Well, nothing broke, and I am quick like a bunny at jumping under my desk. The USGS says it was a 5.4, which isn't that big, but enough to make me feel a little wonky afterwards. I don't remember ever feeling seasick after any other big earthquakes of my youth, but maybe I am just getting old. Whatever.
Also I dropped a can on my little toe, which, as it turns out, was a more major injury than anything I sustained in the actual earthquake. (To be clear, the only thing that happened after I stopped the swaying light fixture at work was that no one's mobile phone worked. Yay cell phones!)
In other news, I think I have started dreaming TV pilot ideas. Somehow I had this long involved dream that struck me as a great and original idea for a pilot, with a built in fan base. Hmmm... If only I had time or inclination to write for television. Is there a way to sell your ideas without actually having to write something, other than a pitch? Because I think I could do that part. Oh, I am not sharing it here, sorry... Maybe someday times will get desperate and I will be forced to try to write the damn thing. It would be good though, I know that.
See there's this dog, but he talks like Chris Rock and his owner is white.
Comedy ensues.
I'm kidding, that's not it. But if I see the Chris Rock is a funny talking mutt show next spring, I'm coming after you.

I think I'm beginning to miss earthquakes. How silly is that? Funny that no ones cell phones worked, I wonder if a tower fell or something. Aunt Carrie's koi got sloshed, Jill's water heater split in two, and Donna had a bunch of stuff fall and break. Donna's only 4-5 miles from the epicenter though, so I guess it's not that surprising. What was surprising was that it was all over the news, even up here. A bunch of gals on The Village Green heard news reports to in AR and DC. Crazy, huh? Must have been a slow news day across the nation. You felt seasick because this was your first pregnant earthquake, not because you're getting old, silly!
I of course meant 'too' not 'to'.
I guess, huh. Of course, in my house it would be hard to tell if something was on the floor that wasn't already on the floor, since EVERYTHING is on the floor.
