Tuesday night. Another week is flying by…

In today’s culinary adventures: I already knew that a microwaved sweet potato is pretty good (especially if you go postal with a fork on it to keep it from exploding), but ye gods, a sliced microwaved sweet potato with sourcream and green onion is absolutely amazing. It makes for a very sloppy meal, but it’s about as good as you can get with a microwave and seven minutes.

Still not a whole lot going – just putting in my 8.5 hours at work, then escaping into the beautiful world of Elder Scrolls Online. The writing, the voice acting, the visuals – I’m in love.

In covid news: Bolsonaro officially has covid. According to him, though, it’s just like minor flu. Heh. Brazil has more covid casualties than any other country in the world aside from the US. (We’re #1! We’re #1) I can’t help thinking that a lot of that is due to his handling of the pandemic.

Elsewhere… Tucson, Arizona is out of ICU beds, and the mayor said they may have to move patients to other states. As far as I know, that’s unprecedented – and means Arizona is officially a failed state. (In her defense, mayor Romero seems to have done everything right.) More hospitals in Florida are running out of ICU beds: the last tally I saw was 43 ICU-less hospitals. Florida still won’t release current covid numbers. Parts of California will shut down all bars and indoor dining again, while a county in Texas will start arresting folks with covid who insist on going out. Donald Trump’s son’s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, has been diagnosed with covid.

Things will keep getting crazier before they get better…
