Earthquakes and Reality TV Celebs
I felt my first earthquake yesterday. It was a 2.9 and about 2 miles Southeast of Berkeley, so not very exciting. Except that it kind of was. I felt our apartment building shake a little and it sounded like something exploded outside.
Leon also felt an earthquake yesterday, but his was earlier in the day and farther away. Actually, he didn't even feel it. He just saw the blinds shake and checked online if it had been a quake, which, obviously it was.
According to some little map/graph online, the chance of this area being hit with another earthquake soon has increased dramatically, and I'm a teensy bit scared that something traumatic is going to happen. I don't actually think there will be a huge earthquake any time soon, but I do worry somewhat about things that could kill me before I'm ready. Like electrical storms. Or Ephedrine.
Anyway, tonight we are going to watch "Beauty and the Geek" with Ankur. He's been hosting parties throughout the show's run, but we haven't gone to any of them, partially because some of them were hosted during the repeat Wednesday broadcast, partially because the parties were co-hosted by the sister of another one of the "Geek" contestants whom we didn't know, and partially because TiVo allows me to watch an hour-long program in about 45 minutes, whereas going elsewhere to watch the show would turn it into at least a 90-minute ordeal. I tend not to be a fan of ordeals.
But this will be one of our last opportunities to watch the show with Ankur--we're down to just three teams, as I'm sure you all know. And he is still a contender! So, obviously, he has a decent chance to win this thing. Go him!
I also met him for the first time about six weeks ago and there are photos from that evening, but they haven't made it online yet (and supposedly are really blurry), so no posting them yet. But he seems like a really awesome guy.
