Earthquake Aug. 2011

I believe earthquake's are the cruelest jokes that the Earth plays on us as a species. Last year there was an earthquake in Quebec & it could be felt here in Toronto, this time the Earthquake seems to be centred in Virgina and it was about 5.9. This years quake for me last about 20-30 secs, last years I was entirely sure what was going on, this time I knew. Last year I was on the 9th floor at work and my computer screen rocked back and forth, but I had to wait for someone else in the office to go 'what was that'? This time I was sitting in my dinning room at home on the 6th floor and I felt the chair, the table sway & I could see the tea in my mug moving back & forth, also I looked up at my cloth's drying rack moving back & forth & my lamp swaying very visibly. Both times my reaction was to completely freeze and just kind of look around. This one I defiantly had more time to look around & think about do I need to hide under that table or am I fine. The one thing that kept going through my head was, when is this going to stop? Of all things in life, earthquakes are one thing I could have lived without.

FanExpo in just 3 days!!!!

On Thr I will be at the FanExpo in downtown Toronto. This will be my 6th or 7th year. Yup I'm losing count. This year I will be staying at the Fairmount Royal York Hotel with my friend Jonathan & his buddy, I'm super excited. I'm not sure what the internet is going to be like at the Royal York, I"m hoping it'll be good so I might be able to do a few posts, but if not the Monday after the con will be filled with lots & lots of pics & hopefully stories.

For anyone who doesn't know FanExpo is the largest convention of it's type in Canada. & what type is it? It's, as my friend put it, a GeekFest. There's everything, Comics, Sci-Fi, Horror, Anime, Gaming, etc. There's a lot of stuff that crosses genere's which is always awesome. If you wanna know more check out their website(I swear they're not paying me, but it'd be nice) FanExpo Canada

See you all in a week!

PS I promise this time to actually come back in a week & not like a month or two
