2020/2021
Eh, it's been a while since I've done one of these retrospectives. Will just cover the last two years to reflect on the pandemic years. Let's dive in, shall we?
What did you do in 2020/2021 that you'd never done before?
There wasn't much in the way of new experiences. We basically stayed home the entire time. I guess I designed a website for a ( Read more... ) -
Drenched Enchantment
We just got back from our trip to New Mexico. We only effectively had four days and that absolutely was not enough time to visit everyone that I wanted to, or to do all of the things that I wanted to. I relished the time I did get to spend there however!
This trip also served as the initial test run of the new Ford Fusion that Sirocco got. It's a ( Read more... ) -
Tentative Padding
I have been fully vaccinated for a month and that has brought with it a qualm of sorts. See I'd thought we'd be doing the mask thing at least three-quarters the way into 2021. In addition to giving people a chance to catch up, I'd thought there may be a collective effort to continue mask wearing to decrease the speed at which the virus mutates ( Read more... ) -

Update? Update.
I'll be reaching my 2-week waiting period after my second vaccine this Saturday. Pretty pleased about that. The drive down to Pueblo again was very uneventful. Pueblo might be an interesting place to visit. The downtown looked kind of neat anyway, and they had a pretty cool-looking cemetery. Hard to tell if I'll ever stop there just ( Read more... ) -
2020: The Lost Year by Ken Burns
I'm calling it now. That will be the title for a PBS documentary in 40 years, and yes Ken Burns will still be alive. The photos will also be in black/white, for some reason ( Read more... ) -
Meanwhile in America...
*some dipshit platitudes about individual liberty in the face of a virus who doesn't read the goddamn constitution, and some weird ass shit about 5G making metachlorians fuck the coronavirus inside your mask and causing cancer or some bullshit. Leader of the free world points to red herring instead of working to solve the crisis. All this mixed ( Read more... ) -
Viral Hellscape
So June 2020 is a very different world than March 2020. I'd been feeling very hopeful as my favorite democratic socialist seemed to be running away with a presidential nomination. I was on the cusp of paying off my credit card debt for the first time in 7 years, I'd just refinanced my house, and was looking forward to finally saving substantial ( Read more... ) -
It's been one hell of an August
Have been pretty absent, but it's not for a lack of content to post. Just sooooooper busy ( Read more... ) -
Goddamn bugs
I've had my miniature balcony garden out for about two weeks (really, it's just like 7 ceramic pots... not much of a garden.) I had noticed that my geraniums and columbine are doing fantastic, but my marigolds and petunias not so much. Well, I took a closer look, and dug a bit into the soil, and the entire pot is infested with earwigs. As I ( Read more... )
