Since the whole COVID thing started I have cut my calories by more than half. I lost 10 pounds. I eat once a day and I hold on to the weight that I have gained by eating out twice a day for 15 years. GD I am so fucking depressed.

So.

A member of the USMC Drum and Bugle Corps is also a well-known drumming YouTuber. His chain of command was fine with his videos he shot using the practice facilities, but some muckety-muck somewhere wasn't, and he was ordered to remove over 150 of his videos.

The very same videos the Secretary of the Navy cited as part of his Navy Achievement Medal he was awarded upon his discharge. :facepalm:

Mr. Z works for a company that is majority Indian, and informs me this morning he's going to be late because of [holiday ceremony I can't remember the name and Google failed me], which they bless the building with a coconut*. Despite my kneejerk Homer Simpson response of , "Oh coconut, is there anything they can't do?", I like this idea. After the durm und strang of the Catholicism of my childhood, and having a lot of Jewish friends whose holidays basically exist to remind you of how Jews HAVE. SUFFERED., there is something joyful and sweet about the blessings of a coconut.


*Yes, there is more to it than just the coconut. This is the second time they've had this blessing. But mainly, there is coconut.

Perhaps the holiday is Dussehra?

That may be it. When I tried to Google it, I got holidays Not At All Appearing In This Month. I could have sworn Mr. Z called it something else, but I'm really bad at processing new information first thing in the morning.

I think it's Navratri. A couple of my Indian classmates were talking about it.
