(no subject)
today started off pretty normal. if i'd known what was coming, i would have stayed at home.
i saw 28 weeks later only a few days ago. it wasn't as good as 28 days later, but it was ok. the zombies were less like zombies and more like... werewolves. they were fast, and violent, and they had so much blood in them...
it makes me think of shawn of the dead. the zombies in that one were slow. methodical. but they were still mean.
normally i like having the office to myself... but today, sitting alone in a big concrete room, knowing that sunset is only hours away... well, let's just say the appeal is lost in the immediate panic rush.
koji left early today. he leaves for japan tomorrow. or he's supposed to. i know he got back to the hotel ok... i got an email from him. tall buildings have to be useful right now. as for the other people who work here, i don't know where they are... i logged onto WoW to find takahiro, but he's not responding even though he's logged in. that's not unusual, but it makes me paranoid...
i can see the street if i stand up at my desk. there are cars moving, even though muni and caltrains are pretty much at a standstill. there aren't many of them here. not yet anyway. there are more populated areas of the city. i'm hearing sirens, but san francisco isn't the most efficient city, street-wise. and what happens when the orderleys get bitten?
the office across the hall shut their door about 20 minutes ago. i know they've got snacks and stuff. i've got like 20 huge arrowhead bottles of water, but not a lot of food... there's a first aid kit, but no candles or anything. hopefully the power will stay on. takahiro even has a blanket here, and there's the couch...
i love LJ. i've heard about ren, and cat and my dear meg. they're all ok. well, maybe not OK, but they're alive. if they've got it up in WA, then i can only assume it's all over the west coast. maybe even everywhere. i talked to my parents earlier... after my cousin died, i started saying "i love you" to them every time i got off the phone, because i realized we just never know when we'll talk to someone again. i'm really, really glad i said it today. in case i don't see them again.
i want to cry, but i can't. it's just not real yet. i mean, how will the newspapers handle this, should they go to press? ZOMBIE RAMPAGE - THOUSANDS DEAD - HUNDREDS TURNED MONSTER just seems so... cliche.
i wish i were surrounded by people. cat said the panic and fear was overwhelming, but that would distract me from thinking about all the people i love. there's nothing - NOTHING - i can do except wait and hope they're ok. it's killing me. there are so many things i've never said... i always figured i'd have the time...
i don't have my car. and i'm starting to hear crashes, so i'm assuming the roads are getting pretty FUBAR. i doubt i could make it to the ferry, and even if i DID, what am i gonna do, sail it myself? it's scary to think, but this office is probably one of the safest places i could be right now. i always say i love my job - well today, it may have saved my life.
there's a walgreens a block and a half away, and a safeway a block beyond that. if at any point i can get out safely, at least there's supplies close by. i'm hoping the cell phones hold out - i figure if the satellites can keep broadcasting, i might be able to get through. if i find people i trust, i might team up with them... otherwise, i'm staying here. 444 townsend st in SF - if anyone out there is close by, i've got a safe place, but i'm also willing to fight for a way out.
danny, if you read this, please take care of lara, if you can. i don't know if/when monterey will even be reachable. but i know you'll take good care of my baby.
good luck, people... we all need it.
love kittie
