I really have to go to bed. Just had a long chat with an old friend and I have to be up to “work” in a few hours. But I was delighted by the fact that many of my old friends (well, okay… a few) totally remembered the lemon lady. So just to keep theContinue reading “Crazy Larry”

I am aware that if ever there were a time not to be smoking, it would be during a global pandemic that basically destroys your lungs. But…it’s also incredibly hard not to do when it is such a habit, source of comfort, and the number one thing I enjoy doing when I’m really bored. So,Continue reading “I Don’t Have Any Scientific Data to Back This Up, But It’s Affecting the Rat Population!”

It turns out, quarantine diaries in my case are no fun. Nothing is going on here ( in my home, anyway) , and as angry as I am about how our country is handling things, I’m just not good at being cerebral about it. So, I’m still going to comment on the situation at hand,Continue reading “The Evolving Weirdness of this Blog, and Regrets That I Purchased a Serious Domain Title”

I got a text from a friend the other night saying that she was in quarantine hell with her family. That they were still trying to be polite and stuff, but were seriously getting on one another’s nerves. Meanwhile, I feel kind of bad/guilty about it, but I’ve started to kind of lean into thisContinue reading “So yeah, today was another day.”

Never in my life here in NYC have I seen such a thing. I just went out at 12:30 am on a Friday night to get some smokes and some beer, and the bodegas are closed! I didn’t even know the one next to me had a roll gate. I guess there just isn’t enoughContinue reading “The Bodegas are Shuttered!!! And The Eclipse story.”

Before all of the shit hit the fan, my boss had hired a new girl. My boss is terrible at hiring people and only about 1 in 10 actually work out. She was a total score though, completely normal person, seemed together and smart, had no super obvious freaky quirks like his usual hires. BothContinue reading “The Sound of Sirens”

I’m so annoyed by the back and forth about whether or not to wear a mask. Fist it was ‘Don’t use masks because healthcare workers need them. You don’t need them unless you yourself are sick or coughing, and in fact you may be worse off wearing one.’ Then yesterday the news seemed to beContinue reading “WTF with the masks?”

Not much to say today. My sleep schedule is not even close to normal anymore. Maybe that is in part why I feel so cranky and down right now, I’ve been up since 5am. Don’t even bother reading this if you are hoping for a little ray of light… This day has lasted 10 timesContinue reading “The Grim Reality is Setting In”

Brief rant about Donald Trump. Jesus Fucking Christ, FUCK THIS GUY!!!!!!!! Between the incompetence, the constant lies, wanting to withhold medical supplies to states who have been critical of him, trying to appeal the court ruling that will not allow him to make cuts to food stamps in the time of a pandemic, and urgingContinue reading “The Paranoia Starts to Take Hold, and Our New National Past time, TIGER KING!!!”

As somewhat expected, I woke up this morning to a text from my brother saying “Mom said you had symptoms of covid 19 – are you okay???”……uuuugghh. Yes, I am fine, I don’t actually think I had it – it was more a hypothetical possibility because nobody knows anything in this country due to ourContinue reading “Maybe I'll start designing elaborate sets for my apartment video chats”
