Went dancing/drinking at a Coyote Ugly-esque bar for the opening night of the big gay soccer weekend. Made out with two people (one, the girl I hooked up with earlier this summer, the other a stranger who I'll see more of this weekend, I'm sure). Off to a good start. Going to bed at a decent hour (whilst a bit drunk but not too too) so I can be up early and watch the soccer
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

I take Liefur out on a leash occasionally. I had to work up to it. We spent a few half hour sessions in the living room with him in the harness, just hanging out, then a couple of sessions just sitting around on the porch. Then he was ready to explore. There are a lot of new experiences for the cat to assimilate (being in the harness, being outside, being controlled with the leash) so it helps to work in stages.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Earthquake!?!

Yes, it set my rocking chair rocking. Didn't seem strong enough to do damage on this side of the state, but there were car alarms going off and it was definitely noticeable.
EDIT: Epicenter in NE Oklahoma, 5.8 magnitude.

Rocked my refrigerator enough to make it squeak loudly for about 20 seconds, and I could feel vibrations with my hand on the wall and my bare feet on the floor.
USGS web site is saying magnitude 5.6 from 14km NW of Pawnee OK, so about 400km away from where I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes!
Oh hey -- they were able to save all of my mother's files, so that's good.

Our wings are not tired.
Still haven't felt the earth move under my feet in a literal sense. Haven't heard anything so maybe not a lot of damage?
Yay, Jesse! That is good news. Back up. Back up.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Hey car people! Would a person who has only driven cars with automatic transmissions have a problem with CVT?

I wouldn't think so, Sheryl. I haven't actually driven a vehicle with CVT, but it is still automatic, right?
Apparently a wide area on the earthquake. My family in Nebraska woke from sleep from it.

Earthquake in Oklahoma? Good grief. Fracking??
I forgot the best part: someone ELSE thought I was Betsy last night!!!!! I guess because I dyed my hair back to brown :) I tried to explain, and she was a bit confused, and worried I was offended. I was like "no, now it's a whole THING!!"
