... or has Earth been going on an earthquake spree lately?
No, it's not just you, it's the media. The number of Earthquakes so far this year is normal. In fact, 6.3 quakes are really rather small and since this was really deep I would be surprised if there was any more damage than a few unsecured things falling off shelves.
I think that often, the proximity of earthquakes to heavily populated areas affects how heavily discussed they are.
But then, the earthquake in Japan was an anomaly.
