The horror, the horror!
Vampires and werewolves are real! I want to believe.

There are currently a number of brush fires in San Diego County, but so far we’re far from them. The whole place smells like smoke, though.
Oddly enough, our phone line is dead as well, so if you’re trying to get through send e-mail instead.
UPDATE: I’ve uploaded some photos of the smoky areas near our apartment. These were all taken in the morning.
