Where is everybody? The 'most recent 20 entries' on my reading page has a total of eight comments, and one of them is by me.
Anyway, around here all the talk is still EARTHQUAKE. I have realized what the problem is, guys: it's Thor fanfic. After all, we all know the Lokasenna, we all know what causes earthquakes: Loki trembling in his chains when Sigyn cannot keep the poison from him. And we all know how Loki ended up in that predicament: that's right, spreading scurrilous stories about the sex lives of the Aesir. So I predict more odd earthquakes so long as that remains an active fandom. :P
Meanwhile, I am mostly hoping that Hurricane Irene does not topple over any already quake-weakened structures. And other people are praying that she hits northern North Carolina hard enough to put out the 6,000 acre wildfire that's been burning mostly uncontrolled for weeks and sending smoke plumes as far north as Maryland, and maybe incidentally also breaking their third summer drought in three years. Meanwhile, up here, we've had five inches of rain in the past week, all of it in severe thunderstorms, including the lightning that hit the house across the street (it took out their FIOS and turned off their A/C, that was all) and they're predicting another severe storm system, possibly including large hail, later this week. Before the hurricane. I like living here! It's exciting. At least this week it is.
