tracker7Yay for seasonal allergies during a respiratory disease pandemic. I'm sneezy and have far too much mucus for anything that isn't a hagfish. Hell, I'm sure I've been exposed to the virus, between still working and my needy housemate going over to his needy fucking girlfriend's place like nothing is nothing.
We lost John Prine yesterday to COVID-19. WFPK is playing tons of his music today, as is the way of things. All the adjectives - gifted, prolific songwriter, you name it - he was something special.
I miss my parents and my friends and Friday night gaming. I know this will pass, and thank goodness for phones and carefully-curated social media, but man, I miss these people. I'm sure it's worse for the extroverts and people-persons, but they can just deal with it, the same way the rest of us have to deal with their nonsense in normal times.
Terraforming Mars is pretty great on the iPad. A game takes about an hour to play, and while I haven't won a game yet, I find myself not caring because the thing is so much fun. It does make me want to get the tabletop original, though, since it can be played solo.
Conversely, I picked up Civilization 6 for PS4, and I think I could have gotten just as much entertainment out of setting those three twenties on fire.
