Bah! It seems I am posting more infrequently now. Is it my mood? Probably. Is it also that nothing super exciting is going on since we are still not really able to go about as freely and hang out with friends like the old days. Yep. And, it’s sad to think that the “old days” of normal life were just six months ago. It feels like 60 years ago.<\/p>\n

Events of the past few weeks:
\n– Have gotten totally obsessed with collecting all the official recordings of Sunset Boulevard<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.
\n– Finally got a copy of Cocteau Twins’ Four Calendar Cafe<\/strong><\/em><\/a> on vinyl.
\n– Been crushing hard on the new R\u00f3is\u00edn Murphy<\/strong><\/a> album, R\u00f3is\u00edn Machine<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/span>
\n– Helped Michelle (no longer a refugee) set up various items for her new house here.
\n– Ate too much pizza.
\n– Binge watched The Haunting of Bly Manor<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and didn’t really like it.
\n– Got shat on by a pigeon.
\n– Turned 49.<\/p>\n

I stopped trimming my beard quite a few months ago. So, now it’s the longest it has ever been … and it’s so unruly. I really need a professional trim\/shaping but I am too paranoid to go to a barber and sit there unmasked while doing their work. I have been thinking about trimming it back down to a reasonable length but just haven’t worked up the nerve.<\/p>\n

Here’s a Then (July) and Now (October) …

I *might* also have been on a jockstrap kick for the past few days. They are just so damn wonderful. So, now I am toying with the idea of making the jockstrap my daily underwear of choice. In aid of this, I might have purchased a cheap-ish 3-pack (in grey and black because those are the best colors). It would be nice to be able to afford a full complement of PUMP<\/strong><\/a>, Diesel<\/strong><\/a>, or Cellblock 13<\/strong><\/a> (of which I want all the colors!) jocks. I guess I will see how this works out. Ha, ha.<\/p>\n

\"Papi<\/a><\/p>\n

And what would be an update without talking about an expensive movie purchase? I am super excited that Haunt<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (a great little horror movie from last year) is FINALLY getting a Blu-ray release from Ronin Flix<\/strong><\/a>. And, of course, I ordered the stupidly expensive Collector’s Edition<\/strong><\/a>. Just look at all the cool features and swag!<\/p>\n
