I wanna wear a tie as a bandanna and kill Piggy on Mission Streeet!


*and actually I lied**, I don't have any of that stuff. Partly because I'm lazy, partly because I'm confident that my life will continue to be extremely boring, and partly because if there is a giant civilization disrupting disaster it sounds more fun to greet it underprepared.


** actually, I lied about lying. We do have an earthquake kit in the closet and the trunk of the car***. However, they were bought in 2002 so I suspect they aren't as useful as they once might have been.

*** actually, I kind of lied about that too. Lani thinks we have one in the car, but earlier this year I was cleaning the car and got annoyed at that thing always being in the way so I tossed it****. So if she is driving alone and drives off an embankment in the middle of nowhere, breaking both legs and unable to walk but dies of thirst after dragging herself to the trunk, don't tell her.

**** yeah, a bit of a fib. I just moved it to the closet with the other one. But the point is, it's not in the car.

The point is, I get the chance to prepare when I know it's coming rather than for something I have no idea when it's coming.

Oh, and thanks for not raking me over the coals for my use of "effected"
