Whole house just shook, apparently the television studios in D.C. felt it too. What the fuck.

Wow, it was 3.7'er about two miles from my house. I just felt an aftershock a couple of minutes ago. Wild.

I planted this idea in Willco's mind.

Don't you live in Landover or some place stupid? That's pretty far away.

The whole second floor shook here; it was pretty wild. Cute, little aftershock as well. I was unaware that there was a fault line so nearby. Disposable White Guy was sitting on top of it according to the map. I'm surprised he's not awake.

I'm kind of interested what caused it. I didn't think I lived on or near a fault line.

I live right outside of Washington right now, in a suburb. That was right at the epicenter of this thing.

... but like I said, there's no fault line here. I thought we were getting a quake from one of the fault lines from Virginia, so I have no idea what caused the Earth to rattle.

What the fuck?  Weren't you in California working on The Projectionist?  Since when are you in Washington D.C.?

I didn't even know the East Coast /could/ have earthquakes. More likely just some flatulent politicians.

This is actually the biggest earthquake in the region since they started keeping tabs in 1974. It is pretty wild. I looked at Google Maps, and the epicenter is literally on the same street that Disposable White Guy lives off of. :lol

The production office and my work office is in Los Angeles, but I don't have to be. I prefer the East Coast. I've actually been on the road for the past month, first to the Midwest and then up to New Jersey/Connecticut working on a something with a pal. I just got back to the D.C. metro area a few days ago. I fly out to Los Angeles when I have to, which depending on whether or not I finish these pages, might be sooner than later.

I'd like to avoid Los Angeles until after August, which is my vacation to North Carolina.

The only explanation is that DWG opened a door to Hell in his basement.

I slept through the whole thing.  So did my kid.  Further proof that Willco's just an oversensitive pantywaist.

A cunning alibi, but it won't matter once the demons are released.

Was awake when it hit.  I was all "wtf, earthquakes aren't our department!"  Keep it where it belongs, Earth.

It's probably because Obama is letting gays get married and have abortions and no guns or something.
