Oh god no. I absolutely love the rain and inclement weather in general. It makes me feel completely alive and takes me out of the realm of human affairs and connects me directly to the natural world. I feel much more alive and creative and happy.

    I've been spending a lot more time playing guitar lately. I've learned the solo to Whole Lotta Love, Iggy Pop's New Values (the whole album has incredible guitar work), and Highway Star by Deep Purple. So much damn fun and so satisfying. I've also started a free Harvard online class in critical thinking. I'd suggest everyone do that if you don't know it already. It really helps you cut through all the crap online and find out what's actually happening rather than just believing things that match your current belief system. Oh, understanding cognitive biases is also wonderfully refreshing.

    This is absolutely bullshit. With something like this coming up you either spend the night in your office or leave 2 hours early. This is our fucking country and our lives. We voted for you to do this. The movie No Way Out has Gene Hackman as a senator, I believe, who is waiting for someone for a meeting in Washington DC. The person is late and blames traffic. Hackman looks at him and says "why didn't you account for it?". These motherfuckers have no excuse for this.
