Came up with a better username. Now I just need an .avi that looks good in a circle.
Spent an entirely unreasonable amount of time watching PJ Harvey videos on the 'Tube.
Some of this:

Hit the streets with various marches, protests, demonstrations, agitations and such
A whole lot of this:

Spent an unhealthy amount of time in my own house. Like, more than once, many times during winter, I realized the only time I walked outside my door for a week was to take out garbage or get the mail.
Pretty slow otherwise. Fortunately there's been a pandemic, a fascist self-coup attempt, and the accelerating collapse of the biosphere to keep my mind off my problems.

Grew my hair, grew a moustache, moved house, got my wife pregnant. Those are probably the main things.
Wooooo! Congratulations!!
I grew many more grey hairs, shaved my beard off to facilitate FFP3 mask fitting (thanks for the Merkur Futur tip, FM tmidyett_archive), quit drinking, replaced alcohol with kratom, quit kratom, and got my wife pregnant.
I also bought my dream guitar, not that I've had much of a chance to play it recently....

Got to watch my wife bloom into this new phase of life. Very inspired by her right now.

Thank you, and the same to you! Must be something in those square sausage rolls…

Lost a dear friend to complications of cancer
Lost my mom to a long battle w/ cancer
Got furloughed for a couple weeks
Was one of the "essential" workers at our office (located in the university library - spent a lot of time wondering why the heck certain folks studying weren't wearing masks). But yeah, lots of time in an office inside a pretty empty library...
Did my radio show each week remotely from home
Took care of an aging dachshund w/ Cushing's Disease
Cooked a lot
Stress-ate a lot of peanut butter and crackers in the middle of the night
Hiked a ton through parks in and around Louisville
Read Cosey Fanni Tutti's autobiography - read sci-fi (currently digging Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin)
Got tested repeatedly for COVID - got my vaccine
Received a guitar for my birthday built by my best friend
Listened to a ton of Protonic Reversal podcast interviews - also: Jen Kirkman, Stuff You Should Know, The Trap Set, Radio Zero, Maron, Stuff They Don't Want you to Know,

I think most of my pandemic weight gain came from peanut butter. Slathering it on crackers and topping it with glops of honey. Washing it down with milk straight from the jug.

Hooo boy, for me it was standing at the counter in the dim stove light at 1 a.m. with a small dog staring up at me, hoping to get in on the snacking action - ha!

Such a good read - made me more of a C&C fan and less of a Gen fan.
