I finally bought a UMD. I know, I know. Quit cursing my name. It was used, so quit your fretting. Sony isn’t clapping their hands, getting my monies. These monies went right to GameStop.

Anyway, a couple weeks ago I picked up Napoleon Dynamite on UMD. It’s an easy movie to pick up and put down at the drop of a hat. The movie is also hilarious.

I hadn’t gotten around to watching it on UMD yet. I was saving it for a trip or some other situation. When all of a sudden, something that other situation came up. The straight line winds and the biggest Minnesota power outage in 5 years.

There sat my PSP, fully charged and ready to go. We leaped into action.

First, I used the menu screen of my PSP to find a flashlight. You see, I had just moved. And my flashlight was packed away in a box somewhere. But the wonderful screen of the PSP lit my way. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of boxes packed with miscellaneous items.

Having finally found my flashlight, I found my way to the fridge. Those beers were going to get warm. They had to be consumed.

So finally, with beer in hand, I sat down to a personal showing of Napoleon Dynamite.

Granted, that didn’t sustain me for 3 days of no power. But that first evening was made livable by my PSP. The PSP should be in everyone’s tool belt.
