Fire + outlet + cable modem = bad

So.. I was surfing the web on Saturday night, when my connection to the internet suddenly disconnected. The error message said my network connection was terminated so I went to go look at my cables and the modem.

What do I see when I look at the power outlet? A burn pattern on the wall and a totally melted plug. Scary stuff.

Anyway, I have been without internet since then. The cable people are coming tomorrow, to replace the modem and cable, so once I have that back there will be lots of bloggy goodness. I promise.
