No Warning

If there are people who actually need to be told to refrain from injecting bleach into their body, am I really doing them a favour by warning them?

Dry Quarantine

I read an article from this expert psychologist who suggested one shouldn't drink while in quarantine during this very stressful time.

It wasn't explained why he gave up his job as a standup comedian, but he's clearly very good at it. Especially these days we could all use a good laugh.

Quarantine advisor? Not so much.

I Miss My Dentist

I miss my dentist.

The smell of burning tooth enamel. The curvy plastic chair with the headrest that bends my spine in unnatural ways. Answering questions with mmmmmfhgmmfmmhgfdm.

I use to want to instill in her the pain she so effortlessly cast upon me. Imagine Lord Voldemort with a dental degree. Now she's a long lost love. Imagine The Notebook. (Unfortunately, I'm not Ryan Gosling)

How can it be I was so lucky to get out? Now I'm doing everything possible to qualify for emergency dental care and visit someone without getting a socializing ticket. Timbits chased with coke.

I need to feel something. I need pain. Can you drill just a bit deeper? I don't wanna go home.

I miss my mechanic, too. He rotates my tires as I rotate my credit cards to pay for it. I need a new engine? Fine. Just please take 12 hours to do it. I don't wanna go home.

Other fun things I miss: lining up to renew my licence; buying my wife lady products; walking by Victoria's Secret and feigning disinterest; running into old high school friends; using a public washroom on the TTC.

I miss the good old days.

Overcrowded

This city is getting harder and harder to move around in.

Yesterday I was walking down the sidewalk and, using my peripherals, I spot someone 4 kilometres away, heading straight for me. Good thing I had quality binoculars to confirm the sighting.

Jesus, I thought. Not another person. Shoulder to shoulder again.

Give me some space, dude.

I had 1 kilometre to figure out how I was going to navigate this near miss. Now I know how the Captain of the Titanic felt.

Why don't they stay home like everyone else?

For a second. Even less than a second, really. I thought maybe I should play Covid chicken with them. See who blinks first and crosses the street. I decided it was too soon to do something like this.

Turns out it was a mirage, associated with spending long days at home watching plants grow and videos on how they actually manufacture toilet paper. (it's a really loooong roll that they chop into smaller rolls)

Still. Gettin' damn crowded.

Entertaining Ideas

Last night I had a big party and entertained some new ideas. Some of them got really drunk, puked on my computer and fell asleep on the couch. How do I tell them they were terrible ideas?

I guess that's what I get for entertaining new ideas. Never again! I have lots of old ideas that I get along with really well. They're so predictable.

Oh sure, I might have a thought over for a short visit. Perhaps a notion, although I've rejected a lot of notions in the past. One time a concept came to visit, took some ecstasy and turned into reality. Scary.

Never have a brainstorm over for dinner. Very messy.

I once had a fling with an inkling, but it went nowhere.
