The Thoughts and Times of Scott A. Vancil

Saturday, June 4th 2022

I wake up with Shelby, but then I lie in bed with Loki for awhile. I brew a Bones Coffee Co. Mustachio Coffee in my Mustache Mug.

I journal.

I make a sandwich: toasted English Muffins; lathered veganaise; peppered baby spinach; plopped, juicy tomato slice; plooped oven-roasted Tofurkey slices; smacked Vegan Follow-Your-Heart Gouda Cheese; and blasted hot sauce- a fuckton.

I feast.

But I don't stop there: I have a banana, a mandarin orange, and raw almonds.

While I fest I watch a new episode of The Whiskey Vault on YouTube. I'm finally starting to catch up to the newest release.

I do the dishes while listening to Angel Olsen's, 'Song of the Lark and Other Far Memories.'

I poop.

And then I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. 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.

I heat filtered, water to 203 Degrees Fahrenheit in my black, Fellow EKG Gooseneck Kettle and steep two teaspoons of Hojicha Roasted Green Tea for four minutes in my Mike Wazowski mug. I purchased the tea at The Tea Table online. I highly recommend them.

Then I submit to roles on Actor's Access. I don't really find anything, but I never get auditions from this website. I've never gotten a role from one of these listings. I haven't gotten a role in ages though. The last big one was Child the feature film in 2016 where I met Shelby. It still hasn't come out yet.

After I finish my tea, I go walking with Shelby in the park and down our street, and then we come back and sit at the table outside our apartment. We chat about a little bit of everything. Shelby is worried about me taking Tylenol a lot, so I decide to take some ibuprofen later.

We come back in and I cash a check from EDD. Then we go to Garage Pizza. I get the Vegan Annihilator with jalapenos. Shelby gets a margarita pizza.

I take three ibuprofen for my pain.

We feast and watch Sex Education.

I pour a glencairn of Ardbeg 5 Wee Beastie Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

We watch more Sex Education.

I lie down, because my back really hurts, listening to Angel Olsen's, 'Big Time.'

I get back up and pour another scotch. Then Shelby and I watch one more episode of Sex Education.

Around midnight we start an episode of Letterkenny.

And then I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. 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.

And then I go to bed.

I'm scared to go to sleep, because I wonder which night will be my last. I don't want to go to bed and never wake up again. I try to calm my mind so I can sleep.

And that's it.

That's my day.

That's Saturday, June 4th 2022
