I want to blog about self-isolation. Actually, tell a lie. I'd rather talk about almost anything else.

Well, would you? Be honest. For those readers who can somehow avoid trashy media content, this is Kiwi "starlet" Kelsy Karter. You know Kelsy Karter; she sang that...song. And she was in that television series. No not that one, the other one. Still no idea? Well join the club. That…
