Random thoughts....

- Earthquake? What earthquake? I didnt feel a thing.

I was awake and cogent at the time.. I woulda remembered.
The epicenter apparently was by Astoria, Queens.

Although New York City is all granite bedrock, there are a buncha faultlines around the New York area.. granite bedrock wont save us.

Watching the news later, the way they hyped it up (natcherally), New York is gonna be a replay of Towering Inferno if the big one hits.

Dude, chill. According to the seismologists, earthquakes around here have never exceeded 5.5 magnitude. And the last one of THOSE was in the 18th century.

Funny was this quote from the Post:

Nigel Rollings, 50, a Queens landscaper, said the jolt woke him up.

"I thought it was my Viagra kicking in," he joked. "I've never felt anything like that. It was such a loud bang. I nearly fell out of my bed."

- Its gotten cold again.

Not that bitter cold of the past few weeks, but cold.

Even a lite breeze has my scarf wrapped around my face, gloved hands in my pockets.

Right now, and all through the weekend, its a nasty mix of rain, sleet and snow.

This year, I plan on buying the whole North Face Antarctic catalog, neoprene booties included.

Still waiting on the apartment.

I need that space....

I applied for two promising looking work assignments, both freelance.

One, a short-term project management job with AOL Digital City (I wonder how it wouldve turned out had I accepted the tech producers position there back in 98), another - a photographers job with a content rich New York site.

I can definitely do both at the same time.

However, I have no intention of starving or being homeless. If I dont hear soon from either, Im going with the tech positions Ive been consciously/unconsciously delaying....

I did get a note back promptly from the New York site saying they would be in touch.

The Voice is telling me to be patient...

Its an almost scientific fact.

Having HappyCat curled up by my legs definitely put me into a sounder sleep than normal.

Although it may also have something to do with the Exchange & Outlook Magazine Id been reading at the time, and all the fun I can have with COM classes and other Visual Basic tricksssss.......

*snorf* zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

- I caught Groundhog Day on TBS this evening.

That is another flick that keeps getting better and better every time you see it.

Right now, Im feeling its message of using the time you have to become a better person.

Only now, did I notice that in the movie.. it took love to break the cycle.

Hmm.

To become a better person so that you can accept love to progress. Hm.

Ok, the dreaded event is here.

Me: HeySweetheartHowyadoinHavefuninSanFrancisco?GoodGoodEverythinggowell?GoodGood....Ubroughtthehoney?

Hmm. Maybe I should call her now....
