I'm on the train now, at least. And I'm wearing a shirt with ninjas on it. It seemed like a good sartorial choice to start the year.

Ninjas are always in fashion.
I'm trying to remember my high school physics: if you shoot a gun into the air, doesn't the bullet come down at the same velocity it left the gun at?
And if so, omg wtf is wrong with people who fire guns into the air in an urban area?
Okay, back to laundry and then out for dim sum.

It's from 2? 3? years ago.

I was supposed to do stuff today. I've been on the couch mostly asleep since I last posted. Not feeling good.

IIRC from when Mythbusters tested it, the terminal velocity of the falling bullet is less than the initial velocity when fired if it's fired straight up. However, if it's fired at an angle it's basically just shooting at an unseen target that may be a person.

Oh man it is cold out there. After yesterday I didn't think to bring my gloves with me. Big mistake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's warm and sunny out and I should really be out there.

Happy New Year, everyone!
Since this is happening NEXT WEEK (OMG) I'd better get organized and make something happen. I know we talked about it a little a few weeks ago, but I never firmed up any actual plans. Also, T. is going to be working a lot more than I thought, so I have a lot more potential Buffista time than I originally said that I would. Yay!
LA-istas! I am coming to your city soon and I would love to see you! My friend T. and I are flying in on the night of Jan. 9th and I'll be in town until the afternoon of the 13th. T. will be working a lot of the time, so I have a lot of time to fill! Basically, all day Monday and Monday evening, Tuesday day, Wednesday afternoon, possibly Wednesday evening, and Thursday day, or at least morning.
I just got off of chat with T. He said, "When we're in LA, why don't you get all the LA Buffistas together for a mini-F2F at our hotel?" He may have picked up some of the lingo after living with me all those years, hmm.
Anyway, that's not a bad idea, I guess, if the timing works out. We'll be staying at the Omni Los Angeles at California Plaza, 251 South Olive Street. I've never been to LA, so I have no idea where that is. But if you all want to do that, I've been told by a friend that the bar in that hotel is nice. But I'm also up for individual get-togethers, depending on folks' schedules. Let's plan!
I'll x-post in the F2F thread. Feel free to discuss in-thread, or contact me at my profile address.
