My feet are so cold.

So yesterday as I was rocking the kidlet for her nap, the entire building started shaking.  After determining that it was sunny outside, the washer was not overbalancing, Optimus Prime had not crashed into the building and that even the incredibly annoying downstairs neighbors were not capable of MOVING THE ENTIRE BUILDING, I was left with…er..earthquake as the only possible cause.

I have ridden out hurricanes, tornados, mountains of porch destroying snow but this was my first earthquake.  Scooter is convinced the shaking was caused by a volcano.  She and the ‘Bit were both pretty mellow about the whole thing but Crumb the destructo cat ran wildly around with her tail puffed out for a couple of minutes before the earthquake hit. As mentioned on Twitter, I did save the coffee along with the other cracker jars of coffee-type neccessaties but it was never a dire thing.  The jars shift around on the top shelf of the bakers rack pretty much anytime we walk in the room.  With a hurricane headed in this weekend I am considering duct taping them to the shelf. You know, just till the worst of the wind is over.

To round out the disaster list, check out Tom Benton’s Flood, on the 1951 Kansas City flood, over at The Task at Hand.

Even after coffee my feet are still cold.

Paw and Claw Designs – Trust me, sometimes you NEED purple gaming dice earrings.  Kitten also makes gaming dice pendants as well as a selection of slightly more traditional silver and bead earrings.  She offers different options on her jewelry (like sterling silver or surgical steel) and takes custom orders.

This week marks the 2oth anniversary of the US release of the SNES. Check out GamingHUD for an entire week of articles, reviews, videos and geek-ly reminiscing on this early Nintendo gaming system.

Ahhh.  Warm socks.  Off to find lunch-type items and consume them.
