Life in slow motion

[shoiji]

I was in the kitchen this morning to make a cup of coffee. I take the coffee mug out of the cupboard and it starts moving along the counter.

Of course my non-cat like reflexes kick in trying to grab the cup and stop it from falling. All I can think of is it is still moving and going to fall on the floor and break. Must catch mug before it breaks. Finally it crashes to the ground and literally shattering. No big deal since I now have an excuse to go the the thirft store. Plus I have six more mugs just like it in the cupboard.

But all the while it seemed like it was happening in slow motion. I remember things slowing down when I was a kid. Usually about to fall and thinking, oh this is going to hurt.

Anyone else out there where they find themselves living in slow motion for a couple of seconds. If so what were you doing when this happened?

It's such a strange feeling - need to think of the last time it happened.
