"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, I am so sorry. This stuff is awful.

It fucking is.

Thanks, all. I just haven't made a lot of male friends in the 21st century, so it's hard to lose one. I just don't think he's going to survive this.

He's the guy who had me on his radio show twice and we just had so much fun geeking out together over music. My Kenyon friend, Greta, is also close with him.

I first discovered Todd through his film blog. (Curiously, Greta and I - who've known each other since Soph year of college - were crossposting on Todd's blog with internet names, not knowing who the other person was.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry about your friend, David.

Sucks about your friend, David. Yikes.

Took my laptop to the apple store and they were able to fix the sticky key then and there, which was great! And there was a gorgeous rainbow!

Because books.

David, I'm so sorry about your friend. I don't understand why people don't believe this virus can be traumatic.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

David, I'm sorry about your friend. sj, I'm sorry about your uncle.

I've said I'm sorry so many times this year, it feels like it doesn't mean anything anymore. It's all so awful, and knowing it didn't have to happen is an extra kick in the gut.

Because books.

Oh, sj, I knew I forgot something. This year has eaten my memory. I'm so sorry about your uncle.

Punishingly Intricate

I'm so sorry about your friend, David.

Thanks. Thing is, everybody's going to have a friend like that soon. It's really raging right now. SoCal ICU's are at 0% available. They're lining up the refrigerator trucks.

Yeah, I drove around to a bunch of friends tonight dropping off cookies—and one set of friends responded yes they wanted cookies but one of them had just tested positive so please leave on the porch and they’d grab once I’m gone. Weirdly, the pediatric nurse? No COVID. The gym teacher working from home? COVID. Hoping they’re ok—fingers crossed, they’re young and healthy and the sweetest folks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm so sorry about your friend, David. This year... You all know the chorus, horrible as it is.
