    Oh yeah! Like, I'm furious! I hate this shit so much.

    I'm kicking myself for not grabbing that cross last night and chucking it in the fucking river.

    I truly believe that's what little baby Anarchy-Jesus would've wanted me to do.

    Grab a cat-o-nine tails or some other suitable sex toy and drive them from the temple.

    Get your hands on a Moby and go crazy.

    I guess you could use his extremely shiny head and large glasses to focus the sun into a death ray like Archimedes did that one time.

    Wedding update: I asked my friend if I could wear my own dress shoes instead of the rentals and he said "Why, are you unusually difficult to fit shoes for?"

    "Yes, to the point where in the past when I found a shoe that I vaguely liked the style of that fit I'd go ahead and buy it because nobody stocks a size 13 triple A narrow."

    He said he'd check with the fiance

    That Moby would also work, grab him by his ankles and swing him like a club. Moby will be glad to be noticed.

    Man my town has been taken over by fundies all of the sudden.

    Last night there was some kinda curbside Jesus concert and they had a big cross plastered with all kinds of bullshit slogans Jesus definitely would not have been into. Three blocks up I had a guy try to shove a pamphlet in my hand. And today there's a regular group of these... I don't know exactly what they are. A group of black gentlemen preaching some sort of Bible something or other. Not the standard version. Anyway, they've upped their production and had a PA system and were fighting with people and preaching about ruling over women.

    Anyway.

    Kinda wanna fuck some shit up athiestly.

    I'm real mad at the group today, not so much because they were spouting crazy shit, they always do that, but because they set up right on top of a local saxophone busker who is incredible and they were completely drowning him out.

    Based on the preaching style, sounds like they might be Hebrew Israelites. They have a pretty wild theology and a real fondness for PA-augmented street preaching.

    Thats probably it exactly, yes. Anyway, its not the first time I've seen them get into street side shouting matches with people because they are saying some just wild stuff.

    Kinda wondering if I can flank around back and like, pour a Faygo into their sound system Solid Snake style

    I got some new lenses before the shutdown and they have a blue light filter and I hate them. Blue is such an important color, everything I see is just a little bit awful because there's not enough blue in it, I slept fine before.

    My wife has a sinus infection (there's one going around Boston right now, a friend just had it). She has no fever, no cough, can taste and smell just fine, and has all the hallmarks of a bog standard sinus infection but is still petrified that it's COVID. This year blows.

    On a similar note, I recommend not looking up epidemiologist opinions right before you try to go to sleep because haha hoo boy, Ontario's in for a time in the next month and change, and I am in for very little sleep tonight

    of course a bunch of the bay area just opened up for indoor dining even though we've at most plateaued on case numbers, so let's all look for a fun spike in November. Just in time for people to travel and spread it around (because expecting americans to stay put for Thanksgiving is laughable)

    A nurse friend of mine said opening schools up was the big culprit here which fucking duh they were even told by healthcare professionals in the state not to do it.

    Schools are disease vectors when there isn't a highly contagious pandemic afoot.

    My upper back muscles are fucked, I need to start doing mid morning quarantine yoga again. I think it was the only legitimately healthy habit I managed to pick up during severe lockdown.

    One of the good quarantine things for me has been having more time and energy to pick up better cardio and opportunities for yoga and all that, I've found more exercise to be super helpful with keeping afloat mentally

    Right now I'm also frantically trying to get as much sun as possible before it disappears in a week for like, the next five months or so, and my mood is varying wildly along with the weather this week (we've had bright sunny days and extreme depression clouds), which is consistent with my best friend who is on the same SAD roller coaster with me

    I ordered some fancy walking boots this week so hopefully I can keep up the 1-1.5 hour dog/podcast walks I've started on this month and get what little sun there'll be come winter

    I just joined Nerd Fitness and they have a great beginner Kettlebell workout for free on their youtube channel. A couple cycles through the circuit has my muscles talkin' to me today. Between that, some band exercises and walking I'm starting to feel decent. It certainly helps with the mental health aspect too.

    Yeah I was trying to figure out why ive been procrastinating on leaving the house to do my afternoon-work-in-a-park stuff, which is something I legit enjoy! But I think it’s because I don’t wanna bike around with a heavy backpack right now.

    Only choice is to suck it up or stay at home though, so I guess I should do some stretches first.

    I heard from my sister in law that a client of her's sister's boyfriend's cousin's former roommate was at a meeting with governor Baker and he said they're likely to shut Massachusetts down again soon.

    She advised me to stock up on toilet paper.

    Eh, I don't think we'll really see mega supply shortages on stuff again. That was caused by people panicking at the start, not the actual supply chains failing.

    According to my parents, they ran completely out of toilet paper about a month ago in every store in Amarillo for no apparent reason. Had to get by on RV TP from a sporting goods store like it was April again. Weird times.

    But that said obvious joke aside it does seem very likely that we're going to go into lockdown again within the next couple weeks. Maybe stop trying to open schools until there's a vaccine?
