Flash earthquake

Yesterday there was the weirdest earthquate I have ever experienced here in Japan. Instead of a slow, either strong or weak, shaking that would last a few seconds, It was just a sudden jolt, and then stopped.

It was not strong, and not that scary. Actually, at first I just thought that someone dropped a big table or something like that outside. Maybe a car crash just one block away. I didn’t really think it was an earthquake at all (but considered the possibility).

So today I checked the weather site, and indeed there was a lv 4 earthquake in Ibaraki, not far from here. That must have been it. The weird thing is that the quake was listed as happening at 2:30 in the morning… Boy I’m really losing my sense of time. Shouldn’t stay up playing videogame until so late anymore.

Well, good dreams to all of you.

"Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson."
