Man, I’m getting forgetful. I’ve said it before, but it just keeps getting chucked in my face. The other day I wrote about some people who thought the world was ending. When I was looking around for something else, I found this post with nearly an identical title, from nearly 10 years ago to the …

I Want A Coronavirus For Christmas
No, I don’t have a death wish. Let me explain. First, imagine singing the “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” song, but pronouncing Coronavirus like “Corin avris”. That’s how one of our screen-readers pronounces Coronavirus. Steve and I have gotten so used to pronouncing it that way that we have to make sure we say …
The New Themes In My COVID Dreams
A while back, I said that I was having anxiety-filled COVID dreams. I am having less of those, but I have noticed that my dreams have changed. I guess they would be new-age COVID dreams. Now, they’re less terrifying and more sad. They point out all the little things that I miss, or think might …
Virtual Fireworks
I got word about this and I can’t decide if it’s pretty neat or neat with a touch of creepy. But still, it’s mostly neat. Because we can’t have throngs of humanity smushing into parks and watching the fireworks, the government of Canada decided to put on a virtual display. On July 1, wherever you …
Your Outlook Is Like A Prison That You’re In
A friend sent me this song and encouraged me to tear it to pieces. Don’t mind if I do. Here are the lyrics, so we can rip this thing apart in new and creative ways. Maybe I don’t speak too well but I’m coming outta my shell And I like playing by myself if you …

Touchy About Touch
I read an article about how this new physically distant life kind of sucks for blind people, and although I don’t agree with all of it, he definitely has some good points. He very clearly explains the constant anxiety I feel when I’m out and about and might bump someone, have to touch elevator buttons, …
It’s The End Of The World As We Know It?
So now, some weirdo is saying that because of a mathematical error, the Mayans actually predicted that the world will end today. It won’t, but the way things are going this year, if I was a little easier to scare, I might believe it.
MURDER HORNETS!
I had never heard of the Holderness Family, but this will be my second video of theirs I’m posting today, and they have many many many many more. These people are hilarious. But this video needs to be the anthem for 2020. It is perfect. Even before the MURDER HORNETS! and the Coronavirus, Steve and …
Dealing With Masks If You Can’t Hear
I saw this article about masks causing communication problems for people with hearing loss, and I thought I would pass it on. I expected lip-reading would be a problem, but I hadn’t considered facial expressions, which was a total duh moment. I think this article does a good job of explaining the problem and giving …
A Song About The Woes Of Zoom
A friend sent me this the other day and I laughed, laughed and laughed. Thankfully, I work with people who know how to work their Zoom since we often have to meet with people in other offices, so most of these things don’t happen to us, but when I was less familiar with Zoom, there …
