Shake'n'bake!

[gategrrl]

At 11 :45am (give or take) the house started shaking, and Mermaid, Little Guy, Mermaid's tutor, me, and the dog, raced outside once we realized that the shaking wasn't stopping like it usually does. It was loud, I could see the roof above me moving, but nothing fell off shelves and no one else in the neighborhood ran out of their house except our immediate neighbor.

Other than that scare, and the fact the telephones and cell phones were out for about 10-15 minutes, that was it.

Makes me glad my house sits on a concrete slab that rides the earth like a surfboard.

And now the Guy is watching Stargate: Continuum on Blu-ray on the PS3.  :::rolls eyes:::  I've no interest in watching it.

Congratulations on surviving the earthquake with no damage

I watched SG Continuum this morning -- based on what I know about your preferences, yeah, you're probably happier not seeing it.

And by the way, I mean spoilers for you a well, gategrrl... several traumatic things happen in this teleplay.










But, on the other hand, while Sam gets a "grieving" scene that is frankly ludicrous under the circumstances, while Daniel, the "so-called" nearest thing to a best friend" gets absolutely squat (not suprising, I know) - overall, it wasn't horrible. Not logically consisent with previously established physics, but not oompletely horrendous (OK, parts were completely horrendous - and I am very sure that an F-16 carries nothing like that much fuel -- but it had it's moments.

Hey, I'm used to the Star Trek fandom - reset buttons are the norm, god help us all.
