Zoom hang

 Another Crazy Ex-Girlfriend parody song! Watch the original "Group Hang" here.


[LEAD, spoken]

The night was going lonely, amigo. I was having a microwave Mexican meal. Or Cali-Mex... Cali-Mex-Italian...

I don’t really know what this food is! But my time all alone was cut short by the scheduled call of Zoom...

 

[ENSEMBLE]

La la, la la la!

 

[LEAD]

It was a Zoom hang, Zoom hang

We’re staying so safe in a Zoom hang!

A Zoom hang, Zoom hang

Do we really need all these windows?

 

It was a bright, shiny world

For you and me

And a magical place

Where we wandered free

Then Corona showed up

And tore us apart

It’s a force of evil

A knife through my heart

 

[ENSEMBLE]

Jack box, Among Us, trivia games, Netflix party watches!

 

[LEAD]

A Zoom hang, Zoom hang

We’re staying so safe in a Zoom hang

A Zoom hang, Zoom hang

I'm so afraid of crashes!

 

Now you’re telling a story

'Bout some neighbor Dirkwad

And how he doesn’t mask

What a jerk he is

Feeling left out, so I jump in and say:

 

(spoken)

I had a friend named Dirk once. He just got COVID and no one can come to visit him.

 

(sung)

It was a Zoom hang, Zoom hang

It just got weird in this Zoom hang

Zoom hang, Zoom hang

It makes me so blurry sad

 

[ENSEMBLE]

Error, error, error, error, crash report, arriba!

Error, error, error, error, crash report, arriba!

Error, error, error, error, crash report, arriba!

Why don’t we meet up at my house?

 

[LEAD, spoken]

That’s not soc’ly distant!

 

[ENSEMBLE]

Latest COVID numbers, Twitter, Trump

Newest quaran-hobbies, future trip plans

Sharing nostalgia vid, without sound

 

[LEAD, spoken]

Does the host know what screen sharing is?

 

[LEAD, sung]

A Zoom hang, Zoom hang

What’s this virtual background click thing?

 

[LEAD, spoken]

I mean, really, am I crazy? There are—I know there are people with tech degrees talking on this call.

 

(sung)

A Zoom hang, Zoom hang

 

(spoken)

How are they not offended, with the total failure to use technology? Is it just me? Maybe it’s just me.

 

(sung)

We’re staying so safe at a Zoom hang

 

(spoken)

I feel like I’m alone but also not on this call.

 

(sung)

A Zoom hang, Zoom hang

 

(spoken)

Y ahora la parte más temida de andar con el grupo. ¡El adios!


(Prompt by me)

Starting my parental journey, part 9

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here ,  read part 6 here ,  read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
