Still Have No Power, Enjoy This In the Meantime

I still have no power at my house, and I don't have time to write an update here at work on my lunch break. So, please enjoy this and maybe, maybe, I'll finally have power soon. Don't get me wrong, it's cool to live in the 17th century, lighting candles around the house and using flashlights* to move from room to room and all, but...yeah. #firstworldproblems*

*Flashlights? In the 17th Cenutry? Well, this is like, uh, a futuristic 17th century world...or something.
*Yeah, I just hashtagged this post.

Yeah, There's A Hurricane Coming. Can We Stop Talking About It?

"Come on Irene..."

If you're situated somewhere along the east coast that isn't typically hurricane territory (like here in Maryland), then you've probably been either A) talking a lot about Hurricane Irene or B) are tired of people talking about Hurricane Irene. She really is the talk of the town around these parts because usually the biggest threat we face is a snowstorm. Naturally, people are worried (or just straight up freaking out) about the impending storm because, well, most of us haven't really had to deal with a severe hurricane before. But It's the weekend -- who wants to think about a destructive storm on the weekend? Not Loverboy, they worked for this weekend, and so did you and I.

So, in honor of Hurricane Irene, here are a few songs that come to mind upon the mention of "hurricane" or "rain"; songs that really have nothing to do with weather. METAPHORS.
