A very *cerealus case of writer’s block

— Ok, class, that’ll be all for today. Have a great weekend. Please stay safe. I want to see you all at 100% capacity on Monday to discuss your midterm papers. (You can hear the rustling from the notebooks closing, people getting up, their bags hitting everything around and seats moving as they exit the…

The Soulless Meta-Matrix Resurrected (spoiler free)

Finally watched The Matrix Resurrections, the 4th installment of the Matrix series, directed by only one of the Wachowski sisters (Lana). Saw the past three movies with one day in between each other last week. Then waited a full week to watch the new one (wanted to refresh the feel and story, without actually comparing…

As seen at a restaurant

At first glance, everybody thinks he’s an asshole. Expensive watch on his left wrist, asking about specific top shelf whiskey, and that pretentious smirk that just comes off naturally without any effort every time he finishes a sentence. Of course, a beautiful lady sits across from him at the table, staring with twinkly eyes his…

The inevitability of your next argument

The conversation began with “How was your day? Mine was very complicated.” It ended a few minutes later with “That’s the problem with you. You never want to know anything about me.”What was said in between were apathetic murmurs and indirect attacks without any kindhearted purpose. The time bomb that just exploded had no way…

NASA hires theologians to prepare humanity for alien contact, AYYLMAO!

A pandemic that came from having sex with pangolins and eating mutated bats, worldwide economic crises caused by disproportionate wealth and disaster capitalism, the meta verse launch, NFTs valued at millions of dollars… What a time to be alive! And 2022 looks even more fucked up than the past two years. “He who is afraid…

December 27

December 27 has been yet again one of the worst days of my life for a 5th consecutive year. Can’t escape it, it’s imminent. My destiny is to keep suffering on this godforsaken day. The same thing happens every single year. I have a great Christmas weekend with enjoying booze, food, friends and presents. Eating…

The Karen within me

Today I made my first official complaint to management ’cause I’m an adult (and basically a snitch); and I hate myself for it. But it was the correct way to go. Let me expand on the subject. I moved into a new apartment recently. First few weeks were fine, but now my neighbor is basically…

A very ordinary Christmas during very unusual times

Christmas dinner was a surprisingly nice experience. Who would’ve thought? I certainly wasn’t expecting a good time with everything that’s happening. 12 people attended, same inner circle, everyone sent their vaccination cards to the hostess and did a rapid-test the same day. Can’t think of a safer way to get-together and celebrate Christmas in the…

Longing for ‘Nochebuena’

Christmas Eve is probably my favorite holiday of the year, even with everything that’s happening and sudden cancellations (let’s just skip this 2021 and 2020). And the evening dinner is definitely the thing I missed the most about not being home. If I could have ONE teleporting roundtrip, it would be to go home and…

An Omicron Christmas

They’re finally here! Christmas’ Eve and Christmas, possibly my two most favorite holidays. Pork and Turkey dishes, family gatherings, lots of desserts, presents and people are overall happier, that’s just a fact (well, omitting seasonal depression for the sake of this sentence). But this year — like the past one, shit— things are starting to…
