COVID-19

[Drunk Monk]

I confess that I'm not as confident in my hotness as Greg. I got my 2nd booster just now as I was waiting for my new Rx to be filled. 

Everything is fine.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

I dispute the "Hotness" theory.

I got my shingles shot and my second booster 2 days apart, *same arm*.

I'm so fucking macho.

[Drunk Monk]

Nah, nah... Greg is hot. It's the men-o-paws. 

DM is hawt. 

HAWT!

I'm up for my shingles shot but I'm going to put it off until after Cali Roots and MercNRet. Next week maybe and I'll join the shingles shot club. 

Quien es mas macho? 

Not me. Nope.

Everything is fine.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

When you sign off with “Everything is fine” are you channeling the meme with the hat-wearing dog sitting in a burning room?

Or are you just now getting around to Quaalude abuse?

[Drunk Monk]

If I was channeling that dog, it would be a misquote.


Then there's the 'It’s Fine. I’m Fine. Everything is Fine!' which is probably what I was thinking of. Not sure who said that first - the interwebz debate that. 

Not sure why I'm ending all my posts today with this, but it's working for me right now.

Everything is fine.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

I figured the quote was close enough by Santa Cruz journalism "standards"

We're all fine here...how are you?

[Drunk Monk]

Ha! Well, I have yet to go there, but yeah, fine.

Everything is fine.

[Drunk Monk]

I got my 2nd booster just now as I was waiting for my new Rx to be filled. 

Now my deltoid is sore and I've got excessive tinglies in my shot arm (although I can just barely feel those over my neuropathy). Might have a slight headache. Maybe that's the whiskey...

And I'm tweakin fiercely. Wide awake and it's nearly 1AM. That part really hurts.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Embrace it; paint your bungalow. Write an opera.

I was up past 4:00am yesterday, so I’m turning in now. I got a lot of reading done. I REGRET NOTHING!

Also, I was binging the latest Ghost in the Machine.

I hear that you can do some pretty good writing when you're in the right mindset...

Sweethearts by Camper Van Beethoven

'Cause he's always living back in Dixon
Stuck in 1949
And we're all sitting at the fountain, at the five and dime

'Cause he's living in some B-movie
The lines they are so clearly drawn
In black and white life is so easy
And we're all coming along on this one

'Cause he's on a secret mission
Headquarters just radioed in
He left his baby at the dancehall
While the band plays on some sweet song

And on a mission over China
The lady opens up her arms
The flowers bloom where you haved placed them
And the lady smiles, just like mom

Angels wings are icing over
McDonnell-Douglas olive drab
They bear the names of our sweethearts
And the captain smiles, as we crash

'Cause in the mind of Ronald Reagan
Wheels they turn and gears they grind
Buildings collapse in slow motion
And trains collide, everything is fine
Everything is fine
Everything is fine

One of my friends from High School has come down with Covid. She reached out to her FB community to see what could be done to alleviate the symptoms. People responded with suggestions about prayer, deep breathing, and some OTC medications.

I said paxlovid, the actual cure for Covid. JFC.

[Greg]

I'm taking a Covid test today because of being around so many people at middle sister's party.

[Greg]

Still too hot for Covid.

[Drunk Monk]

Dammit.

Both Tara and I just tested positive.

[King Bob]

Well, the photos of the afterparty looked like a superspreader event
