,000 copies. In LEGAL downloads.
I'm also really shocked to hear about the apparant death of Brittany Murphy. I know that the last few years haven't been kind to her and there's been some very unkind rumours about her and her husband but 32? I loved her in Clueless.
ETA - Thanks to everyone for your birthday wishes!
I've just had an email from my man in Japan to say that my Platinum Box X has arrived (wow, really early Dears!) Question is, do I ask for it to be shipped now, or wait for the Saitama DVD to be released? Ugh. Can I wait until February (or March, or April... or whenever it actually does come out)?

I think more people bought it to send a message than because they actually liked the song.

People probably did buy it for that reason...But either way, it helps to send a message to the industry giants.
