Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sweet!

Man, I wish my building had a cast-off books shelf.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Suela, it looks like a quake. Magnitude 3.7. You okay? Other Bay Area-istas?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Felt like a car thumped into the house. I bet, without checking, that it was on the Hayward Fault.

Lemme see.

Yup. Hayward Fault, which is less than a mile from me. That was the biggest one I've felt since I moved to California...

Our wings are not tired.

Freaky. Can't say that I would like the whole earth moving under my feet thing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wrod. Give me Acts of God that Al Roker can warn me about.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Felt nothing a-tall in SF. Still prefer the occasional random quake to guaranteed yearly tornadoes/flooding/whatnot.

Really, we can at least prepare in advance and stock up for hurricane parties and such.

Can't say that I would like the whole earth moving under my feet thing.

You know that's happening all the time, right?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

So this package came to my dad today from UPS. I was watching Pirates with my mom, and he bursts into the room to show me a signed cast pic of the cast of 24, and a script signed by Fury and Keifer.

He's all bouncy and happy, "Are these autographs real, Al?"

"Yeah, Dad."

"NO WAY! Do you know Jack Bauer? This is my favorite show! You know these guys?"

Fury attached a note: "Dear Mr. Beatrice, I heard you're a big fan of 24. Well, I'm a big fan of your daughter's."

My dad was weirdly proud by that, unsure why. But he was all beaming.

He's taking it all to work with him to show off, and my mom is having the stuff framed for him.

The old man was giddy, I tells ya.

Huh, there was a quake of the same magnitude in northern Utah today.

Considering the entire valley would turn to a big bowl of oatmeal in a big enough earthquake, I'm all for small earthquakes on a regular basis to bleed off the pressure.
