  ... we had a bit a power outage. Actually, it was more like a power cut really. My landlord had forgotten to pay for urlLink Hydro , for a few months it seems.
It's weird that he could forget something like that, but if you knew Norm, you wouldn't be surprised. But that's not why I'm posting this. Yesterday kinda reminded me of the " urlLink outage " we had last summer. Which in turn made me think about how I am totally dependent on urlLink electricity and how urlLink I am better prepared for no electricity than the urlLink average Torontonian , yet I'm still dependent. I find that dependency is a weird thing. Sometimes it's bad (ie: urlLink heroin , urlLink nicotine , urlLink cherry flavoured Kool-Aid ).
And sometimes it's just necessary (ie: air, water, urlLink Victoria Secret's catalogue ). But in any case it sure makes you feel like ass when you are stuck without any of them, makes you feel insecure. All this to say that the power was out in my place yesterday, and it took me most of the day to shake that weird insecurity off.
