Day 2 of My Coronavirus Diary

March 17. I’ve already used 23 rolls of toilet paper. I now regret acting out scenes from The Mummy.

I read that a woman bought a gun after seeing all the “chaos at her local Costco, with long lines and people stockpiling goods.” Great. That’s what we need. We need to be in a real life dystopian action horror film. Oh yes, please, open fire when someone takes the last roasted chicken.

What is wrong with people?

Servant Stage sent me an email. They wanted to know if I’d allow them to show a video of their production of my play Around the World in 80 Days.

“Our 2017 production of your adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days has been hands down our most popular and most requested show.”

It’s always good to get a compliment like that when you’re holed up in your house. I said no. I’m kidding. I said yes. (And yes, it’s a non-union theatre so no need to worry about Equity rules).

I’m thinking about buying a bidet but my trial run with the lawn sprinkler didn’t go too well.

I was a bit more productive today. I pushed forward on my new script. My friend Sarah is helping me with the translation and she’s loads of fun.

People are putting together Coronavirus playlists so I jumped on the bandwagon and made one as well.

I hired someone to do a lyric video for me but as of now what they’ve done hasn’t wowed me. I talked to someone else about doing it. They sent me a 15 second demo and it wasn’t good either. So I did my own.

More importantly, I’ve nearly finished my Kringle. I may have to make a trip to Trader Joe’s. But leaving the house is terrifying. There are zombies out there!
