So for no other reason than the fact that my life in Vancouver is cursed, I lost power to all the outlets in my living room.

Solution?

We (my mom and I) went out and bought a super-long extension cord, hooked it into the single working outlet in the main room, and from it constructed a fun tangle of extreme fire-hazard proportions.

And we bought a router, so now everything that is able to access the internet is ABLE to access the internet.

Fun times.
