Snow Day

This morning I woke up humming Mariah Carey’s “Heartbreaker”. I haven’t heard that song in five years...............pfff....I dunno.

This morning the electricity was out at the hotel. While I was getting ready for work in the dark it felt a little bit like a snow day; walked around with a flashlight, checked outside to see how many inches were on the ground, subconsciously flipped the light switch in the bathroom even though I knew the power was out. When I got to the hotel lobby, the lights flickered on and everyone in the lobby cheered. Everybody needs power; the early morning businessmen who could finally have that hot cup of coffee that was essential to their day¸ the airport-bound guests who wanted to check their flight status at the hotel 'Business Center', the front desk employees who no longer had to answer to irate patrons complaining about having cold showers. I cheered as well, but for some reason at the same time my heart sank. It was the same feeling that I would get after waking up to snow on my windowsill, leaping out of bed, sprinting to the kitchen, only to hear my mom say that school wasn’t canceled.

Needless to say, school wasn’t canceled! It was a very long day at work. For the past week we have been filming at a Revolutionary War fort in Philadelphia called Fort Mifflin(in my head I call it Fort Dunder Mifflin). The highlight for me was visiting the dungeon where British soldiers were kept. It was less like a dungeon and more like a hole in the ground that tunneled into a hillside. The prisoners were kept underground for days with nothing but a 2X4 inch window for air ventilation. Ghost Hunters was there to investigate several reports of ghost sightings. I ain’t seen no floatin’ red-coats down there, but I’ll tell you that going into a pitch black underground dungeon in the dead of night will make your spine tingle a bit.

I still think the fort that I made is better.

Tomorrow is my last day of work here in Phillie. Then I will be heading to Providence for a few days to take care of some business, meet up with friends, and hold up a jewelry store. That’s all for now!
