RE: Sheltering in Place - cranefly - 06-04-2020
Dueling dentists today, and wouldn't you know it, I forgot my banjo.
Got a call from the office asking if I might please please please be able to move my appmt from 9:30 to 11:00 (to accommodate the dentist after a cancellation). Sure, why not. Waited this long.
Do I even remember how to drive?
More importantly, does the Prius still have its catalytic converter? (There's been a rash of thefts in Mountain View; older Priuses are a big target. And we cannot see our driveway from any window in the house.)
Hope the Marina dentist goes well.
Better mosey out to the driveway to have a look.
RE: Sheltering in Place - Greg - 06-04-2020
I think Rob Sheffield over at Rolling Stone Was channeling his inner DM when he wrote this article about missing live music.
Life without Live. For the full article
Quote:Every night I dream about going out to hear music. The bands in my sleep are terrible, but I’m always sorry when I wake up and it’s over. The other night I dreamed I stood in a Brooklyn basement watching a god-awful punk band called “Bestie.” The singer pogo’d on the floor and read the words off her phone. Actual lyric: “Fetchin Bones sang [i]Cabin Flounder[/i]/Wish I lost her but I found her/Now I want a quarter pounder.” How humiliating to think that this is the best my unconscious brain can conjure up. But I still missed that music when the morning came.
When you’re a passionate music fan in a pandemic, you look for consolation in the songs you love. As always, music is the shelter from the storm. But music is also the storm. The songs you love might promise you a safe refuge, a little peace of mind. But you already know the songs are going to mess you up, ravage your heart, remind you of faces you miss and loud times you’re not having and weird places you’d rather be. Living with music these days can be total agony. Living without it? Merely impossible.

Fort Mason is almost always pleasant. You and the Fort have history, as I recall.
Holy Crap! The Gummint just sent me some $. The UI payments for contractors actually came through!
RE: Sheltering in Place - Drunk Monk - 06-04-2020
Cool that you got some govt cash back.
SF was depressing actually. Maybe it was my mindset, but seeing everything boarded up and the emptied streets was heartbreaking. There were people about, but not like normal. It was such a beautiful day - T-shirt weather in SF...the kind of day that's postcard perfect. We walked from Polk to North Beach and Chinatown, but I had to bail. I guess the impact of it just hit me hard to see the city so affected.
RE: Sheltering in Place - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 06-05-2020
That's a good walk. I've been enjoying the Omega Man city.
RE: Sheltering in Place - Drunk Monk - 06-05-2020
Indeed. We imagined that locals would enjoy having the city to themselves, relatively tourist free. It did have some gleaming moments, like when we hiked some staircases to get over the hill (it was only about 3.5 miles of city walk but 30+ floors). Such glorious views - the city was shining. That made it worse for me however. It was me. All me. My head's not into it. Somehow, it became a grim reminder of how my life pivoted due to the pandemic. I apologized to Stacy for being such a downer. I don't know how she's tolerating me lately.
Day 77 (week 11 but I think I've messed up my count here because it's Friday and didn't this start on a Tuesday?): I have an Immortal meeting in an hour and a half. Should be short. Then there's a lot of ambiguity about my 5BU meeting but my Kung Fu nephew sent me a very encouraging email this morning saying I'm fully onboard. So there's hope.
RE: Sheltering in Place - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 06-05-2020
What’s a 5BU?
RE: Sheltering in Place - Drunk Monk - 06-05-2020
For DOOM not with the program...http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomForum/showthread.php?tid=5436&pid=38550#pid38550
RE: Sheltering in Place - Drunk Monk - 06-05-2020
Day 78 will start by me falling asleep. When I wake up again, I got nothing...
RE: Sheltering in Place - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 06-06-2020
I am with the program
RE: Sheltering in Place - Drunk Monk - 06-06-2020
Today has been spent outlining my first webinar for next weekend - http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomForum/showthread.php?tid=5436&pid=38592#pid38592
I had reached out to a Kung Fu nephew who had proposed getting together for some social distancing practice and whiskey at his place but he hasn't responded to my email or text.
Watched a live YouTube with Daniel Wu because he mentioned it when we were messaging the other day. Den of Geek is interested in the possibility of doing something like that with him after I mentioned that we had planned to do something for KFM before the video dept was disbanded. We'll see what becomes of that.
Now it's time for... snacks.
RE: Sheltering in Place - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 06-06-2020
I have just finished with The Snackening. I am fortified and can now suffer the endless minutes until...SUSHI!!!!
RE: Sheltering in Place - Drunk Monk - 06-06-2020
The SNACKENING!
Luv it.
I've been munching on a fresh Companion bakery loaf with fat slabs of butter, some mediocre leftover artichokes, an orange, and Stacy made popcorn (she was binging some Dublin-based 6 ep murder mystery show on Acorn but I decided to work on my outline and surf the web instead today).
I got some chips still. That maybe my snackening epilogue.
RE: Sheltering in Place - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 06-06-2020
Fresh bread? Slabs o butter? You may have defeated my Snackening. Raclette cheese and a fist full of peanuts for me.
RE: Sheltering in Place - Drunk Monk - 06-06-2020
A Fistful of Peanuts was my fav Yojimbo remake. It was a stroke of brilliance to reinterpret that classic Ronin tale as a mercenary circus clown playing Ringling Brothers against Cirque du Soliel.
Yeah, I'm outta cheese. Having a sad.
