You know you've been spending too much time on fannish things when your immediate response to this is "Ahh! Sam! What are you doing?!" and it takes a while before it occurs to you, "Wait, I mean Rob. Rob! What are you doing?!"

Still, I can't think of a more fitting situation in which to make a fiction vs. reality slip like that. This whole California debacle could easily be blamed on untalented writers or pressure from the network, and I wouldn't blink. It would make so much sense.

And earthquakes really are fun.

I was in three earthquakes in the year and a half I was there. The first two struck late at night and were fairly mild; I actually slept through one of them. The third hit while I was watching a San Jose Sharks game on TV and damn near rattled me off the couch, but play didn't even stop at the game. When asked about it later, one of the opposing team players (think it was Forsberg) said, "Well, the puck was already bouncing, so we didn't even notice." ::G::

Being from Florida, I'd much rather deal with a hurricane than an earthquake. You get fair warning with a hurricane, and can pack up and leave before it hits. Earthquakes strike without warning and there's not a blessed thing you can do but hang on. All a matter of what you're used to, I suppose.
