Spring Season: Week 12
May. 25th, 2020 09:55 amOH GOD I'M SO TIRED. I also like, just updated this thing, but fuck it, it's Monday, might as well pretend I keep to some sort of human schedule whenever I feel physically able, right?
A lot of cold, dreary, rainy May days lately. Yesterday started out clear and sunny and shot up past twenty degrees before the clouds rolled back in, which would have been nice if I wasn't, you know, inside at work for the entire duration of it. Very grey most of the time, and not that clear, bright sort of winter grey, either; it's all that flatter, yellower sort of apocalypse grey, where everything is just dark for no evident reason. Maybe the weather just wants us to keep our stupid asses indoors until all this pandemic bullshit is over. No new cases reported in almost a month now, which definitely makes me feel better about maybe getting to visit my grandmother on the weekend, though!
All the disaster relief vehicles finally cleared out of my neighbourhood over the weekend, which makes things feel a smidge more normal, which is nice. Well, "normal". Back to just the one crazy ongoing thing affecting every aspect of day-to-day life, anyway, although I admittedly haven't been downtown since the flood and I'll still have to get my daily water rations all summer, so I guess these things are all real relative.
I started my big catchup of old articles I clipped to Evernote to read at the beginning of March, so I'm just getting into the early days of COVID-related stuff, which is very odd given how quickly everything snowballed (cascades!), but WEVS. Gonna start putting this behind a cut because it's really just a long, boring list of links for my own reference (the essays on Starbucks and onions at the end are both quite good, though):
( THE WORK READS )
I had no big sleep crash this week? Which on the one hand, feels like kind of a good thing in that I seem to be adjusting to this schedule, but on the other hand, means that I'm getting less than twenty hours of solid sleep in a week which is decidedly not enough for my purposes. JUST TWO MORE DAYS AND I'M FREE FOR ANOTHER GLORIOUS SEVEN DAYS, THOUGH.
I really need Discovery to come back already. Also to catch up on all the MCU shows while we're still in a dry patch. Also all the other eight million shows I've fallen behind on. But mostly the Disco thing.
The spoiler zone is small this week, but movies have been more vital to my sanity than ever of late:
( 3:10 to Yuma, Safe, Orlando, The Last Picture Show, Better Luck Tomorrow )
oh my god, it's still only 10am HOW
