Also! I did buy that cute-ass cherry skirt from last week, and it should be here tomorrow, which is good because we have a Postmodern Jukebox concert next week. (And then we see John Mulaney on March 13, and I'm wearing my bee print skirt from the same shop [not miniskirt length like in that post; same just-below-the-knee midi length as the cherry skirt]).

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

PMJ and Mulaney! That's some quality self care. That'll get you through the winter blues.

And Prozac will get me through everything else.
When we bought the tickets in December, I was like "Fuck, man, Covid is STILL a thing, and these are indoor events with a lot of people!" And then we got Covid Strikes Back in January, and now I'm back to feeling invincible (at least as regards Covid). Even Tim was like "Hey, we can go see movies again! What should we see?" The immediate post-Covid rush of invincibility is the good shit.

There was a meme floating around Twitter the other day which was facetious and snarky and yet also 100% accurate: "These periods between variants are so precious."
And I was like, "Yeah! Remember in the fall when we were all vaccinated against Alpha and Delta and were temporarily bulletproof! We saw movies and shit!"

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Open mic blues night at the brewery! With food from Grub Hut and the "Wandering Sasquatch" IPA and lots of big dogs to scritch!

So giddiness at being Omicron proof has been mitigated by Russia invading Ukraine.
Le sigh.
WTF 2020s. You are the worst decade I've ever lived through so far.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yeah this all sucks.
Texas starts state mandated persecution of trans kids.
Russia invaded Ukraine.
I would like so many leaders to drop dead right now.

I got my wish with Scalia and then there were three more Scalias on the SCOTUS.
I'm mindful of my Monkey Paw wishes now.
Russia has launched missile attacks on Kyiv's airports, trying to suppress their air force.

Ugh I am so pissed at Texas. They’re just all about creating Snitch Culture aren’t they?
And v curious—for work we are starting up a new thing and getting some doctors offices in Eastern Europe…and Ukraine. A day or two ago I asked the liaison if we should rethink Ukraine and she was like “no I’m Kyiv we are fine it’s just two breakaway provinces it shouldn’t be an issue” and now I’m v curious what she’ll say at our first meeting in a couple days…if we have it?? I mean it wouldn’t be for a few months but…seems iffy.
I do not appreciate plague AND global warfare.
