    oh man i was going crazy cause i had my mac and flat screen tv shaking. so i grabbed my mac and held on to my tv and fishtank and wished it would be over. living on a 2nd story during an earthquake is way different that’s for sure!

    got some good news though!
    just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico

    Grab that mug and drag him with you! You don’t have to be totally whole body in the doorway, just most of you under it. By the by, we (I think) haven’t seen pictures of the dog, only the cat.

    This the worst fucking timing for a god damned earth quake. I was supposed to receive a fax from a crediter clearing an collections issue on my credit and he just called me from LA saying the phone lines are down and he won’t be able to send the fax for a couple days.

    I have to get that fax to the Credit Bureau ASAP because they take like 2 weeks to process it and then I have to send it to the Loan company so I can get a loan for school, and that takes time to process as well.

    Tuition is due in a month...

    Fuck me.

    The closest beach to me would be Galveston. I haven’t been there in over eight years.

    I was doing laundry so i was at the laundromat all alone drawing in my moleskine. The machines started to shake, and i figured it was normal cause sometimes dryers shake. then all of a sudden they really started to shake, it was like they were coming to life. Then the floor the table and the ceiling all went ape shit and I got up an ran out the front door. Really Fun Time.
