1) The earthquake made everything that much more "djisofjseirewaELM!????" but yeah, everything turned out totally fine where I was! Which was at Katie's place - absolutely nothing different from any other bad storm - we stayed inside and didn't notice. It got stuffy from having all the windows closed but that was it! My parents were without power for a couple days (some people still are. DX) and when I got back to my apartment I found my windows had leaked a little so a few pillows and things that were by the windows are a bit smelly and awful now - but nothing too dear.
It was exhausting, though! Even without anything happening! I think the stress of the whole thing.
2) Hahahaaa oh god I'm still so embarrassed about that! And more embarrassed that I never responded to her nice comment but I COULDN'T. It's. . . it's still here: http://guingel.livejournal.com/330288.html
3) Yup! There's like... 128 players entered (each, in the men's and women's competition, plus men's, women's and mixed doubles) so at the start of the tournament there's action on about 15 courts. But each major tournament has 3-4 "stadium courts" so by the end of the event pretty much all the matches are happening on those.
You know, I went to the US Open last year when I'd only been a tennis fan for two and a half months, so I probably saw it physically before I ever saw it on TV! It was fun seeing the little camera dolly overhead though! I hope I was in some crowd shots, looking happy. :)
