It gets worse If not having heat was bad enough, my roommate called me this afternoon to inform me that our electricity went out. To add to the irony, I received the "nothing works in our apartment including the refrigerator" call as I was waiting for my ride to the grocery store.This rain is really making its presence felt. Just about every building I go into there's a bucket or two at random spots on the floor collecting leaky roof water. And it's become too much for the side walks and streets too as puddles are everywhere. It's obvious that this place wasn't designed for this much water: there are entire sections of sidewalks under water. Being that I walk everywhere and do so mostly at night, I've learned about more than a few of these puddles the hard way :/ What really astonishes me is the fact that I've been through some pretty bad winters - tons of snow, sub-zero temperatures, freezing rain, yada yada - but not one of them has effected me as much as this Los Angeles one has. Let me stop bitchin' though, at least there's no mud sliding into our apartment, and our street is still usable (more than you can say for some parts of the city). And my problems pale in comparison to the tsunami victims. I think I speak for all of us though when I say I'll be glad when it's over.
