Earthquake?! Like...right nao?!?!
1) Earthquake? What earthquake?!
3) Helloooooooo baseball season XDXD!
c'est la vie, as they say.
7.2 earthquake struck the MexiCali area (around Southern Caliifornia/Baja California) at about 15:40ish yesteray. Didn't feel a thing -- or more like 'thought I didn't feel a thing' -- since I was working at Disney's California Adventure, behind the giant ROLLER COASTER. I was walking inside our float's warehouse, when a friend of mine jumped out of her chair yelling 'Oh hell noez!' while she ran out. I kind of followed her out, thinking she saw someone that she was gonna glomp (NEVER want to miss those moments). Then someone pointed at our crane lift that was REALLY wobbling, and then to the swaying Maliboomer tower (Disney's version of the Supreme Scream)...it takes a LOT to make that thing sway. I must've been spacing out in other galaxies, cause I didn't feel a thing (maybe subconsciously thinking it was the vibration that usually comes from the roller-coaster next door).
Anyway, all of Disneyland resort evacuated their rides and closed them off for a couple of hours for tedious inspections. Everyone I've talked to said that it was a rather strange earthquake, since it made swaying motions rather than short, jerky ones. They all mentioned thinking that they were going to pass out or faint. Hopefully, everyone was safe!

Nearly over it now, but GAWD help me! The damn thing came out of nowhere; I've been a shut-in at home what with work and paperwork. 4 days of uncontrollable coughing and hacking. And it all started with a stupid sore throat. I wasn't able to call in sick for work because I've already used up all my "sick days" without penalties. So off I went, tissue box in hand whilst driving floats XD
Even better part? My medical insurance ended the day I got sick.

3) Helloooooooo baseball season XDXD!
I don't think I've ever been so happy to see baseball on the TV. Maybe cause the 2nd season of Oofuri is on....? Kindof sad to see my perfect Angels team lineup from the previous season all butchered, but anxious to see what the newbies will bring to the table. Hideki Matsui (whom my brother affectionately nicknamed "Mat-zilla"), the new DH, is a new face to me, so I'll be very curious to see what he takes to the plate this season.
4) Hoooly Crap, here comes those damn Loan payments TT_TT(P.S. Didn't get anything from taxes this year. Joi~!!). Sat down with my financial officer, who basically gave me my reason to live off of ketchup sandwiches and instant ramen for about the next 10 years. $250 a month to pay off a $21k loan...ouch. I mean, it isn't at all bad, per se, (I AM working a decent 16-20 hours a week at $10/hr) but now that I have medical insurance, auto insurance, gas, and other menial things to pay off (since I'm out of school)...it means ZERO fun for me. The only other way I can make money on the side is by selling prints at AX, and do some commissions on the side...or picking up random shifts at work that I'll have to sweet-talk my way into.
Ah well,c'est la vie, as they say.
