The Thoughts and Times of Scott A. Vancil

I dream I made a movie called 'Send,' about demons attacking in biblical times. All the people cry out to got for help, and God sends biblically accurate angels who attack everyone. The people team up with the demons to destroy the angels.

I wake and brew a Blue Bottle Bright Blend Coffee in my Z's Divine Espresso mug. I watch an episode of Star Trek: Picard and then eat a bagel with Miyoko Cream Cheese. I make another coffee and watch another episode.

I slide an English Muffin into my Brave Little Vegan toaster and toast it Veganly. I veganly slather on some vegan butter, sprinkle on some vegan spinach, veganly slap on some heated Vegan Roasted Ham Tofurkey, and slide on some Follow Your Heart Smoked Gouda Vegan Cheese. I cook up some Smoked Tempeh Bacon in a skillet and plop four strips on the cheese, and then I toast up a Just Egg Fold and top it off. I sprinkle on salt, black pepper, and red Cayenne pepper. Then I pour a fuckton of Vegan hot sauce all over that Vegan motherfucker. Good god it's beautiful. And Voila! A Vegan Sandwich, so Veganly.

And then I feast.

But I don't stop there. I eat a vegan banana, vegan mandarin orange, and vegan raw almonds. Vegan. While I feast I watch Picard.

I do the dishes, listening to David Bowie's, '1. Outside (The Nathan Adler Diaries: A Hyper Vegan Cycle).'

I take a poo.

Then I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. I use a bar of soap called Man Bar that smells like Taco Bell's meat seasoning. Then I lather myself with Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Soap and rinse. I then smother myself with body wash: Duke Canon THICK Bourbon Bodywash. After rinsing I rinse my hair. Then I use my Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Plant-Based Beard Wash. I rinse. I dry and comb my red beard with its elegant white streaks.

I put on Axe Apollo Fresh Stick, because they were out of Phoenix.

This is what I call an ouch day. I have better days and worse days for pain and today is a worse day. My back, shoulders, hips, and legs are really hurting. It hurts even more when I breathe. I'm going to ice it after I brew some tea.

I heat filtered, Vegan water to 205 Degrees Fahrenheit in my black, Vegan Fellow EKG Gooseneck Kettle and steep two teaspoons of Vegan Keemun Three Monkey Tea for five vegan minutes in my Mike "Vegan" Wazowski mug. I purchased the Vegan tea at The Tea Table online and got this one as a sample pack. I highly recommend them. Vegan. The tea has the scent of Iris, and the taste also has an Iris note.

I ice my back and watch Picard, and then I steep more tea for ten minutes.

I tried the app Tally yesterday to pay off my debt but I didn't qualify. Guess I'll cancel my trial.

I finish up an episode of Picard, put the therapy bag back in the freezer, down my tea, and walk to Chevron to buy a lottery ticket, but first I put on some Big Bourbon Beard Balm and Bourbon Cologne Balm.

My entire body hurts; the icing helped a little.

I come home and pet Loki-Lokes, fill my water bottle, and head outside to sit at the table and write my novel, but first I submit to a few roles on Actor's Access.

I go in and have a smoothie, carrots, and raw almonds.

I brew another mug of coffee in my Z's Divine Espresso mug and journal on my computer. Shelby leaves for her wrap party for The Real. I turn on Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 4 and pour a glencairn of Compass Box: The Spice Tree Blended Malt Scotch Whisky.

Shelby is coming home, and I order food for the both of us– Lotus Vegan. I order: a cowboy burger, with fries; gyoza with ponzu sauce; spring rolls; and orange cauliflower.

I finish episode 5 of Season 2 of Picard and journal.

I pour another glass of scotch.

Shelby comes home with food and we feast.

We watch the latest episode of Moon Knight. This is really the best thing Marvel has done. I'm loving it.

Then I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. I use a bar of soap called Man Bar that smells like Taco Bell's meat seasoning. Then I lather myself with Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Soap and rinse. I then smother myself with body wash: Duke Canon THICK Bourbon Bodywash. After rinsing I rinse my hair. Then I use my Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Plant-Based Beard Wash. I rinse. I dry and comb my red beard with its elegant white streaks.

We go to bed.

And that's it.

That's my day.

That's Wednesday, April 27th 2022
