Had a really, really horrific nightmare last night - combined elements of Echo Bazaar, Gen Con and cross country skiing and oddly a small earthquake, which sounds banal or weird enough, but doesn't give the flavor of the nightmarish stuff when that started happening....
...and then woke up to the news of Japan's 8.9 earthquake and tsunami.
I used to live in Tokyo, so this slams home for me. The building we lived in and the one I worked in were built to rigorous earthquake codes, but I still felt nervous about the ground from time to time.
Keeping my fingers crossed for acquaintances there, and hoping for everyone in Japan that the damage is as little as it can be after something like this.

My favorite headline of the day:
Sep. 3rd, 2009 11:27 pmJapan's New First Lady Not From Venus, Was Only Visiting.
If you hate the New York Times, the Telegraph also reports on the story here.
I sincerely hope this signals a push for more space exploration. Even if some of us have apparently already done more than I thought we had.
