Did I say this already? What’s the protocol for shopping online during this epidemic? There’s nothing doing and I feel like spending money, but is it morally correct to force people to pull your orders in the middle of all this madness? While other people are working in this madness, should I contribute to their being in perilous positions? I’m not sure. I really want to spend money. I am bored.
I’m sort of getting some psychosis from staying at home. I’m sort of feeling depressed. A walk does me some good, but I get home and all that awaits me is the couch. Television does excite me. I’ve seen the YouTube videos. Even my beloved Nogizaka46 seem not to pull me from this funk.
But I am not so sure about what will happen when the social distancing ends. I’m getting work done, and now I know that I can. Can I go back to boring drive to work, work, drive home, eat, sleep routine?
That is another psychological issue.
I wish I could just wander aimlessly again like we did a decade or two ago.
iPhone SE is dead. Long live iPhone SE?
Yes. No. Maybe. It’s still too big for my taste. Just like my 6 year old MacBook Pro, I think I’ll hold onto my SE a little longer.
I was tempted at the tail end of last year, but I held onto the hope that we’ll get an update to the SE that would’ve kept its size but with modern internals. Sadly not happening.
Maybe in the future when quality components can be shrunk down to fit the smaller SE case size. For now, that is just a dream and a hope.
Ed-die! Ed-die! Ed-die! Ed-die! Go O’s!
Welp baseball isn’t happening. Will it ever? Maybe. Not sure if I would even care in the midst of this crisis. It’s small and insignificant, but will baseball help us return to a semblance of normality? Doubtful. Maybe in a year or two when the rona isn’t something to worry too much about.
So this one is a bit late as I have been working into the night. It kind of sucks that home and work are the same place. This is what happens and why I fear working from home as I can’t escape from the clutches of the job. I hate capitalism.
Today was also supposed to be tax day. I haven’t filed yet. It seems that our accountant had passed away — not from the rona (at least I think not). So we were scrambling to figure out how to file. They changed the due date to July 15. I wonder if I will have filed by then?
It’s a new moon. Technically that happened a few days ago, but I forgot to say that. A month has passed! It feels like nothing. I think I can do this for another 32! NOT.
I’m not that masochistic. I know how to be alone because I’m well accustomed to it. Sitting here in my house. Going out to the bookstore. Watching movies. I do them most of the time by myself. It’s sort my default. If it isn’t your default, then check this Vox article out on how to get more acclimated to loneliness.
I do use the camaraderie of work to socialize. Face-to-face. Still fun and energizing. On the phone isn’t the same. I miss my buddies.
To make up for such a lame post today, here’s some action for you. Some skateboard action.
I keep watching these guys bomb these hills and completely worry about them. What about a pebble in the road? Or a crack? Or cars coming their way? What does a wreck look like? I don’t really want that answered. I just want them to make it down in one piece. It’s amazing that they do.
I owe you guys a post…
But I’ve got nothing.
Like the trying times we are in doing a post a day is exhausting. Don’t say I don’t do nothing for you guys.
Happy Easter! I actually left the house to go have some lunch with the family risking it all just for a bit more of human touch. It was good to spend the time, but I was truly worried. I don’t know if I am a carrier and if I was I don’t want to see the ramifications of that decision. I went for some food and fun with the family who I haven’t seen in weeks.
It was nice.
Twenty-Eight Days later…
I’ve had this article in one my tabs looking for a time to post it, but I keep forgetting. You shouldn’t, so “Let’s Never Forget: Republicans Recklessly Put Our Lives in Danger.” They’ve been doing that for the majority of my life and probably since the 60s when they became the party of racism. Fuck them, and fuck their voters.
