1. I have typed up my phone log with the specialty pharmacy and have organized it in a spreadsheet. According to a call that I received from K. at the specialty pharmacy at 2018-07-19 14:19, the medication will be delivered on Tuesday. I’ll believe that when I see it. Allegedly there is no way for me to get the tracking number until Tuesday morning.

  2. Future is still very hard to predict. Even more disturbing, the world’s bestest methods for predicting the future seem very… simple. Maybe they are just so very parsimonious and not trivial? I really, really, really don’t want to build some sort of bullshit overfit future out of machine learning buzzwords. On the plus side, since the current methods of future prediction are so… parsimonious, the modification thereof is within my skillset.

  3. Not as boring: Our federal government has sent four planes to San Diego this week to deport people to Central America. Most are going to Honduras, but one was going to Guatemala. I went out to take a picture of today’s deportation plane, but the auto-focus settings on my overly-complicated camera were not set up correctly for taking good pictures of airplanes, so the shots were all unacceptably out of focus. Relatedly: I am starting to feel like I should pay someone to explain all of my camera’s features to me because the documentation is terrible.

  4. Boring to everyone except me: Caught seven Unown in Pokémon Go the other day.

  5. Things that happened a while ago and that I should have written about at the time: Three members of the IMO team from Uzbekistan were disqualified for cheating. Lots of people with incomplete information had a lot of opinions about this.

  6. Haven’t yet made it to the airport to take pictures of the planes with Shark Week livery.
