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

I find it charming that a couple of my neighbors have taken to calling me for distraction/support when having awful commutes home. Just talked one down after watching the car ahead do a 360 and crash into the rail on one of the scary overpasses into downtown.

Should be - Christchurch is on a very volatile plate right now. Auckland's a couple hours' flight north, and, I think, more prone to volcanos than earthquakes. I could be wrong. I've dropped a line to them and to the people we met from Christchurch. Hopefully they're ok.
Thanks for asking JZ.

Loki wanted out. He dug in the snow and lasted 30 seconds before he was digging at the door. The whole house hates snow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am starting to get a little afraid of the end of the world...

For some reason, I dreamed last night that there was a Hollaback-Congress. I'm not convinced that HuffPo qualifies.

I'm so sorry to hear about Christchurch. It's certainly unusual that there'd been a 7.1 back in September, with little loss of life. This one was in broad daylight, so more people out for things to fall on, but it seems to have been more along a "New Madrid" extended rumbler that started liquefying buildings that stood up well in the previous big one.
