Nothing's broken here, though a couple of things fell off of shelves.
It's next to impossible to get cell phone calls or text messages to go through right now.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I forgot my mobile at home today. I hope my Mom isn't freaking. I did send off an email immediately.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Brit import here "hid" under his desk. He'll be hearing about that for a while.

The status is NOT quo.
ita, I estimated about 15 seconds, too. I'm such an New Englander that I thought it was a big truck going by at first...until everything in the room started shaking and swaying and my cats went flying away. I failed the earthquake safety test. I just sat here stupidly, and by the time my brain recognized that I should be in a doorway or under something, it was too late. D'oh! At least I feel like I've learned my lesson and will do it next time.

I just read in someone's LJ that it was felt in San Diego too.

Everyone okay? LAistas, check in! Stephen just came up to tell me about the earthquake.

I think most of us have checked in. I'm waiting to hear back from non-Buffista friends at this point.
