The stressor is now in the past. Well, the deadline is in the past. there is some follow up to be done, but I'm not worried over that. My battery is completely drained at the moment, to the point where I can't settle on what brain dead video game I want to play to pass the time. I tried to improve a stage score in Thumper and fell short, then started up a solo Valheim map. When you're trying to dungeon crawl solo it can get pretty hairy, because the game is designed for group play, but you can also spend a lot of time just chopping down trees and building a little outpost, so that's mostly what I've been doing as I slowly gear up to take on the Elder.
I've also been trying to finish the book I got out of the library a long time ago (that keeps getting auto renewed). It's called Battle of the Linguist Mages. Parts of it are fun, but as a whole it feel like a slog and I feel like my attention is drifting every couple of pages. I can't tell if it's because I'm tired or because the book isn't all that interesting, but I'm thinking that it's a little bit of both. I've been struggling to finish it since well before my deadlines cropped up, after all. I think the big part of the problem I have with the book is that it's long as hell but most of it is dedicated to loving descriptions of actiony sequences, either fights in virtual space or fights in real space, and while there's some exposition happening during I'm not finding myself invested in any emotional stakes.
Ah well, I'll keep gnawing at it.
Been in the mood for some new anime or something but too lazy to seek it out. Man I'm really running on empty. I wish I could enjoy more live action stuff, but I don't like western live action shows, for the most part and the acting in those is ten times better than the standard Japanese fare. I think I just need someone to come by and poke my brain with a stick.
