I can't believe we're in May already. WTH, 2021?

This year is absolutely flying by in a sea of monotony. Hopefully that will start to change soon as lockdown lifts further. Plus, G got his first vaccine at the weekend, with very few side effects so far (just mild acheyness and tiredness), hooray!

Favorite colors: Blues of any hue

Last song you listened to: Remedy by Puscifer >D

Favorite musicians: I don't really have favourites, though I thought G was listening to The Doors earlier and I was disappointed to find he wasn't. Artists I've been listening to lately include: Marina, Lamb, Linkin Park, and Blackbeard's Tea Party, because I am ( Read more... )

This whole 'new normal' bullcrap is tough.

G and I have been working from home full time now since March 12th. Nearly 22 weeks. Or 5 months. It's driving me slightly mad.
