    Eat, sleep, read printed material, wash with a scrub board, hang dry, light candles, run small errands to places that have power, etc.

    My house has a generator so the power never goes out.

    I continually flip the light switches.  Annoys the hell out of me.

    Sit back in my smugness because I have solar. That sort of thing used to freak me out. I've lost entire freezers of food. Things heat up so fast here. I'd spend the entire time trying to do anything but open the fridge to check the temp. lol

    We don't really have these. Hmm... I looked up some ideas though, and this one seems rather fun...

    Ice Creamocalypse

    The power's off! This means only one thing - your fridge and freezer are off too! Make your way as quickly (and safely - you don't have the sort of padding you'll probably have afterwards yet) as possible to your freezer and remove all ice cream in sight and launch yourself into it with anything you can get your hands on - forks, knives, spatulas, spades, CD cases... maybe even spoons! You'll probably have some reservations about how good for you it is but don't worry, you will be heralded as a local hero, poets will write sonnets about how you bravely put ice cream before yourself and let not one atom go to waste. People will talk for years to come of how - like the Carpathia to the Titanic - you came to the aid of ice cream in need.
