shake rattle and roll

While indulging my insomnia and watching BSG, I felt an earthquake! It might sound crazy, but as a native Californian, I actually miss the ground moving under my feet every now and then. Also, two years of being a geology major still makes me go earthquakes=yay versus earthquakes=freak out.

*pats the fabulous earth*

But the USGS has this nifty feedback feature, and 1900+ people have already reported feeling the quake - certain questions tell you what intensity you perceived, versus what intensity it was. This was only a 4.5, and we're over 30 miles from the epicenter, so this was just a light little shake. I don't even think it woke my Nana up.

Mineralogy was my downfall in geology - after struggling and flailing and only managing a C, I fled to the liberal arts and dead languages - and eventually maritime history. But in such a fascinating setting, you must get to use your geological know how quite a bit!

Once we know when we're going (May or August), I'll let you know! My mom sounds like she wants to stay strictly on Oahu, and though I'd love to get to Kauai most of all, I won't complain. But the Lynx sounds wonderful - so sorry you got sea sick!
