Earthquake!
I didn't have to wait terribly long to feel my first earthquake here in Japan. At about 6:30am I was woken up and groggily realized my bed was shaking. I looked up at my dresser where I had a towel hanging to dry and watched it sway back and forth and realized what was going on.
It wasn't terribly severe, so I went back to bed.
When I woke up I went onto the US Geological Survey site to see if I was dreaming or really felt it. It was real alright, though not terribly strong. As I am in a brand new building, earthquakes don't worry me that much. Though being on the 10th floor probably causes a little more sway than in some other places.
So one more thing is crossed off my "to do" list in Tokyo. I experienced an earthquake.

Yeah, unless the bed travels across the diagonal of the room it's just not worth getting up. Glad to hear you are okay.
Glad you survived the rocking! I have a feeling that your 10th Floor situation might actually be better than ground floor. Those buildings are built to SWAY a bit!
You're an old hand now at "the rumblies". Welcome to the club!
