The Trifecta Injecta

Nov 04, 2021 20:46

Got the third entry on my vaccine card last Tuesday. Felt a little under the weather Wednesday, but wasn't as bad as dose two.

The pharmacy where I happened to find a slot was up near Winter Hill Bakery, so I was able to bring home some pastéis as well. Yum.

Eris is signed up for inoculation a week from Monday. If we can't somehow manage before then. Light at the end of the tunnel for sure.

Election day passed. Long-time city councilor Katjana Ballantyne will be the next mayor of Somerville, I think she'll do a great job. Most of the candidates on my ballot prevailed, Somerville YIMBY favorites won all across.

On the national front, the pendulum seems to be swinging back GOP-ward. They experienced no real consequences for flirting with just throwing out the Presidential election, and will keep that in their toolkit for the next time they think they can get away with it. Of course, parents are pissed, which is one reason for the pendulum to swing. But hey parents, maybe voting for the objectively-pro-COVID party is not an improvement? The school year here in liberal Somerville, Massachusetts is a bit unusual in terms of masks and air filters and testing, but it's surprisingly normal in terms of lots of people not getting sick at once and things generally humming along.

On the very local front, Bisq has closed permanently. One of my favorite restaurants, and the sister restaurant to all-time-great Bergamot, which also shuttered early on in the pandemic. I'm glad I was able to have some last great meals there, but it's a real shame.

What else, what else? I finished Metroid Dread, which was pretty fun! A Metroid game that in some ways stands its predecessors, but is also a paragon of the series. And I started Disco Elysium, which seems great, but I need more time to sit down with it. This entry was originally posted on Dreamwith.
