So a surge protector failed hardcore yesterday afternoon during the storm. The power blinked off once. I kind of shrugged it off at first, it happens. Until I smelled burning. O.O Ran around turning things off and sniffing every room to make sure nothing was, you know, on fire. Narrowed the smell down to the livingroom and yup. The surge protector in there FAILED. The bluray player was smoking, the router and cable box refused to turn back on... wasn't until later that night Will played around and also discovered the HDMI thingy is fried and the HDMI ports on the TV are useless. Very annoying. Luckily we called Verizon fairly quickly last night and they were able to get some one out first thing this morning. So we have a router and cable box again. We can use the TV but just not the HDMI stuff so bleh. Frustrating indeed.

At the end of all that, I think I'm coming down with something. Pukey, feverish, groggy, achy, coughing. Boo! Did I get con crud without even GOING to the con?! :P
