Yikes!

I was blogging when it happened. The earthquake.

The floor started to jiggle, windows made scary creaky noises, the glass doors of my bookshelf flung themselves open and figurines toppled on top of one another. I have to admit, i don't like it when the earth quivers. I mean come on, something must stay still, right? Anyway, i thought i should do something, like stand against a nice still structure, or dart underneath my table, but instead i went into my kitchen! I dunno why, possibly because the animated bookshelf scared me, and i had nowhere to go. Then, about a few seconds later, i realized i must protect my laptop, so i mustered up some courage (usually i am transfixed during the shakes) and closed my comp. :)

Huh! But on the flip side, i heard that some seismographic study groups would take advantage of this one to usher their earthquake (The big one) awareness campaign this year. So i guess someone is happy.

I thought i should be with people and thus went to school. There i found that my new office was already cleaned and painted! Unbelievable! I called yesterday to make sure that it happens by 31st. Our (rightfully) shocked secretary said, "This is a first, Dr. X!" Now i am strongly suspecting that someone over there has a crush on me. It is either that or my name carries more weight than i thought. haha.

Well, since life can be so unpredictably topsy-turvy, i wanted to balance it by something predictably sweet. By that i mean, young coconuts. So i went to Whole Foods. Oh! I found a bobbing baby on a cart and he was oh-so cute! I found him again upstairs, and this time he noticed me and gave the most beautiful toothless smile. My knees buckled almost. I waved at him and he kept smiling. Next i went into some stacked boxes as i steered my cart while looking backward. Eeeks! Oh man! I need a baby. Je pense. Que dites-vous, monsieur jones? :-P
