Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s staying as safe and sane as can be (while also fostering a healthy dose of anger that is being directed productively). I went outside a couple of times this week (once for a cookie haul), binged “Hannibal,” and it’s finally technically fall! Daily summaries below! Day One Hundred and Ninety (9/18/20) … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 28
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s staying as safe, healthy, and sane as they can. Did an Instagram live, watched lots of tennis, and have just been in a songwriting mindset all week. My genre is “anger,” and that’s fine by me. Daily summaries below! Day One Hundred and Eighty-Three (9/11/20) My brother-in-law came over to fix … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 27
Greetings, Internet! Well, we’ve made it to the half-year mark. I hope you’re staying as safe and sane as possible. This week I can finally share a song I wrote (here’s the SoundCloud link!), finished “The Umbrella Academy,” and finally got to see my bestie in person after six months of only seeing her on … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 26
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s staying as healthy and sane as they are able. It’s been a week. We lost Chadwick Boseman and Tom Seaver. Everything kind of pales in comparison to that, along with the other generally terrifying things that are happening on a near-daily basis. But I suppose I can report on the bright … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 25
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s as well as they can be. One of my reading groups came to an end, I learned how to harmonize, and I had my first weird covid dream! It involved Stephen Colbert for some reason? Oh, and it also involved a growing mountain that eventually consumed my high school. Like I … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 24
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s doing as well as they can. I got drunk and ordered a lot of chocolate, finally learned how to properly harmonize, and watched a lot of the DNC. Daily summaries below! Day One Hundred and Fifty-Five (8/14/20) And I’m down to 30 subscribers. Alas. Did arm workouts while watching “The Great … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 23
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s staying as safe and well as they can. I’ve been continuing to binge “The Great British Baking Show,” have eaten more pastries and pie slices than I normally do in a given week, and went outside TWICE (once for some much needed #triotime). Oh, and we’ve passed the one-hundred-and-fifty-day mark (yay?). … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 22
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s staying as healthy and safe as they can. Baseball is still around (for now), I am still all about the music (in part because I am dreading the coming semester), and power surges led to an interesting couple of hours battling with my HVAC unit. Daily summaries below! Day One Hundred … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 21
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s doing as well as they can. Baseball is back, and the Mets are doing exactly as probably everyone expected, but perhaps that won’t matter because there’s already an MLB ‘Rona outbreak, so, just going to enjoy baseball while it lasts. I also recorded a new demo (eep!), got to see my … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 20
Greetings, Internet! Hope everyone’s doing as well as they can. I’m continuing to juggle two reading groups, music, and oh, BASEBALL IS BACK. I’m also trying to find a volunteer tutor service that could use a tutor. I figure my skill set is basically just writing and college counseling, but if anyone has any recommendations … Continue reading Self-Isolation Diaries – Week 19
