Today we topped the list of most confirmed infections.
We did it, guys!
We’re number one!!
Feels great. Feels… like I have fluid in my lungs.

Be safe, all.

I’m so sick of beans…

I’m going to be going live on Twitch playing some old songs and a few new
at 7:30 PM PST

WE NEED MORE BEANS.
These are the thoughts that repeat over and over
despite my girlfriend reminding me
we have a ten-pound bag of beans.
But what if there are no more beans, sweetie?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
What if this is the end of beans?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I’ve touched my face nine hundred thousand times.
In the name of conservation, I’ve eaten leftovers that will likely send me to the hospital
which is all kinds of stupid, but the leftovers have beans in them
and I’m not wasting any goddamn beans.
This is why everyone is hoarding toilet paper…
Bad beans.

I’ve just realized that there’s a little emoji robot
analyzing my tone and presenting me with an AI mood ring glimpse into my day.
(Just installed Grammarly)
It says my tone is
Disapproving
Sad
and Confused.
Touche, robot.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to make a quarantini*
and start an indoor bean farm.
* a quarantini is a regular martini but served with black olives because all you thought to buy at the store were black olives and now there are no more olives.
Oh God, we need more olives.
Organized an online game night with some friends.
Caught up with some folks on the phone.
Tried to stay as calm and normal as possible.
Later, my closest friends, my girlfriend and I will spend several hours
yelling at each other on Skype, accusing one another of being an alien
and trying to shoot people out of an airlock (“Push the Button” Jackbox 6)
digitally.
My friend’s dad, who is a doctor and a scientist
said that consuming alcohol can potentially lower bacterial and viral body loads.
I don’t know what any of that means, but what it feels like
in my heart of hearts
is that for the good of all my friends and loved ones
I have to get very, very drunk
and jettison my friends and loved ones into space
digitally.

A few weeks ago
when it was still okay to hug people
my friend Jeff bought me a microphone
trying to get me to take up music again.
Astute bloggers may have noticed
I very briefly posted a message yesterday
about how I would be playing some songs on Twitch
and then deleted that post very quickly
due to some unexamined shame/confidence issues.
Now, I have nothing but time to examine/confront
said shame/confidence issues.
So won’t you join me,
Saturday March 21st at 7:30 PST
for a little Quarantine Concert?
I’ll be playing some old songs on a dusty guitar
maybe a few new.
Hope to see you there.
Stay safe everyone.
