TET: And He who made kittens put snakes in the grass ...

I plan on going back and forth a few times in the next year so maybe.

You need an airline that can make the Joburg run in less than twelve parsecs.

The cost was cheap but the price was terrible. It’s so late the only thing I’ve done today is reach my uncles house and drink beer with him and my cousin. So good to be back though, and in the middle of winter which is wonder.

Welcome home

[Loeje]

I'm taking it as a reminder that it's actually bad. The news led me to believe that if I get infected, being triple vaccinated, I would have next to no symptoms. But it's actually pretty unpleasant.

People do tend to believe this, and I've struggled to convince them otherwise; despite being relatively young, healthy and recently vaccinated it did hit me like a bad flu and I spent the majority of a week in bed and basically not eating more than a very minimal amount of food. This was with the "harmless" Omicron BA.1 variant and counts as a "mild" case. BA.2, the currently dominant strain, is significantly harder on the body, so prepare accordingly.

I did manage to completely recover within 7-10 days and have no long covid symptoms, or any other lasting effects except weight loss, which in retrospect (looking at the various studies on post-covid effects in general) I'm very thankful for.

A nurse told me yesterday that I shouldn't regret getting vaccinated, and I honestly don't. Once I can get a fourth dose, I will. But I do feel kind of betrayed by the messaging around vaccination, because I definitely had a few moments over the last couple of days when I was actually scared that I was going to die. That's apparently also a mild case, but I guess I'm scared more easily in general, so my experience doesn't mean much.

It's a weird virus, though. I don't think I've ever experienced anything like it before.

I wouldn't recommend getting it again.

I don’t mean to frighten you but if your having a bad experience having had three vaccines then your experience would have likely been even worse had you had none.

Don't understand what they're saying. This is my favorite video.

Why is the name "Bob" so funny? From Top Gun Mavorik to many comedy shows, there's a character who's usually called "Bob" for comedic reasons. Why is there just something inherently funny about the name "Bob"?

When I worked in the bookstore at my first college, I had a manager named Bob. He had a hobby of going to bars and performing covers of Jimmy Buffet and the Beach Boys songs and went by the stage name "Island Bob."

Also, in the 2016 election he came back from voting and asked if we were all going to vote before saying "I voted and I hope he wins" with the utmost unironic confidence. Found out later he'd voted for Gary Johnson.

So yeah, my life experience with a guy named Bob confirms people named Bob are just jokes.

It is a name so simple, so generic, it's a fill-in effectively for any corporate infomercial, classroom math problem, and comedy show fill-in name to avoid legal issues. It transcends any boundaries.

Bob is love. Bob is life.

Any of you have an obscure music genre you like?

For me, it's early early 80's to early 90's post-liberalization music, as the leaders of the USSR began to liberalize the art sphere and make it more open, at least to western standards. My favorite is one on Gorbachev and how it's lyrics are saying on how one needs a home so they don't need to wear underwear or pants.

Listening to obscure music? Can’t imagine doing that.

*singing quietly to myself*

So it's smokes out, look there by the landin'
The ferry's come back. Saddle up. Come away.
And it's fare ye well ye green hills of Harmony,
For all the poor Dorsai are leavin'

This has been said many times, but here it is again.

I do love how we as humans have relatively robust body for most situations, like you know one of those things; you feel like you would get a lot of pain, but nope, you shrugged it off like a champ.

.... then you sleep wrong for as little as 30 minutes, then OW my neck!

Everything related to sleep makes me wonder if I am built incorrectly than a normal human is lol

I have to put up one of those muscle ache patches because it hurts quite a fair lot when I turn my head right or down. >,<

Funny thing is that I don't remember having a bad sleeping position last night. I mean yeah, I sometimes would lie down wherever and okay, that would have been on me. This time is a mystery.

People probably consider the majority of the music in my audiotheque obscure, which is just fine by me.
