you rock my world

An earthquake, that is. A big one! We're lucky here in Tochigi because we're not directly over any major fault lines. So whenever we have an earthquake here I know that other people are getting it worse elsewhere.

Tonight was the first time that something BROKE in my apartment. A glass candle holder fell off the bathroom vanity and smashed into the sink (good shot!).

Most damage was felt in Tokyo. Check it out here. The trains were delayed there, which even affected us this far north! I took my friend Satomi to a party in Utsunomiya and we got stuck in Nowhereville without a train!! She had to ring her friend to come and pick us up from Jichiidai! Even though it's only a 16 minute train ride, it took him more than half an hour to get there by car. Satomiごめんなさい！！そんな所に連れて行くなんて。。
