Went out to dinner last night. Good dinner. Better conversation. Been a long time since I've just talked like that. Most of my conversations seem recently to revolve around problems and issues and while I don't mind that, its nice to talk about stuff once in awhile. Have those conversations about everything and nothing. Definately need to do that again and in the near future, I think. I think I'm going to be corrupted. Well, it's a bit late for that, so.... Ummmm. Something like that.

Need to go jump into more social situations and figure out my reactions.

Earthquake last night in California. 5.2

Roosevelt and Garfield (local highschools) took 1st and 2nd at a national jazz festival. Let me just take this moment to jump up and down that Roosevelt beat Garfield. Our jazz band in high school ended up being Roosevelts groupies becasue they were so cool, but they could never seem to beat Garfield. That made me happy to see.

Neither of the hockey teams I wanted to win last night did.

That's it for now.

There was an earthquake? What location specifically?
I didn't feel a thing...

Near San Jose, apparently. I was talking to a friend on-line when it happened. There is something on it on cnn.com too.

I guess it took place only 80-some miles away from me. The weird thing was, I didn't notice a thing. And it wasn't for lack of paranoia. On May 11 there was a fireworks display (I found out later) a few miles away, and it rumbled the earth and rattled the house for over half an hour. I don't know what kind of explosives they were using, but when it first started I thought it might be an earthquake and ran out of the house. Then when the ominous sound, like subterranean thunder, kept recurring in irregular spates, I suspected it was the War at last, and peered out into the darkness over the Bay to see if there signs of battle. No sign.

Then a few days later a real one, and I miss it completely. But that's okay! Quite okay. I'm happy to live on terra firma without electrical fires and falling lumber and broken glass. Bob Dole doesn't need that.

*laughs* My building at work shakes if people walk past, if there is abus that goes by, if just about anything moves. I dread the next earthquake. But really, I just don't want to be up any higher than I need to be. Last time, during the 7.0 one last year, I was on the 18th floor. Glass is not supposed to ripple like it does in the Matrix. Earthquakes by themselves don't bother me much. Earthquakes in skyscrapers do.
