This happened to me yesterday. I just went outside in the beautiful sunshine and read a book for a few hours. I try to go outside atleast a few times a week for a long walk or reading a book in the park by the stream.
I like the outdoors, I just don't like the people.
First thought when I saw the thread was "How can you type here if you have a power cut?!"
Find some friends, hang out with them, do sports, read, something like that.
It all depends on the situation. Last time there was a power cut there was a circuit failure when I was vacuuming (I live in a place where I can't fix that myself) so I washed the floor and called for someone to fix it.
If it's nice outside I will most likely take a walk. If it's October or later and it's after 6PM I will just go to sleep. There's no light to be had so I can't read and the weather wont be nice.
Yeah, I'm off the grid, with 100 percent of my power coming from solar energy, so I can weather power outages just fine. I won't have Internet, but I'll still have my other electronic distractions.
But since I'm asked to play along, I'll do that and say catch up on my sleep.
There's a power cut and it's nice out? Time to call up the friends, make a mass trip to the supermarket to stock up on unhealthy things and Mountain Dew, and then back to one of our respective homes to play D&D until the power comes back on or until tomorrow rolls around.
What do you mean power is out on handhelds? Even if my laptop, Ds, mom's DS, and GBA SP all died the GBA and original Gameboy run off batteries. I even have a light for them so I can play in the dark. Or if you don't allow that I'd go over a friends and steal their power.
During the last blackout I was sitting at my computer. When I realised that wouldn't work without electricity I went to the living room to watch some TV instead.
Surprised that it didn't work either I decided to go to bed and read. As I tried to switch on the lamp by the side of the bed it occured to me that it was also driven on electricity.
After that I just sat and waited for the power to come back on.
I require electricity for most of my instruments, but at least one of my guitars is acoustic, and I guess I could hit my drums even if they don't make a sound, so there's always that.
