Spiraling Chunky Stupidity

So I’m working on the SEVEN documents I have to send to Columbia to complete my registration in their “pre-law” (?) advising program (which I already did back in Fall 2002!), and the power keeps going out. No problem, the internet is down, and it’s dark, but my laptop still works and I can finish working on the documents, which I’ve now finished.

Here is where the escalating and shocking levels of absentmindedness begin:

I am feeling bored and think: “Whatever, I’ll wait-out the blackout and just watch some tv” *VC pushes repeatedly and with evident frustration the television switch, wondering why it’s not working*

Ready to complain to the guesthouse staff that NOT ONLY is the power out but my tv isn’t working, either, I realized how dumb I was to not forsee that the tv (duh) needed power.

Laughing at my own stupidity, I then think: "I have to blog about how funny I was to think my tv was broken because it had no power," and when I go to post the blog, I (again being oblivious to the implications of POWER OUTAGE) was puzzled by the internet not working.

You’d think I’d be capable of staying focused enough for 3 minutes to not try again and again to use things that require power, being fully aware that we have none right now, but apparently I am not.

Ok, power back on. Ready to post.
