The Problematic of the Unproblematic

Trotwood: Preparing to have all our courses go online, moving students out, establishing emergency housing, and doing a gazillion Zoom/Micosoft Team meetings was beginning to take it's toll last week, but all our study abroad students are back home (finally--it took our student in Northern Ireland the longest). This week will be settling into the new normal whatever that is. I picked up some new shows, but I don't know how long I will keep with some of them. Not that they aren't good, but my mind seems to want to reject anything too dark or taxing. kakashi: I am settled into the new abnormal and coping quite well ... at the moment. Even getting some work done. Drama watching... not so much but that's normal for me too .

kakashi: I'm back. Sorry that this isn't a very happy episode. On top of everything, A'Mo has Covid19 symptoms. JoAnne: Apparently social distancing wasn't a thing back then.

Shuk: Here we go on yet another journey to one of the best worst lakorns out there.  Episode 11! Is the end in sight? Has everyone figured out who really loves them, and who is a flockless psychopath? Trotwood: I'm so glad you are continuing with this. It always provides me something I need even though I didn't know I needed it. Who knew that Nark's Newsie's outfits would provide me with such inner peace? Kmuse: Anytime I think I might want to try a new Lakorn I remember that I am working on this project and I tell myself, "I'm good. It can't get better than staring on stairs." Let the snarkcapping continue.

kakashi: Everybody, stay healthy! Like Kim Ji Hoon, see below. Trotwood: I knew he was buff, but I had no idea he was so flexible. It makes a person think things.

kakashi: Corona destroyed my entire work week and sucked the life out of me. Now that we have some clarity - school is closed until 26th April, no teaching at my university anymore, move to home office in part - I hope that I can get some work done. I wonder whether all of this makes it more likely that I can write a book until the end of May. In any case: have some kittens! UPDATE: We are now on total lockdown until 19th April.  Trotwood: I'm in charge of helping to switch my uni to remote work, including providing support to the move to doing all the rest of the semester's coursework online and providing safe, potential isolation protocol amenable housing to homeless and housing insecure students. The news and directives sometimes change every hour. We meet daily sometimes multiple times a day including weekends, so please excuse some of the problems below. I erased a bunch of my reviews by accident this weekend and had to rewrite at least half from memory. Panda: It...

kakashi: It's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not in the mood for much partying unfortunately Panda: Happy. Happy Birthday dear Kakashi!!! Mmmmmmwah!!! Even though you're not in the mood, still wishing you a kick-ass year (just like you). Hi everyone! I'm here and felt I was beginning to sound like a broken record. Still not watching ANY dramas but 13th, I'm going ro be in front on Netflix eagerly consuming Kingdom s2 :) Trotwood: Oh my! Happy Birthday to you. Sorry you aren't in mood for a party, but will you have cake at least? I'll eat cake in your honor. JoAnne:  Happy Birthday to our most benevolent leader and dear friend! ot is I'll eat some cake for you too - especially if Trot is making it! Well, I did party a bit yesterday. And tonight I will eat hotpot. it's nothing like in earlier years though where I celebrated for an entire week.....

kakashi: How's the virus situation with y'all? I'm feeling under the weather right now, but I think it's just a normal cold... Lots of dramas starting in March, right? Trotwood: I spent the weekend working on communications with students traveling abroad, especially in Italy, reviewing our quarantine protocol and pandemic plans. There are loads of dramas starting in March. Just the thought makes me feel tired rather than energized though. The first case at my university is confirmed. We are no longer allowed to shake hands or kiss.
