I just hear from Aran that his 48 hour film, Inside Me which I blogged about the day before yesterday won an award for best use of the line of dialogue: “What would Elvis do?”
Time to get that WWED tatoo.

Owl Attack
Current mood: Owl-bitten
Last night I dreamed that I was walking in the dark, and I was attacked and bitten by a rather large owl. I had to fight it off with my bare hands.I’m not sure what it means…
Other than that I now suffer from Strigidaephobia…
I’m pretty sure that if you were to walk up to me and hit me in the face with an owl, I would scream like a little girl. Yep, that’s how bad it is.

Good News!
Current mood: vindicated
Good news! The earthquake I mentioned the other day came and went, and thankfully it was a very very small one!
The US Geological service has a page about it here:
A microearthquake occurred at 11:08:23 AM (PDT) on Friday, June 9, 2006.
The magnitude 1.0 event occurred 4 km (2 miles) NW of Cabazon, CA.
The hypocentral depth is 18 km (11 miles).By interesting coincidence, this earthquake occured on the grounds of Morongo Indian Reservation, so since we have now established that I have psychic powers to see the future, I ought to go to their Casino and see if I can clean up on the roulette wheel.

Earthquake Preparedness
Current mood: disclairvoyant
According to my calendar, there is an earthquake scheduled for 11:00 pacific time tomorrow, Friday June 9th. I’m not sure where exactly, or whether it will be a big one or a small one, but that is when it is supposed to happen. It is kinda unusual to be given advance warning of these things, but you should definitely take this last minute opportunity to prepare yourself. The Los Angeles Fire Department has a great website about earthquake preparedness.
You know, it is amazing. I had something like five full months of advanced notice about this earthquake, and it is only today, less than 26 hours before the quake that I bother to think about it. I don’t even have a full quake kit at home (although fortunately, I do happen to already own most of the stuff on this list) I guess it is contrary to my nature to pay heed to the oracle.
Here is hoping the damage is minimal! -
We are the sum of our memories
Current mood: Far Away
I found an origami rose.
And because it was so beautiful,
I lifted it close to my lips to smell it.
And I saw that there was writing on it.
And I began to unfold it and read it.
And as it unfolded it became a book.Who are we?
We are the sum of our memories.
How do we share our memories?
Through the sound of her voice?
Through the touch of her skin as we make new memories?I went today and walked alone in her memories
And alone I could not understand them.
The places where she walked and laughed and lived,
offered to me only the faintest whisper of her memories.I long for her. To know who she truly is.
As I read the pages fall away,
like rose petals.
But for each page I read, a new one is written.
And with time,
the reader and the story will become one.
And the book will never have to end. -
KITTENS!
Current mood: kittenified
So I got to work this morning, and I was on my way upstairs, and one of my co-workers comes after me saying “Hey! Big James! I need to talk to you!”, And of course I expected a computer question, but instead he says “You like cats?” and he shows me this box with 4 little kittens in it.
I made the mistake of picking one up and holding it and bonding with it, which made it all the more painful that I can’t take it home.So if any of my friends in southern California needs a small soft fuzzy mewling ball of PURE LOVE, tell me double-quick and I can put you in contact with Fred. Hurry, before they all go to some random stranger in the super-market parking-lot!
