mind over pasta

so i've discovered a new superpowe (and yes i do have others). i can dream and earthquake and it'll actually happen!!!

that's not entirely true...what really happened was that an earthquake started and instead of waking up first i incorporated it into a dream where i was watching a documentary about earthquakes and they were "recounting" some classic earthquake showing how it would pulse stronger and stronger...and then it finally got so strong i woke up and realized what was going on.

keep in mind my bed is lofted about 4.5 ft. high and i was hungover after having slept 4 hours...i was very attentive, and it didn't seem like she was gonna break, so i just stayed there and eventually it stopped and i passed out again. then my bro calls...i'm too lazy to pick it up. then he calls again and, knowing that's the international sign for "pick up the frickin' phone," i picked it up thinkin' there was something wrong with him...and he's like...are you okay? i'm like...huh, news travels fast. his gf's mom had called him. he called my sister. THEY called me...i just wanted to frickin' sleep! eitherw ay, finally got up for a while after talkin' to him and my sis and mom, listened to the radio for a little while (on my MP3 player 'cause the power was knocked out) and it was all fine. so i went back to sleep 'till noon, took beau for a walk, surfed for four hours, cooked in the dark, read by candlelight for a little while, adn then the power came back on so i could watch tv.

all in all, an interesting sunday. all my plans were shot to shit 'cause the cell waves were all packed and i couldn't get in touch with my friends very well...and there was a storm at the same time so that didn't help...yeah. useless day. then i needed a drink and naturally don't have beer, and i expected all the beer at the supermarket to be warm...so i made a martini...that i'm still trying to finish. this fuckers don't go down too easy....

oh, earthquake was rated highest at a 6.6. what surprised me most (geekin' it up) was the frequency of the rumbles. i always excpected it to sound/feel like the ground shaking, up down rock cracking sorta thing....but instead it was just a REALLY powerful....hum. definitely in the audible range and very regular. the strength of it (amplitude) went up and down (up higher every time until the last one) and every time it did i'd be holding my breath wondering how bad it would get...then it would relax again. but yeah...didn't rumble like...say...an avalanche (movie sounds) or rock slide...or how they make them sound in movies. it hummed.

the amount of energy required to move that much mass SUSTAINED at such a high frequency is ridiculous.

fun shit!
