I just got info on the "bomb" threat. Some guy went up to the law firm on the 29th floor of the building and handed the receptionist a note explaining why he was pissed off because he didn't get on The Price is Right. Yes, you read correctly, THE PRICE IS RIGHT! I guess she saw some wires around or near his wrist and she called the Bomb Squad. They caught the guy, but swept the rest of the building just in case. Crazy!

The Chronicle's saying the situation has been "resolved." Hey, I'm still here!

Cripes, if there are actually Bomb Robots involved I'm suddenly a little more concerned.

A courrier told me about it a little while ago. Everyone is just standing outside apparently? I'd just assume go home...

Apparently it's the building directly behind mine, and they haven't evacuated us or anything. I think I may take lunch right now regardless...perhaps in The Richmond District.
