Want a Laugh?

@Blacktresscomedy on Instagram.  #CoronaChronicals Day 130.  I don't know how to link it, but she and her husband did a Trader Joe's run.

You will pee your pants.  It's spot on PERFECT.  She is incredibly funny.  After you watch it, you have to watch them all (she doesn't post every day -- maybe about a dozen??).  Laugh away.

I made it to Trader Joe's.  Got home, saw this on Instagram and the rest is history.  Lord, we need to laugh.

Anyway ...

Speaking of laughing.  Brene Brown's podcast with Judd Apatow -- all about laughs and his new movie, The King of Staten Island.  Lots of streaming services have the movie, but I can only see it on Prime.  $19 to rent for 48 hours.  Dang.  I'm not sold, but I might still do it.  It gets good review and I could use a comedy (even a comedy about grief).  What if it sucks?  But, then again, what am I actually doing for social spending.

Another interesting watch -- though not funny, is Maria Shriver's interview with Dr. Fauci (YouTube).  I was surprised by a lot of what he had to say -- aware of the overall situation (health, economy, mental health) and I'm far more paranoid than he suggests I be (QuaranTINA is out in force).  Biggest takeaway -- if we all do FIVE things, we can beat this back to the original baseline and hang on for a vaccine (which he believes is coming, effective and safe).
(1) Masks.
(2) Social distance -- in combination with masks.
(3) Wash your hands a lot.
(4) No large crowds.
(5) Close BARS (not restaurants, bars)
The interview talks a lot about nuances and he talks about schools going back (he says, mostly yes).

I finished The Giver of Stars.  It was good.  A little predictable, a little wrapped and tied with a bow in the end ... but it was a nice story.  I also appreciate a story that goes from A to Z.  No time switches, no narrator switches.  Just a story that flows in regular time.

That was yesterday.  I'm on the hunt for more laughs today and get to start a new book.  Stay tuned.

Stay well.  Later gators.
