Oh crud, I just found out the victim in the UCLA shooting was a young professor
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Cute dress.
Good luck with the time allocation, shrift, that sounds like a good move.
Oh, Kat, what a hard day! I wish I could help with the logistics, somehow.
And that is a lot, Burrell. Those both do sound unreal and awful.
I have heard very little actual facts about the UCLA deaths. I suppose I should look into it. Maybe tomorrow, I can't imagine that would be restful research to do.
Excellent Tai Chi class tonight: the Four Corners and Lead the Horse to the Stable. Couple more classes and we'll have covered the whole form.

I decided to take a dip into Leverage on Netflix, considering how many people here love it. I didn't finish the first episode, because I saw the plot twist coming ten minutes before it played out, and I can't fast forward through the 2nd episode's Bad Actress Proving How Bad She Is scenes (plus the How They're Doing Our Vets Wrong premise is a bit anvily). Is this a case of a new series just finding its feet? Should I just bear with it for the character backgrounds, or is there an episode I should jump to where things start to gel?

Oh my gosh. Calling police on a six year old? Wtf? And Burrell, that sounds horrid, wow.
Why is it that the one morning I don't have an early meeting (tomorrow) is the morning that trash and recycling pickup is, and the trucks come through around 7am right outside my window? Sigh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, Kat and Burrell, that is all too much.
When I was in grad school there was a shooting. A failing grad student shot a professor during a final. I was across the street at the time and saw the distraught students from the class, followed by the shooter, come out of the building. This was... 1999 I think. And the only thing that has changed is the procedure for what happens after a shooting.

Unless the biting incident is playing out like a scene from Interview with the Vampire I'd say calling in the police is an indication that the school board should review its choice in administrative personnel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have to say, I'm pretty excited about seeing the Chicago touring cast in two years!
(Although maybe this will make it less of a Thing?)
