karaoke night @ the Overlook Hotel
good evening and bienvenue everyone.
its day X of the quarantine and honestly, i think i’ve lost all track of time. i no longer think, just simply do. so i wake up, i pee, i log on for work. when my tummy revs like a Honda Odyssey, that’s when i know its lunch time. then i log back on and keep going until my stomach begins to backfire also much like a Honda Odyssey and that’s when i know its time to relieve myself. then i log on again until i breakdown completely like a recently divorced mother at the helm of a Honda Odyssey after having picked up her son Beckett and his friends Judge, Captain, and Hawk from soccer practice. they all play for the Garland Guppies and they’ve recently been handed their 7th loss of the season at the hands of the Flower Mound Frenchies. Beckett’s mother has been extremely disappointed at their continued losses as it will likely hurt Beckett’s chances at getting into an overrated ivy league school and she of course wants to prove herself the better parent over Beckett’s father, River, who recently married a hot young model / law grad / UN diplomat fresh out of UCLA and well onto her way to making partner at the law firm of Grubman Grubman & Grubbs (or GGG as all the L1s in the know call it).
ANYWAYS back to our regularly scheduled programming.
i’ve told a couple of you of this but a good way to gauge how the rest of your town / parish is coping with an emergency say a flood, hurricane, blizzard, global pandemic, etc. is to go search Personal Ads on Craigslist. really gives you a sense of how other people in your vicinity are handling. let’s take a look at NYC for instance.
hmmmm…not what i was looking for. was hoping for something a little more related to our current situation.
again. not quite was i was looking for. also, anti-semitic??? let’s give this ONE more shot.
this is what i’m talking about. wholesome coronavirus relationship seeking. love it.
its insane how well this syncs up.
this is a really good read by Texas Monthly on H-E-B’s pandemic planning. H-E-B and Waffle House are some of the only regional chains that have Emergency Preparedness Dept’s. wild that these corporations had better plans and systems in place to handle a pandemic that most city or state gov’t’s.
wild that the DNC’s chosen heir to make a play at the throne has essentially gone off the radar during this crisis. and the few media appearances he’s made have been absolute horseshit.
wonder if it’s got anything to do w/ this undercovered story picked up by Katie Halper on her WBAI NY radio show (tw: sexual assault) and earlier reported by Ryan Grim @ The Intercept. really don’t know how the election is going to turn out but the Biden supporters are already going out of their way to minimize this story as much as possible.
the revolution will not be televised. it will actually begin at domino’s pizza (specifically the one @ Smith + Bergen. you guyz rock and don’t EVER fuckin change.)
and who will be our queen in this fight you ask???
sidebar: in case y’all didn’t know, Britney has been under a legal conservatorship the last couple of years. essentially, after her mental breakdown, she was placed under the conservatorship and her finances, as well as many personal decisions, are decided on by a group of conservators, one of which is her father. imo its fucked and there’s gotta be a better way that this but idk.
fat cat birthday!! gawd what an absolute unit. so chonk and kewt.
behold this unholy alliance.
“Jonah i loved war dogs”
an even more unholy statement.
this might be the best pop album of the year. hope y’all enjoy as much as i will.
Chilly Gonzales continues to astound with his artful breakdowns of modern pop by explaining why “bad guy” is just SO damn catchy.
nuthin but respect for Luda.
80s spanish pop really is something if you ask me.
and ending it tonight on some Kate Bush. love you all, love Kate Bush. you’re running up that road! you’re running up that hill! you’re running up that building!
amor y besos,
berto
ps: as some of y’all know, Trophy Bar is a very special place in my heart and right now they’re struggling to figure out how to make ends meet for the bartenders, cooks and barbacks who are out of work right now. if you have a little something to spare, take a moment to help out. link here.
