It's about time...

[unforth]

I think there was just an earthquake. Either that or one of my housemates was having sex enthusiastically enough to shake the entire apartment, which seems unlikely even thought it was my first thought.

And here it was looking like I was gonna get out of Tokyo without feeling one!

Hmm...then again, maybe not, I'd think this website would show it.

What the heck was that, then? It was...very shaky. And much to fast to be sex. Except maybe really, really bad sex.

lol. In the time I was writing this post, that webpage added it. So! My first earthquake! And it was a big one, cause it wasn't that close to here. (there's a map on that page)

I felt a bunch of them the first week I was in Japan in 2004 -- it was creepy! But I haven't felt many this time, knock on wood. (I do not want a concrete wall to fall on me or a gas line to blow up near me, so even if I feel a slight one, I freak out. o_o Though if time passes and nothing falls on me, I do think it is somewhat exciting.)

Those are pretty big quakes, too! I'm wondering why I'm not seeing them on NHK right now. (I looked up the Japanese seismic scale and 5.4 is up there a ways! But I wonder how far out to sea they were, and what it felt like on land in Fukushima and Miyagi.)

I think in Fukushima it must have been pretty bad, since not only was there the initial, there were all those powerful after tremors. Still, if no one got hurt and no serious damage was done...I dunno.

You're closer to the Sea of Japan side, right? I didn't think they got that many...but I don't actually know what I'm talking about, so I might be wrong. ;)

My understanding is that there are tons all the time, so I guess it's just that I'm not all that sensitive, or something. I've probably shrugged them off as being caused by other stuff when they have happened.
