QUARANTINE DIARIES As Jean-Paul Sartre once wrote “Hell is other people” and I am in heaven. I cannot tell you how long I have been in government-enforced isolation. Nor can I tell you how much longer it will be. It is not so different from my self-imposed isolation spanning...

Sleep and exercise

QUARANTINE DIARIES So I have spent over a week in self-isolation and I am coping a lot better than I thought I would. I didn’t expect to be doing as well as I am. I am not insanely bored as I have things to entertain me such as watching...

QUARANTINE CHRONICLES I’m a person wired for novelty. Can’t stand doing the same routine two days in a row. Barely cook the same meal twice. Change up the alcohol I drink every weekend (or within the night. Like, 5 times minimum). So quarantine-induced Groundhog Day isn’t going so well;...

Breather Briefing – Issue 6

The sesh as we know it is on hold for now. We must be patient for the golden days to come back where you’d just get absolutely plastered with the lads. However, thanks to snapchat you can get absolutely maggoted by yourself. Unless you’re living under a rock you’ve...

Breather Briefing – Issue 5
