12/23/2003: "Missed the quakin', but home safe and sound"

It's 4am, and I'm home from the three day odyssey through South California -- Carlsbad's Legoland and Anaheim's Disneyland. On the way home, around 11:15pm, I also passed through Paso Robles for Diet Pepsi to feed to by balding driver, and overheard the clerk and a guy talking about "the" quake. So, when I got here, lo and behold, there's mention of a 6.5 earthquake that struck in -- surprise -- Paso Robles.. which would also explain why all the gas stations has yellow 'caution' tape around them and non one was open to pump gas. Anyhoo; the Disneyland trip pics will be up shortly, but probably not until after I get down to see a movie tomorrow, er, later today. I'm feeling as though I'm slipping behind on my movies, given the last-minute push to release films to ensure they're in the running for the Academy Awards ("Oscars") for the 2003 calendar year.
