Dutiful sports viewership

 I've been watching the Raptors a lot lately. Like, every game. Pretty much since the pandemic/lockdown started, we're talking years now. I watched them in a bubble in Tampa Bay last year. I never would have expected that I would become a sports fan, and here I am genuinely enjoying watching NBA basketball. I suppose I kinda hopped on the bandwagon after the 2019 NBA championship win. Kinda bummed Kyle Lowry isn't with the team anymore.

Lately, they've been pretty good. Fred VanVleet is playing like an all-star, starting great plays for his teammates and shooting dagger 3s all day long. I admit that I am a part of the "Fred VanVleet Fan Fleet". And Siakam has been really great. And the rookie, Scottie Barnes! So fun to watch.

That's my basketball viewership in a nutshell.

A wild Kanye concert appears

 So it's Thursday night, and like most nights I'm on Twitch for a while, looking at a couple streamers play my favourite games. I then notice that Amazon is promoting some concert, Kanye and Drake. A pretty big deal.

I tune in, and for the first like hour there isn't much, but eventually a crowd of singers populate the stands and they start singing. Twitch comments are mostly clamoring for the stars to show up, but it's not bad.

Eventually Drake and Ye show up, and they hug and stuff. Dunno where Drake went, but DAMN Ye is popping off with CLASSIC HITS. I'm talking Jesus Walks. I'm talking Gold Digger. This is so damn entertaining.

So that's what I'm doing right now. Listening to some artists perform a relief concert for a gangster in prison. Cheers!

Keep the blog runnin'

 Wow. It's been almost exactly a year since I wrote my last post.

 The pandemic is still going. I haven't seen any friends in over a year. Actually, like nothing has changed since this moment last year.

 I lost a lot of motivation to blog... but I didn't want to abandon my blog completely, so here I am. I'm not going to write much, I just wanted to make sure I wrote something because this is the longest break I've ever taken.

 I wish sometimes this was more social, not like Facebook, but that maybe I had other blogger friends.

 Wishing's a start.

A virus appears

Since my last post, a lot has changed.
Well, not that much for me personally: I'm still cooped up at home, but fears of catching and spreading a virus that has shut down large parts of society is now persistent.

I don't feel like writing much these days, but I figure I'd write at least one thing for the month of March. Yep, just living day by day, and all you hear on the news are things about the virus.

It kind of sucks. I have to be careful when I go for walks outside, trying to stay my distance from other people stretching their legs.

I wonder how long this will last.

I'm enjoying Breath of the Wild. I decided to finally get it because I knew I would be cooped up inside a lot. Meanwhile, Animal Crossing released a while back and a lot of people, Twitch streamers and folks whose stories I read online, are raving about it. I might end up getting it eventually.

It's a lonely time, but it won't last forever.
