Everyone’s getting covid. It’s become serious. And pretty much everyone here is triple vaxxed. 1 in 17 at Yale have it now. One of my roommates got it. I’m hoping I get it - if I get it - before finals. ‘cause I doubt Yale professors would give extensions. “You’re dying? Did you not read the syllabus? NO extensions” “What were you like as a kid?“ He asked. Umm, “naïve..,” “boyish.. obsessive.” I answered, thoughtfully. And how would you describe yourself now? He follows-up. Umm, “less naïve..” “boyish.. obsessive.,” we laughed. 2006: Taylor Swift releases her first album. I was three years old. I grew up with her - every breakup, every turns-out-gay boyfriend. She’s brilliant - don’t get me wrong - no doubt in the universe, but she’s not the underdog any more - not an outsider - she’s FAB rich, royalty, no, better than royalty. And she has the Taylor army. Why is she always threatening physical violence? Taylor is candid, she’s gay and straight, she’s republican, rageful, ****** and complex and I want to believe she actually ran someone down aka a Gatsby She’s the Alexander Pope of our generation. I’m just questioning the Taylor Swift breakup-industrial-complex. Is Pete Davidson hot? I can’t decide. He looks sort of gangly and awkward. He’s dating Kim Kardashian. I mean it’s not like Kanye is hot. She’s obviously not looking for THAT.
