Hey, me from the past.
Bad news, we end up getting COVID during a trip. Someone removes our mask and breathes in our face for 20+ minutes during a massage while our eyes are covered. Yup, sucks, but it happens. Ends up spreading to Brandon and our Mom. Pretty much wrecks the vacation. The good news is we survive. Thankfully we were all vaccinated and boosted (Mom double-boosted.) |

It's been two years, fuck it. I don't even remember what the questions were.
What was the last... ...thing you ate? - A bowl of ramen I made with two packets of instant, Korean black garlic, and cayenne pepper. ...person you talked to on the phone? - A guy from L.A. Public Health. He called this morning to see how I was doing after testing positive for COVID last week. ...person you e-mailed/private messaged? - The cruise line from our vacation. I've written two consumer letters since Tuesday and still haven't heard back. ...person you hugged? - Brandon. ...person you kissed? - Brandon. ...time you laughed? - Uhhhh . . . *Thinks* I was probably reading something scrolling through Facebook. *Shrug* ...time you cried? - Saturday. Having my cat euthanized in my arms. Fucking hell . . . ...movie you watched? - That "Elvis" movie. It's on HBO Max. Otherwise, the ONLY thing I've seen in a theater in the last three years was "Jurassic World: Dominion" when it came out. ...TV show you watched? - The first episode of the new season of "Rick & Morty." ...DVD you watched? - Eh . . . I haven't watched a DVD in a fucking age. Apparently I wrote "Death Proof" when I filled this out two years ago, so that's probably it. ...song you listened to? - Spotify is currently playing "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You" by Tom Waits. ...book you finished? - "Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History" by Bill Schutt. ...heart-to-heart you had with someone? - Probably Brandon. ...person you met? - Uh . . . probably someone on the cruise. People kept knowing me since I stick out like a sore thumb on cruises, which are mostly senior citizens. And here I am with magenta hair and a devil-may-care attitude as they stare at me disgusted. ...person who died in your life? - Tiki. Thanks for reminding me. ...new food you tried? - Let's just go with reindeer sausage since that was every-fucking-where in Alaska. ...new thing you tried (event, action)? - Tried this coffee I had brought home from Alaska, Three-Peckered Goat. ...time you went around the house in just your underwear? - Not quite sure. I have to run from the bathroom to my room, constantly. ...time you weren't fully sober? - Um . . . I think it was the last day we spent in Bosnia. Bran and I were drinking a lot of moonshine with our guide, Bart. ...you "geeked" out? - I suppose watching the theories and easter egg videos about this latest episode of "Rick & Morty." ...thing you read in the bathroom? - My current bathroom book is "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn. ...bargain you made? - Eh . . . got something on sale off Hot Topic's website. *Shrug* I don't rightly recall. ...thing you planned? - Making some plans now, but I feel like whenever I talk about ANYTHING that's upcoming, it JINXES it. I don't even write down plans in pen, EVER, nowadays. I've become superstitious. ...award you won? - I think I got Employee of the Month for New Orleans Square or something before pandemic started at Disney. ...piece of toast you had? - Shit. No clue. I ate biscuits in Fairbanks, Alaska, last week? ...present you gave? - Ordered a bunch of painting supplies for Mom for her birthday, since she wants to try it out. ...porno you saw? - Well, I apparently answered that I don't remember the last time I even watched porn, and that's still true. I do read risque fan fiction, but even that's been a while. ...song you sang in the shower? - Still don't sing in the shower. ...song you had stuck in your head? - Can't recall. Maybe an Andrew WK song? Ninja Sex Party? I dunno. ...thing you marked on your calendar? - Been filling in the Alaska trip's details in marker now that they've passed. ...errand you ran? - Well . . . we took Tiki to the vet on Saturday, after a week of isolating at home for a week. ...drink you had? - Diet ginger ale. ...cool thing you found? - Samovar tea at the Kobuk, I think? I dunno. We've been brought to all kinds of places lately. ...time you brushed your hair? - Yesterday or the day before? ...person you talked to over AIM, YIM, etc? - Wow . . . blast from the past. The only thing I use even remotely like this is Facebook Messenger. I think Shannon was the last person to message me. ...thing you bought? - I impulse bought a dress off the internet, but I could have sent Bran to the store for soda since then. ...game you played? - Word games on the NY Times website. Jeez, that's what I wrote two years ago too. ...new place you visited? - Alaska. Got back last week. ...thing you celebrated? - Uh . . . I got my co-worker, who's since left to work elsewhere, a cake that read "YOU ARE DEAD TO US" in icing. ...dream you had? - I passed out and took a nap and had a really vivid dream I can't remember. It was another one about thinking there were more floors to my house than there are and wondering why I don't use all that space? Yeah, I don't fucking know either. ...thing you dressed up for? - Tried to put together a Christmas-y look for a thing during the Alaska trip. ...website you visited outside of the board? - Facebook, probably. ...thing you really wanted, but couldn't get? - . . . More time with my cat. That's just the most recent thing. My dad also passed away in the last year. I miss him all the time. ...movie you watched that you thought was underrated? - Well, that's a good question. What's the latest Nicholas Cage movie? Whatever it is, THAT. ...stage (concert, play, etc) show you saw? - That would be Tenacious D, with Puddles Pity Party opening for them. Or . . . is it Shakespeare in the Park? Fuck. I think it was that. ...time you visited family? - Spent Thanksgiving weekend with my cousin's family. My aunt went with us to Europe a few months ago. ...exercise you did? - Walking around. But not for exercise. ...vacation you took? - Just got back from Alaska.

Fact: I learned today that you can still test positive on a PCR test if you've had COVID three months ago. Ugh . . . have to find a place to get Rapid Tested for work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It astonishes me how many of my co-workers thought my husband had HIS BALLS CUT OFF when I mentioned he'd gotten a vasectomy. Like Jesus fuck. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I've been going through Reader's Block. I've got a MASSIVE to-be-read pile and I'm in the middle of like 5 books? But still can't buckle down and finish shit.
Currently reading: - "The Dark Queens: The Bloody Rivalry That Forged the Medieval World" by Shelley Puhak - "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn - "The Real Vampires: Death, Terror, and the Supernatural" by Richard Sugg - "True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee" by Abraham Riesman - "See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Violence" by Jess Hill - "Historical Dictionary of Sexspionage" by Nigel West Jesus. And I'm just doing crossword puzzles on my phone. |

Originally posted by Elara Oh, indeed. I've written two angry consumer letters and have received NO RESPONSES. Not even a form letter saying it's been received and that they will get back to me shortly. |

Yep. It kept happening to Rey, the former bass player from Brandon's first band. He would report the plate missing and then when cops ran his plate they'd pull their guns on him because they'd mistake the report for the whole damn car being stolen.
Happened to Bran and me once on our way into Arizona. The shitty car he got from a friend had a plate reported stolen, even though it was attached. *Shrugs* Cops pulled guns on us and everything right before we got to the Colorado River. Total pain in the ass. Fact: Even though I don't have COVID any more, my throat is still raspy and wheezing when I'm trying to lay in bed and just breathe. Taking Mucinex for it now. |

Hm. I know I've heard some insane shit before, but my brain is not alerting me to them at the moment.
|
I mean, I've had all kinds of shit stolen. When we got our car broken into in San Francisco, they got our suitcase and camera. But the thing that we couldn't recover was my Haunted Mansion CM-exclusive tote bag that had a couple toiletries and a bag of cookies, one of them being half of a chocolate-covered macaroon in the shape of a penis. OK, wait, just thought of something. Most WTF thing I've heard about getting stolen: Julia Pastrana. So there was this woman, Julia Pastrana. She was an indigenous Mexican woman living with Hypertrichosis, which is the condition where a person has hair ALL OVER their body. Full face and everything. She also had very pronounced lips and brow and ended up being put on stage as "The Baboon Lady" among other things. He manager was a guy who married her just to keep showcasing her in sideshows. She had a baby with him and then she and the baby died. But then this asshole husband of hers had her and THEIR SON . . . TAXIDERMIED. So yeah, he's still dragging her around and putting her on display and in the meantime he married ANOTHER woman who was ALSO living with Hypertrichosis. At some point thieves broke in and vandalized the baby's body, which was then destroyed by rats and mice, and Julia's body was freaking stolen. I first heard about this some years back while reading about sideshow acts, which is one of my weird interests. Fucking tragic. What is the best way to make a s'more?

Just got my second booster. Had to get the Pfizer one since there's been a chain shortage of Moderna. I opted to NOT get a flu shot with it, because I know how that took me out for three days.
|
It's been six hours so far and no ill effects. I probably just jinxed it, but *shrug*

Just watched the new "Hocus Pocus." Since it was more about the witches, I liked it, generally. Certainly more than the original when it came to the scenes that were just the kids. When it comes to the original, I can only watch scenes that have the Sanderson Sisters in them. The Omri Katz and Thora Birch stuff is unwatchable.
|
My FB is full of people bitching and moaning about the Rob Zombie "Munsters" movie as well. Apparently no Marilyn or Eddie Munster is a deal breaker for some people. It's a corny movie that has its moments, but yeah, it's just a fan-made prequel as far as I'm concerned.

Originally posted by Elara . . . I can't breathe. AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Fact: I've spent the past three and a half days in bed because my body was so achy from the second booster.

Y'all, it's been HOT and it's supposed to be fall. We got surprise rain for ONE day a couple weeks ago, but then it's been 90 degrees. |

I know I SHOULD start "Last of Us," but I'm waiting for season 1 to end then will binge it.
|
Not much that I'm watching that's currently putting out new episodes other than "Bob's Burgers" and hate-watching the American version of "Ghosts." Still on the re-watching Markiplier videos train.

That's actually a really good question because I'm a texture-eater. I might not like something, but if it's got a texture I like, I may end up eating all of it. There are TONS of foods I won't eat for texture reasons. Uhhhh . . . let's see. I can't stand boba. I just don't like the idea of something solid and chewy in my drink.

Hm, I love refried beans, but hate whole pinto or black beans. Chipotle bums me out. Conversely, I love apples, hate apple sauce. On that same vein, hate potato skins in my mashed potatoes (if they're made with russet potatoes. Red and yellow are fine.) I LOVE peaches, but can't STAND mushy ones. If I'm eating fish and find a bone, I'm not going to touch any more of it. I despise overly firm pasta, which I'm sure is making my Italian ancestors roll in their graves. And yeah, I can't stand most shellfish. I pick clams out of clam chowder. What did you think about the last book you read?

It's been raining here, which is leaving a lot of people confused and upset. Hah.
|
Played in the snow today following the blizzard that tore through the area. California weather has been lit.

Update: still haven't heard back from the cruise line.

Had to get tested last week, which is a novelty at this point. I'm glad I'm finally passing PCR tests again, because tracking down a free rapid place is a bitch. Happy I can just pop by my insurer to get this shit done. Anyway, after months of staff and clients popping positives, suddenly we have to get tested for two weeks again after the latest one. |
