This just in. Naomi thought the cat was under the sofa rocking it, causing her to feel a little dizzy. Then we found the cat on his perch, and so she asked me to sit on the sofa to feel it swaying a bit.
“Why ah?”, she asked. Being the professional bullshitter that I am, I said, “I think the seat of the sofa sits on the base in an unstable way.”
I sat on the other sofa, which didn’t “sit on a base in an unstable way”, and said, “No, this one don’t have”, and then, “eh? Got”.
For confirmation, we stared at a glass of water on the coffee table, and saw ripples.
Oops, there it comes again!
There are no thundering sounds, so Jurassic Park III is ruled out, and I don’t think our neighbours have bought their 5:1 Dolby home theatre system yet.
Just switched on CNA on the telly, and they say there’s been a quake near Bengkulu, Sumatra at 7.9M.
USGS says its preliminary magnitude is 8.0 and a tsunami warning has been issued.

Darn, I didn’t feel a thing. I felt the last one though– but not this one. I thought a friend was feeling dizzy indeed. Better call her back!

[…] Mr. Miyagi [en] em Cingapura escreve “A Naomi achou que o gato estava embaixo do sofá, balançando ele, fazendo ela se sentir um pouco tonta. Então a gente achou o gato em outro lugar, e ela me pediu para sentar no sofá para sentir ele balançando um pouco. “Por quêâ€?, ela perguntou. Sendo o mentiroso profissional que sou, eu disse, “Eu acho que o assento do sofá está apoiado na base de modo instávelâ€. Sentei no outro sofá, que não estava “apoiado na base de modo instávelâ€, e disse, “Não, este não temâ€, e então, “ei? Entendiâ€. Para confirmar, a gente olhou fixamente para um copo de água em cima da mesa e viu ondulações”. […]
