Quarantine April 30, 2020
Day 49. A quiet day, here. Around the world, more Guinness World Records are being broken than ever before. More sponges in faces, more throws of a beach ball, the biggest Star Wars collection, it’s all happening. If aliens are … Continue reading

Quarantine Monday, April 27, 2020
I always wondered if I was going insane, would I realize it? I guess the world is wondering the same. In Italy, they’re going to be slowly lifting the quarantine restrictions (May 4th). I still don’t know how they’ll manage … Continue reading

Quarantine Friday, April 24th.
Remember that movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers? That’s what going out seems like these days. More on that in a bit, but first, the world… Osaka’s mayor drew criticism for saying the women are slow shoppers. While this may … Continue reading

Quarantine Wednesday, April 22, 2020
Based on yesterday’s cosmic alignments, I was expecting a good day full of rainbows, free gas, and rivers of chocolate flowing from the mountains. It didn’t quite go as I’d hoped. In the US, an autopsy found that the first … Continue reading

Quarantine Tuesday April 21st
Today I learned how to be a criminal. In the universe, (cuz we don’t always talk about the universe), the energy of the moon and Mercury will shift and bring goodness and light to everyone. I sure as hell hope … Continue reading

Quarantine Monday April 20th 2020
I’m late on this one but need to update everyone on the world – and share my biggest failure to date. In the outside world, oil hit -$37.63 a barrel. That’s insane. Utterly insane. It means you want a barrel … Continue reading

Quarantine Sunday, April 19, 2020
Happy Ukrainian Easter, everyone! “Khrystos Voskres!” “Voistynu Voskres” ****** I had a horrible realization yesterday, but it wasn’t about the world, it was about me. However, in the world, Canada and the US extended their border restrictions for 30 more … Continue reading

Quarantine Friday April 17th 2020
Day 36 of the quarantine and day 2 of my pepper plant experiment – and it’s still alive! (as are we.) Also, we tried something that could have ended in horrible death or mutilation. In the outside world, there were … Continue reading

Quarantine Wednesday April 15th 2020
Joy can come in the oddest ways these days. At 10am and 4pm, I was almost delirious with happiness. However, a lot more happened today than that. Outside our house, in New Zealand, their prime minister took a 20% pay … Continue reading

Quarantine Tuesday April 14th.
Nothing went as I thought it would, today, but that’s not always a bad thing (despite my need to control everything in a god-like way.) First, in the outside world – Boris Johnson, the English prime minister, is getting better. … Continue reading
