At the start of quarantine, there was a lot of uncertainty as to just how long this thing would last. Perhaps that was naivete. No yeah, that was definitely naivete. But see, I own a lot of t-shirts. You know what, we’ll get to that… When everything locked down back in March and April of 2020, we lost a lot of things, everything changed, yadda … Continue reading Good riddance, laundry tub
A year on from starting this blog It happened. What seemed impossible, or at least impossibly far away, just one year ago has happened. On April 6, 2020, I got word that I was being laid off, along with most of the people with whom I worked. On April 6, 2021, I became eligible to make an appointment for a dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, … Continue reading I Am Vaccinated
Hi. I haven’t blogged in a little bit, and truly the greatest loss there is that I missed blogging about the big boat getting stuck. If you either missed it when it was all anyone could talk about on Twitter for weeks or are now looking back from the future going oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, here’s a quick summary: Capitalists rely on global trade routes to make … Continue reading I missed blogging about the big boat getting stuck
I’ve lived with my sister for my entire life. Almost 28 years. Today was the last day we will have lived together. As I mentioned a few posts ago, my sister is moving out. This was always going to happen, especially after I met my girlfriend. The pandemic came at exactly the wrong time, in that regard. The three of us lived together for almost … Continue reading Moving Day
I started this draft back in June of 2020. I don’t remember if I still thought this would end at some point, or if I had accepted that we’re all just trapped in hell for the foreseeable future. In any case, I thought it might be interesting to see just how many games I’ve played (however briefly) over the course of all of this nonsense. … Continue reading Games I have played in quarantine (so far)
The process of becoming an adult is largely the process of getting better and better at maintaining what can reasonably be called “a life,” which is itself largely a series of things you do regularly to fulfill an ever-expanding hierarchy of needs and, eventually, wants. I am now firmly in my “late twenties.” I’ve got the list of things I need to do to make … Continue reading On Discipline
Hi, it’s May 9th and it snowed last night. But it’s sunny enough outside, so I’m pretending it’s summer today. Forgetting and pretending can be pretty useful and necessary acts of self-care from time to time, in small doses. Luckily, I’m very good at those things, so I’m doing myself a solid and pretending it’s summer today. My space heater is doing a lot of … Continue reading I’m pretending it’s summer today
When my sister and I first moved to New York, I had one major goal above all else. Eat good pizza. Find my dream job? Maybe. Forge my own path in life? If it comes up. Feel as though I’ve come into my own as an adult and a human being? A nice-to-have. New York is, of course, known for its pizza. This would surely … Continue reading Thank God for the Friday Pie
Well, it finally happened. The novel coronavirus pandemic turned the world inside out, I lost my job, and I’ve been inside for almost two months straight, so I am starting a blog. To kick things off, I’ll start by handling some obvious questions: Q. Why is this blog called The Go To Hell Space? A. A few years ago (the last time I was unemployed), … Continue reading Welcome to The Go To Hell Space [MAY 2020]
