Eeek, earthquake!

This morning, a little after 4 a.m., I woke up feeling the bed shake a little bit and hearing the windows rattle. It lasted only a few seconds. I wondered if I had just been dreaming or if it was all in my head, so I just went back to sleep. I turn on the news later on after I got up and sure enough, it was an earthquake. It was a wimpy one, a 5.0 with a 2.4 aftershock, but when you're not used to that sort of thing, it is a bit freaky. Hopefully it's not a foreshock to a bigger quake :-0.

American Idol and band meme

Man, was Constantine smokin' or what? If he keeps it up, he will win this competition. Poor Scott, having to sing Hall and Oates with Hall and Oates sitting right there. But after a shaky start, he delivered in the end. I'm not sure what to think of Carrie oversinging "Love Is A Battlefield." Yikes! But she'll be safe. Anthony did quite well and despite what the judges said, I thought Bo did well too. Once again, Anwar was way overrated. Come on, judges! Vonzell did a great job but she doesn't have Constantine's charisma. I agree with Simon...Nadia is about to get the boot. I predict Scott and Anwar will round out the bottom three.

Now, the meme from persephones_rev:
