Update for Everyone III - The Whinge Binge

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Haven't floated away.


Yet.


Seriously, we've had over a foot of rain here in the past twenty four hours.

I have been just informed that my grandmother suffered a mini stroke and another small heart attack last night and I am of course very much alarmed.

Praying that she gets better.

On account of the city-wide threat of a college campus shooting at 2pm tomorrow, I will be taking my 2nd intentional unexcused absence during my time here. Better safe than sorry in spite of the low chance considering my classroom is the "open-room design" in the lobby of the building with by far the highest traffic. Seems like no one will be going to class tomorrow across the city from what I'm hearing. #StuffHappens

Hmm. It seems pretty weird for the university to send all students and staff such a message yet to stay open. I'd say either you ignore the threat because you consider it irrelevant and you keep your doors open, or you send a message and decide to close the doors and give everybody a day off because you consider the threat relevant. This is only causing confusion.

University administrations are extremely incompetent when it comes to dealing with this kind of stuff (they're incompetent in general, but this is one area where they really take the cake). Don't get me started on my former university's handling of affairs during the active shooter/terrorist crisis in Ottawa last year.

LA being a driving city is such a missed opportunity. The weather here is pretty much perfect for walking, and instead the city's, well, what it is. I really wished they had built that Wilshire subway line extension back when Metro was beginning instead of 2035...

This is perhaps truer than a New Yorker like me is comfortable admitting. When I was in LA last, we visited an outdoor shopping mall near Cedars-Sinai and it made me think about how much more pleasant walking outside was than New York's two extremes, but the point was moot since there wasn't much walking to be done in the first place. New York wins again, in spite of ourselves.

The same 4chan board that appears to have nurtured the Oregon shooter.

I'm slightly worried about being targeted for appearing like an insider trader due to a slight miscommunication in an interview. I think everything will be fine, but still a bit nervous.

I watched A Room with a View with my not-quite-girlfriend. A Room with a View has a reputation as an archetypal lesbian date movie, even though it's about straight people, and it definitely worked very well in this case.

Because of some work I did related to DraftKings. An article I was quoted in made it appear like I may have been involved in the scandal, but I got the mess sorted out so it's all good now.

I love football. So many good games today

Apparently some morons in my university went to a frat party wearing blackface. Ugh. Welcome to America, I guess...

In a frat? Not surprising.

I am in Bogota. Big city but quite pretty in parts and runs efficiently considering it's Colombia. I visited the Presidential palace because I'm am Atlas poster.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

A True Atlas poster would get a selfie with Santos and post it on PAPOY, hash.

Was walking into the Canal Street Station when my mildly drunk friend started to talk a little too loudly about how hot the redhead standing down the platform was. Turns out that of all the women of the world, that one particular redhead he chose to wax panegyric about... was my sister-in-law.

Well, that was awkward.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I too am drunk, Simfan. I just let my roommate tase me. It didn't hurt at all, but it made me jump and scream none the less.
