One Hundred and Ten

July 4, 2020 Joshua TongLeave a comment

Hey, how’s it going? Today is, by my count, day one hundred and ten of quarantine here in New York. At least since the day that I went into lockdown, stopped going into work, and have been in relative isolation within my apartment. For those of y’all keeping track at home, that’s almost four months… Continue reading One Hundred and Ten →

Intensive Purposes

June 27, 2020 Joshua TongLeave a comment

This post is not about The Last of Us Part Two, which I have been enjoying immensely. It’s also not about She-Ra and The Princesses Of Power, which I have been joyfully devouring. Nope, this one is about a turn of phrase. Particularly "for all intents and purposes." Apparently, the phrase is one of those… Continue reading Intensive Purposes →

Learn

June 6, 2020 Joshua TongLeave a comment

There’s a lot going on out there. The pandemic is still very much a thing and frustration at systemic racism has finally boiled over. Earlier this week I started thinking out a blog post about it all, about my own experiences with race and learning to be better. That said, it’s difficult for me to… Continue reading Learn →

What Day Is It?

April 4, 2020 Joshua TongLeave a comment

I kid. I’m mostly sure it’s Saturday. Mostly. Kinda wild that another week has already gone by. Couldn’t tell you what I’ve been doing, just because it’s the thing where days tend to blur together, kinda like how summer days used to back when you were a teenager only with less time spent going outside… Continue reading What Day Is It? →

Day Thirteen

March 28, 2020March 28, 2020 Joshua TongLeave a comment

'sup? Today is, more or less, day thirteen of my self-imposed quarantine/isolation. I’m not sick, but as someone who’s in a position to take themself out of the equation of contagiousness, I elected to do so. Social responsibility and all that. In the time since, New York has become the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak… Continue reading Day Thirteen →

Quarantined

March 21, 2020March 28, 2020 Joshua Tong

To stem the rising tide of a pandemic, the residents of New York are put under lockdown. Life in the city grinds to a halt; no one goes into work and restaurants and bars are limited to take-out only options. News chyrons speak of medication being shipped to cities and team games being banned. Who… Continue reading Quarantined →

DID IT

November 30, 2019 Joshua TongLeave a comment

Hey. Today, being the last day of November, is when NaNoWriMo comes to an end. And I friggin' did it. 50,000 words (and change) written in a month. Somehow. I've no real idea where this story's going and I'm pretty sure about 50% of those words are trash, but I did it. That's 50,000 words done. Finishing… Continue reading DID IT →

Ah, Crap, It’s 7pm.

November 23, 2019 Joshua TongLeave a comment

Hey! If you're wondering, yes, I'm still doing NaNoWriMo while trying to remain a functional adult! (I've also, by my count, consumed, twenty beers, nine cups of coffee, seven bottles of kombucha, and seven whiskey sours [amongst other beverages] while writing this month [yes, I am keeping count, and yes, I usually write in the… Continue reading Ah, Crap, It’s 7pm. →

A Post

November 16, 2019 Joshua TongLeave a comment

Hello. It’s November, a month where some people opt to forgo shaving for no other reason the alteration (and sometimes fundraising). It is also a month where foolish people try and write a 50,000 word novel with in its thirty days. Reader, I am one of those fools. In light of National Novel Writing Month,… Continue reading A Post →
