Probably 'cos the crows are stringy, clever, and travel in murders. Pigeons are fat and dumb.

Governor Gavin "Gruesome" Newsome shut the State of California down again, except instead of going by counties, it's by "regions". I can't wait to see how closely those "regions" correlate with electoral districts. We also get to see $100mil of aid get shuffled over to corporations again, and watch as none of it reaches small businesses. We can also watch as he and every other politician in this godforsaken country lays down rules for "thee, not for me".
I would be 100% on board with a shelter-in-place again IF there were an actual reliable way for people to not get completely fucked over by it. Like. I want this virus to fuck off back to the hole it came from, regardless where that may be, but starvation can kill just as easily, and I've already gotten pretty fuckin close to it this year. Last time this SIP shit went down, it was 4-5 months before unemployment even got back to me. And I still had to verify the weeks where my working hours were reduced due to Rona.
At least Melissa and I are doing well. We've been going on long drives, and long walks in open spaces. Changing up the scenery. I've been practicing more guitar. I had a little hiccup with the practice routine a couple weeks ago when I was making a crème brulee at work and accidentally dripped melted sugar on my left hand index finger. (Let me tell you, that shit might as well be kitchen napalm. Holy fuck that hurt.) Didn't stop me for long though. Slapped a bandage on that shit and powered through it. Learned how to play the guitar part to "Say So" by Doja Cat, much to Melissa's delight (she fucking loves that song and that artist).
Oh yeah, guitar nerds: I bought my first Fender Stratocaster recently. It's the Vintera 60s Strat in ice blue. It is way too fucking good for words. I'll post pictures in the appropriate thread.

I'll add "Kitchen Napalm" to my list of potential band names.

So I went to Burger King (I know, bad) and decided to get the Impossible Whopper and try it. With a tag line like "100% whopper, 0% beef" and people saying they can't taste the difference, I have always wanted to try it. I never did because I was worried that I wouldn't like it and feel scammed for having bought it and so would stuck to my regular. Today I mustard up the courage and got it. I wish I could say it tasted like a whopper, but sadly I think this place doesn't gets many impossible whopper orders, because whomever prepared mine, burnt it. Now to its credit, it did taste like a burnt burger, and not say a burnt anything else, but it just didn't taste like a whopper. Probably because it was burnt. I am hesitant on trying it again in hopes of getting a correctly cooked one, since I may just get another burnt burger. What gets me about it is I think the people there knew they burnt the burger and instead of just throwing it out and trying again, they tried to cover it up by putting extra mayo and half a head of lettuce on it.
tl;dr: I got cheated out of a possible good impossible burger by a terrible fry cook.
