oh, Los Angeles.
In the past few months I have managed to not die by:
a) wildfire (25 km away)
FUN FACT! Mount Wilson Observatory didn't burn up so solar observations can continue for another 100 years.
b) potential car bomb (80 m away)
FUN FACT! Instead of waiting to see if they'd evacuate my building, I went to Universal Studios instead.
c) getting stabbed in the neck by crazed orgo chem undergrad (20 m away)
FUN FACT! That door on the left is my office. Also headphones + fan = major sound insulation; I didn't hear a damn thing until an hour later when Ryan walked in and asked if I was okay.
Today I also sponsored a starving child somewhere and bought a coat for some guy who was either crazy or on some serious pain meds ("The paramedics discharged me for eating poison food. I need a jacket so I can get to Beverly Hills!"). He had a Macbook so he didn't fit the profile of the normal Westwood hobo; I'm not exactly sure what was up.
Also I'm going to taiko drum practice/tryouts at 9:30 tonight that will end at 12:45 AM. I'm crazy, but somehow still alive.
EDIT: I also managed to not die from that colby-jack-cheese-looking rash back in May.
