so THIS is cool — i almost got in a mask fight last night with ross’s uncle? he basically shamed me for keeping my mask on while we were outside, and then started talking about how we can’t shut down the economy, we have to “go to war” with the virus and i was like, what does that even mean? and ALSO what do you think we’re all doing right now by wearing masks, being socially distanced, working, taking all these precautions? that IS going to war. and yet here you are shaming me for doing exactly (in theory) what you’re saying we have to do? so are you actually suggesting “going to war” is “living like normal”???? i was seeing RED. i have no chill these days. it’s not great. it’s actually terrible. also in other news i’m basically blind, i recognize no one when i’m walking or biking around, so new-old strategy is just wave/smile at everyone but i know this has to be backfiring on me in some way.

rooting for the heat in these finals. i love lebron but enh, the lakers, can’t get behind ’em. and while the heat aren’t exactly perennial underdogs, they’re scrappier and i love jimmy butler and bam adebayo. i’m going to be so sad when the nba season is over, though ultimately will be good for school.

desperately avoiding my (14-page, unstarted) paper that’s due tomorrow so instead considering all the ways in which i am revealing myself to be QUITE old:

  • haven’t been able to easily diagnose the problem with my blog’s images — OLD PERSON
  • took pictures of all the bruises on my legs (there’s like — 22?) — OLD PERSON
  • watching sleepless in seattle sounds relaxing — OLD PERSON
  • now have jowls (recent photo) — O.P.!!!!
