What kind of a crapsack world allows this?!
I hadn't really noticed any Covid-related loss of taste or smell while I was sick, because I was basically unable to eat. But with today's return to work (And the unfortunate discovery that I have the stamina of a cofeehouse poet), I discovered the greatest injustice ever perpetrated on man.
I can't taste chocolate.
Imagine, I had a "Fun Size" Milky Way as a snack in my lunchbox, and I could only taste the burned notes of the caramel, the rest of it tasted like nothing.
Similarly, my favorite pick-me-up, a Peach Red Bull, tasted very off. Although my apple seemed okay....
It's like a color TV with the Tint turned all the way one way. Some aspects of flavor are unaffected, and others are tweaked or gone. And I can't really put my finger on what exactly the parameters of that are.

But losing chocolate. That's inhumane.

I figured it out
The actual Best Girl in Kanojo mo Kanojo is Shino, the silver-haired beauty with the purple ribbon.
Why is she best? Because she's the only one who isn't insane.

Looks like I'm gonna have some time on my hands
Came home from work Friday feeling very tired, went to bed at 6, and woke up just in time for bedtime, and slept in Saturday. Felt like utter crap, with body aches, a fever, sore throat. I figured it was an ordinary cold because by Saturday evening, my fever had gone down, and I was starting to feel better. Sunday still had an edge of illness to it, and I decided to take Monday off from work, and also drooped off at the local clinic, figuring I could get a test, prove it wasn't the couf, and be back to work tomorrow.
Yeah, not so fast. It was just the quick test, but it was positive, so counting back to Friday, I won't be back to work until Tuesday next week.
No treatment of any kind offered. Drink fluids and wait it out. Jeez, not even clean socks and Motrin.

There are no Shotcuts
So I was made aware of several free video editors out there. Alas, Blender now insists on Windows 8.1 to install (not even 8.0 is good enough!), but I had ShotCut recommended to me.
Seems alright, except that it keeps crashing if I scrub the timeline too much (This is not my all-too-frequent bluescreening). Still, it seems to have some reasonably robust auto-saving going on.
Thus I'm taking a stab at setting SuperCub to The Hondell's "Little Honda". Although the scrubbing issue makes it a bit hard to find the cuts I want, and the song is too short to include them all.

Going 4K
So the 42" 1080p TV I've been using as a monitor for the past 13 years went from working last night to dead this morning. I conducted surgery this afternoon and found a burnt fuse in it, but replacing it didn't bring it back to life. I found an online service manual which might aid in future fruitless efforts to debug it, but in the meantime I needed replacement.
So, I hied off to the mart of walls, and selected a successor. And for $424 including tax got a 4K, 50" replacement from some brand I've never heard of before. It's much lighter, virtually borderless, has no component video inputs.... but does have One and only One composite input that I may try to use with an old game system or two sometime. It does have a digital audio out connector, but fiber only, unlike the old Toshiba which also allowed an RCA data cable. I need a longer one. VGA connectors have gone the way of the Dodo.
The computer was already feeding it a 4K signal by the time I got through the setup menus. But that's just a little TOO high rez to read, so I backed it off a little. The TV is capable of handling off ratios a lot better than the Toshiba did.
I did not connect the ethernet or wireless networking. I don't need my TV to get to YouTube when I've got the computer there to do it. (Even if YouTube is causing a lot of my crashes lately.)
The other remarkable this is how LIGHT the new TV is in comparison. The Toshiba was listed as being 40-50 lbs. The new one can't even be half that. (Edit: Box says 20 lbs.)

Kanojo mo kanojo is funnier than it has any right to be
When the busty girl falls into his face, and you go to whap him with yours, but they're too small to reach....
I died.
