quake!
I was sitting at my computer tonight playing Everquest 2 and suddenly I was thrust into a life and death, fight for survival mildly entertaining experience.
It all began with the room shaking...
We both agreed that it had to be an earthquake! We both called our respective TV stations and they both said that phone calls were flooding in. [Although her meteorologist thought she was crazy, but later made a funny on-air apology]
So, I jumped over to the internet and dialed up the USGS data. [I had a lot of practice after all the Mt. Saint Helens coverage I did earlier this year].
And they had the latest info posted:
And, moments later...BREAKING NEWS!!!:
Okay, so it wasn't a great big earth shattering event, but it was a fun little diversion for a Thursday night. And, I'm considering getting a pet now because that would've been kinda cool to see it freaking out before the earthquake - although as soon as I got a puppy, I'm certain that there would never be another earthquake here ever again.
Hmm. I wonder what news story I'll be covering tomorrow...

Obviously the quake wasn't big enough. Your tv tray was still standing.
Great place by the way: great windows, cool deconstructionism style walls and ceiling, but that tv tray has got to go.
You guys weren't called into work were you??
Look. I'm not Freud or anything, but I don't have to be to pick up the subliminal messages in your posts. Your last one mentioned HALO, and this one went so far as to be titled QUAKE. It's about a situation that is normally UNREAL for SC, that no doubt put you in impending DOOM. I'm offically worried, my friend. Put down the shooters and grab a round or two of tetris.
What does Kyann do? ND of the CBS or ABC affiliate or what?
