Possibly, indirectly screwed via COVID proxy
I still haven’t gotten COVID, even though everyone in my inner circle has gotten it. Who says being an introvert and staying inside 90% of the time doesn’t pay off? Get this… The housemate of someone that visited my house TWICE this week has just tested positive for COVID. Don’t mind her. It wasn’t the…

Here we go again, another day, another year – JUST SMILE!
Another [pandemic] year flew by, and some places even brought back curfews and stricter mask and testing mandates; just in time to spread a little holiday joy. It was a very ‘warm’ December. Makes you wonder what’s coming in January and February (even March). My fridge is stocked and I’m ready for the worst. Probably…

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…

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…

The self imposed hubris of a young wannabe-writer
Reminisced (wow, that’s a word I never use) today after seeing a comic meme that was aimed at my past self. It went something like: Person 1 standing in the frame of a room door: “You think you’re so smart because you read so many articles online. Look at how you look right now.” Person 2…

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…
