Well, this is sure turning into an Oct 31 I'll never forget.

first I find Sean Connery is dead (RIP best James Bond)

and now I find out Playduim is closing up because they wen't bankrupt due to Covid!

and Trick or Treating is not advisable either, I understand why, but... UGH!! I'm the neighborhood Block King: Deemed best spooky decorated house on the block, and combined with my props and acting...

Last year, people saw me setting and said "Hey, there's our block king."

We've seen a lot of graphs like this, showing the total number of Covid-19 cases worldwide, like this graph from worldometers.info:

For every American who says your vote doesn’t matter, and that politics has no direct impact on your life...

Thanks to everyone who criticized my post on covid-19. I still think the analysis I made was well-justified, but it certainly wasn't clear, and didn't adequately deal with death rates.

I was rewriting the article to be more balanced and less conclusive when I was flummoxed by something no one pointed out, which should have been obvious from the beginning: The number of positive cases and deaths is already greater than predicted by the models.

During Covid? I figure I might as well just open up conversation for anyone who's interested. Curious if any of you have been doing better, doing worse, w/e. And see if I can't offer any words of support. Given I can't do any writing right now at all I figure I might as well check in for anyone who's interested.

For me, it was Pixar's Onward on March 6.

When it comes to memes about Australia, there are two broad categories of the way we respond. We either gently correct the misconception, or we steer into it at full throttle.

25 years of quietly telling the internet that kangaroos do not bound down the streets of our major cities. COVID-19 hits and this happens in Adelaide.

So I wake up and then get absolutely bodied with a flood of news. We've had enough October Surprises to last several election cycles already and it's barely even October! What comes next? What is the world coming to? Politics have gotten so insane that we have just had enough news for several weeks compressed into a single day. There is so much important stuff going on and so much bullshit that's it's really difficult to keep up with all this chaos! I deeply dread what awaits all of us

I don't believe it... but there it is...

At least she says she feels okay (She obviously was vaccinated)

And this is also a good eye-opener not to take things lightly. COVID IS NOT OVER, and just because you're vaxxed doesn't make you immune (But at least you can still fight it)

According to my mom, my Sister-in-law's sister's had it 4 times!

I've had to rewrite the chapter I am writing for the third, or maybe fourth time. The tone changed horribly, and I have shocked at it and myself. My story has never had violence before, and twice I have written the chapter with brutal content. Now to have it in stories is fine, but here it would be introducing Godzilla to the Teletubbies (except that sounds like a GREAT idea). Everyone watching would be like "where did That come from?"

It's getting pretty crazy out there, and it can be hard to tell fact from fiction on the Internet at the best of time. Holy's done us all a favor and compiled a very effective rundown of the coronavirus here. Keep reading this blog for something a bit more lighthearted.

It was the end of March and I felt weird. Not the normal weird that seems to follow me day in and day out but sick weird. Sometimes I felt warm, sometimes I had chills but mostly I was tired. So, I did the thing any normal person would do, I went to the doctor. However, if you guessed that I went to the beach and partied until I embarrassed all the teens and twenty somethings I'd have understood.

I am no longer sick!

I got infected with COVID-19 and been quarantined for several weeks now! Sorry about the lack of updates on my part.

Anyways... -sigh- Apparently me, my dad, and my brother have tested positive for COVID-19. :/

Thankfully we don't have any of the symptoms for it (mainly I still have a cough to deal with while my brother has a sore throat.). So we have to deal with 5 days of quarantining at home and then 5 days to wear a mask (or face shield in our cases).

Then we should be back to normal by then.

Since last week, I've been experiencing pain on my back, neck, and both of my arms. These have hindered me from getting a good night sleep. Every night, I applied different brands of liniment on the affected areas, as well as taking paracetamol to alleviate the pain, albeit temporarily. I began experiencing fatigue this week and it has hampered my daily routine. I don't know how long the side effects will last, but I will do the best I can to ease them with proper care and medication.

UGH!! I can't take this anymore!!

I NEED MY CONVENTION TIME!! (Just like the rest of you do, right?)

-I miss meeting new celebrities, paying them my dues and thanking them for all they do.

-I miss wearing my costume, and the camera time that goes with it. (That cosplay of mine got me MONEY from modeling in Magazine's and food commercials at the cons)
