who up? It's 12:34 PM EST on a Thursday

Who up? This is not a joke.

As quarantine persists, we must continue to find different ways to attack to mundane days that we are subject to undergo. It's not illegal to go outside, but it damn sure does feel like it.

What I've done in the last 24hrs to change up what I do on a daily basis is get a New York Times subscription (fry me later). It's $4 every month, so $1 every week. I figured that the NYT gives more of an analysis on the pieces that they put out, judging off of what I read about their comparison to the post. Plus, how can you beat $1 every week for a credible news source? That sounds a little too hard to do. Whatever!

In Virginia, and other states, protests are going on for the state to re-open. That's not to say that there aren't protesters out there because they think that this whole quarantine idea is stupid. I don't have too much remorse for the adults. If you have a functioning brain during this time, you would keep your distance from most people and leave most, if not all, social gatherings on hold. I feel for the kids of these so called "adults". They are putting themselves at risk and putting their children at even more of a risk. A selfish move if I've ever seen one. The cops are even letting them know that if they don't keep their distance on the protest grounds (The Capitol Lawn, I believe) that they will be handing out court summons. Just stay at home! Drink a beer at 12PM to take the edge off. At least that's what I've been doing.

Thanks to my lovely mother, I now have access to both Netflix and Hulu. Netflix is a shit show for movies. There, I said it. You have to do some serious digging unless you're trying to watch a sub-par Netflix original. Hulu is better for TV shows, and makes that clear for the viewer. The movies are up to par, if not better, than what is on Netflix. Slim pickings on both, but one is definitely the better. Or maybe I'm just too impatient to browse through all the categories. That is also a possibility!

I did Kroger curbside pickup for the first time yesterday, only for me to call them and realize that I put in my order to pick up a week from yesterday. Tragic L on my end when the whole point was to just get a few bottles of wine and not have to worry about going inside of the store. Unfortunately, the Vinho Verde was calling my name way too loud and I made the trek inside of the store decked out with a new face mask and gloves on the behalf of BL. Wins and losses.

Hamms has been my best friend these last couple of weeks. I will never forget these times that me and my Hamms 6er from sev spent together. We grew together. We laughed, cried together. We matured together. And that's the beauty of it.

2024 was -- happy, sad, bad, glad, great, late, efficient, debilitating. These words that kinda rhyme-ish don't do justice to how chaoti...
