So, Monday was a long day. I felt icky almost all day and once I picked Leah up from work, had some Pho Citi and had a minor breakdown, mentally, myself, Leah and her mom went to the Urgest Care where her mom works. Sat around for almost two hours before getting into an exam room, then sitting for 30 minutes waiting for the doctor. Found out, as I had suspected, that I have an ear infection and a sinus infection! So I got my 10-day scrip for some Amoxicillin, and I will be all better.
Anyways, we get home and I look at Twitter, and there are all these people tweeting on how SoCal has an EARTHQUAKE WARNING and that in the next few days we are gonna get hit with a 6.0-7.0 quake. Two things:
- Do these people seriously believe we have somehow managed to predict the exact dates, times, locations and magnitude of earthquakes?!
- The starter of this whole.. well, hoax.. has started others of this same strain. Not once has his "prediction" come true, and he has been announced as a quack.
So I spent about 3 hours reading tweets of scared people, laughing. I laughed harder when Justin Bieber tweeted about maple syrup and that passes EARTHQUAKE WARNING on the trending topics. So my theory is that to get people to shut up about this whole thing is to have The Biebs say it was a hoax. Everyone listens to that adorable little lesbian, and I love it.
