Random Rants XL: I'm having trouble growing my wood

[NedimNapoleon]

Its not that bad, its a 4.5 but its a shock to people who have never felt an earthquake. I'm probably not going to sleep because I'm paranoid of an aftershock now.

I remember the 5.8 Virginia Earthquake. I was at my desk when it happened and only 35 miles away from the epicenter.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

First thought when I saw my computer screen shaking was, WTH did an airplane crash somewhere near, the second thought was MUST SAVE MY PC

 

[Takhisis]

Nedim, perhaps you're too young and grew up abroad, but many people might have thought they were being bombed.

 

[Verarde]

brother: Hey what's going on down there anything interesting?
me: olympic ceremonies, you should come watch.
brother: eh.

I wound up missing those to pick up sticks in the yard. Anyone know a place to watch them online?

 

[Takhisis]

Everywhere on the news. If you're in a civilised place, that is.

I've got some poison ivy on my arms and legs. It's minor, but right now it is itching like crazy. Managing to not scratch it though.

Yeah, that pretty much was how I felt in August. I'll admit it, I was paranoid of being upstairs in my two story house because of the loud creaking noises from the earthquake.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

I just watched the Olympic opening ceremony. It was cheesy, I think that's the only way to describe it.

 

[cardgame]

That fireworks display was pretty freakin' sweet though, right?

 

[W|M]

The Beijing fireworks were better, though I really liked the forging of the Rings of Power and the part with Chariots of Fire and Mr. Bean

The worst part is I was on the second floor of a BRICK SQUARE house (really unstable because its not flexible).

No, bombs sound and fell much different, when a mine went off last summer it was just an explosion and loud sound, not extreme shaking.

 

[Verarde]

Didn't fall asleep until after 3am, due to uncontrollable itching that caused me to curl up in a ball and whimper.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

I wanted to watch the latest episode of Burn Notice yesterday but didn't have the time. I just read a spoiler. It's a big one .

 

[Mango Elephant]

Seriously, the opening ceremony was tacky, confusing, and unappealing.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

I'm very bored right now, and the boredom is getting quite irritating.

I hate weekends.

Heh, I wouldn't really know, my life's sucked big at times but in other ways.

Apparently every episode since the last few of Season 5 has been very spoilery (more or less since Anson showed up). I missed the last one of S5 (damned syndication delays) where the T-X appears, still haven't got to see it, and S6 hasn't appeared yet (again, damn syndication).

 

[GoodSarmatian]

I've got a cold and can't go to work today.
Yesterday I was angry that I 'll have to work on a Sunday, today I'm angry that I'm going to miss out on the money.
I'm incapable of happiness.

 

[Tee Kay]

I am very out of energy.
