EPISODE 512: THE UPPER ZOOM

Best line I heard this week: "I just finished Netflix."

POP CULTURE SPIRIT WOW

Hi! How are you doing?

Have you gotten to the point yet where you’re thinking maybe you should have some alternatives to beginning every conversation with “how are you doing?” but also man you’re tired and that does not seem very high a priority at all?

I ran into someone on campus yesterday – aka he saw me from 50 feet away and started to walk toward me and I literally told him to stop doing that because I couldn’t recognize him behind his mask and also because I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS RIGHT NOW and so we shouted words at each other warmly. His opening gambit was: “Isn’t it beautiful?” Here “It” is our completely abandoned pretty much horror movie-ready campus.

His follow through was even better: “You must like this because it means you and the other Jesuits don’t have to interact with each other.” (Said in all seriousness.)

We’re all just doing the best we can, aren’t we? I mean not that guy, but the rest of us. One day at a time.
