I've got a list of things I want to do before I die, I do. There are a lot of things on it, aye, from taking a cruise to riding an elephant.

Experiencing an earthquake wasn't one of them, no.

It wasn't too bad, it wasn't, but a few of me pictures fell from one of me shelves, so I need new glass and have to be walking around carefully until I'm sure it's all cleaned up. A vase from home from me ma broke too, which is disappointing, but the truth of it is that I've not had need for the thing, no.

I'm hoping everyone else fared well, I am!

This city's a mess and no mistake. All of this isn't good, no it isn't. I'd love to do something, that I would, but me da always said the only thing more crooked than an Irish politician is an American one, aye. I'll likely be showing up at the clean-up thing, though, if I see more details about it, I will. I'm able-bodied, with more than me fair share of energy, that I am.

That being said, we need to keep our spirits up, aye! Last week and the week before there were boatloads of parties, there were, and this week there are none! This is not right, no. Aye, we will need to be taking more precautions so that everyone is getting there and home safe, but we're still young, we are. Anyone have a party idea? Other than Shishi. Shishi plans boring parties, that he does.
