Mara’s back.

This weekend? Please, powers that be, let me get it done this weekend.

Mara and the Trolls in paperback coming soon.

Meal Plan

I was in the cafeteria getting a plate. There’s a glass wall between me and the food, and the cook has to serve everything. I point at some yellow stuff and ask for squash.

The cook looks at me oddly and says that’s collared greens.

I ask, “The yellow stuff?” It’s obviously squash.

The guy winced. A moment later he said, “Yes, that’s squash. Sorry. I thought you were pointing at something else.” He looked very embarassed.

I felt sorry for the guy because I’ve done that a million times. It’s probably the cook-version of saying ‘you too’ after someone tells you to enjoy your meal. It’s a little weird to think about the other perspective.

The squash was good.

Ant Financial

There’s this thing caled ‘regulatory risk.’ Ant Financial just found it.

I’m very curious how deeply exposed some American financial institutions were to Ant. WSJ mentioned Blackrock and Fidelity, but were they dropping 0.1% on a flyer or 10% on a core position?

U of D

The walking paths around the grounds at DU aren’t straight. They don’t follow the shortest path. They’re all artsy. If you want to get somewhere, often you have to go around weird little curves.

It’s kinda annoying but kinda cool because it’s weird, artsy, and useless. They make me think of Amber.
