How dorms without AC feel.

It’s too hot to write a proper byline. Enjoy this morning’s Bwoglines!

Happening in the World: Typhoon Jebi, the strongest typhoon to hit Japan since 1993, made landfall yesterday. So far, it has killed 8 people and injured scores more. Flights are grounded and over a million people are without power. (Voice of America)

Happening in the US: Today is the second day of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing. Yesterday’s hearing was tumultuous, with protesters screaming from the gallery and contentious debate between Democrats and Republicans. Learn more about day one here and prepare yourself for day two. (NY Times)

Happening in NYC: The US Open continues! Serena Williams made it to the semifinals yesterday, while Roger Federer lost to a virtually unknown player. (ESPN)

Happening on Campus: Lots and lots and lots and lots of auditions! See Bwog’s compilation here.

Overseen/Overheard: On college walk, spoken by a clearly drunk girl: “OK, only SOMETIMES do I go to school drunk.”

Book recommendation of the day: Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, by Tom Robbins. Both funny and meaningful, with characters who leap off the page. I recommend this book to everyone.
