On one hand, I just lost the LDB game. OTOH, it was Grace Jones singing it on the Pee-wee Herman holiday special, so it was the coolest way possible.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I lost it to Christopher Lee's heavy metal version.

Okay, fine, the *second* coolest way.

In nice news, the baby panda takes his first steps. Wobbly, but walking.

What is even happening?

Did I get you here, Toddson? I don't recall hearing it, before the day I posted it here.
LDB is on my favorite Christmas album [link] -- the one we always put on when we're decorating the tree. We did ours the day after Thanksgiving this year (super early for us -- but I needed lights and good cheer), so I LDBed myself, really.

Cindy, I think so ... it was a fairly painless experience.
In other "yes, it's STILL 2020" news, a trailer for a mini movie.

Hi!
I fell behind enough sometime in November to be perpetually a week behind in here ever since and just caught up. I'm so excited to be able to share my mundane thoughts throughout the day again! Have been sendin ~ma and sympathizing and occasionally cheering from my time-shifted lurkerdom, of course

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Apparently Johnson&Johnson is running trials on their vaccine here. I think theirs is single dose. I'm wondering about seeing if I can get in on that. I haven't yet had a chance to read up on this version though.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I think theirs is single dose.
I really hope vaccine developers can move towards a single-dose vaccine, especially if it turns out that we need to get the coronavirus vaccine every year, like the flu vaccine. Because it's just going to be difficult to get some people to go back for a second shot, especially if the first dose has notable side effects. (I say that as someone who stepped in an open pipe while wearing shorts and scraped my leg up terribly, up to the knee, went to the hospital for a tetanus shot -- which was a 2-dose shot -- and never got the second dose. That was probably 20-ish years ago, so I was damn well old enough to know better, and yet I skipped the second dose, because people are ridiculous sometimes, and I am a people.)
