we're going to die

Shit. Reading In Shaw, I just realized that this apartment is the first place I've lived in the DC area that doesn't use natural gas for heating its air and water. Given the progressively-longer blackouts the area has faced the past couple of years (thanks to snow, hurricane remnants, badly-timed storms, and utility repairmen turning into pillars of salt), what the hell is gonna happen? I'll tell you what: the District's frozen-corpse-removal budget is going to need to account for another 400lbs or so.

In a flurry of panic, I just tried to put up the insulating plastic I bought for the windows months ago -- no dice. The windows are about an inch too big.

Sigh. I guess I'd better start on those memoirs.

Well, with the holidays/bake-off coming, better round your house off to an honest five bucks.

it'll be okay. like you said - we can just steal an oil drum from some homeless people to light fires in.

Oh Lord, please be careful with space heaters and whatnot. I don't what to read about you in the newspapers or hear Shepherd Smith breathlessly reporting over live helicopter footage of the inferno.
