I'm gonna do this while I'm thinking of it, so that I don't have the add "belated" to the post title yet again.
Current clothes: Blue jeans. Bluish-green sweater. White socks.
Current mood: Mostly okay, but... I dunno. I'm tired of things. I'm tired of winter. I'm tired of night shifts. I'm tired of the low-level but relentless nastiness that's been camped out in my sinuses for the last two months. I'm tired of not living in a Star Trek utopia.
Current music: Most recently, Determination, a rockin' collection of covers from the Undertale soundtrack by RichaadEB//Ace Waters.
Current annoyance: See above for a list of things I am tired of. I was going to say that it's not an exhaustive list, but, really, I think the last point probably covers just about everything.
Current thing: I've been wasting ridiculous amounts of time lately watching YouTube videos of people playing random videogames, for reasons I don't remotely understand. I think I'm finally starting to get over it, but, then, I've thought that before and somehow kept right on doing it.
Current desktop picture: Still this one.
Current book: The Country of Ice Cream Star by Sandra Newman. Which I am enjoying. It seems to be exactly the right kind of immersive reading experience my brain needed about now.
Current song in head: Earlier it was "Auld Lang Syne." Um... Way to be late to the party, brain.
Current refreshment: Water. Gotta keep those sinuses hydrated.
Current DVD in player: Just finished season 6 of Game of Thrones. Which I thought started out kind of slow, but ended strong. It's definitely left me wanting more. Although, knowing how this usually goes, by the time I'm able to watch season 7, I'll probably have forgotten half of what happened in season 6, as well as most of the minor characters' names (again). I'll probably also have been at least partially spoiled for two or three significant plot points. Seriously, what is it about this show that sends spoiler etiquette right out the window like [season 1 spoiler redacted]?
Current happy thing: My reading for 2017 has started out well, in terms of quality if not necessarily quantity, and I'm feeling weirdly optimistic about the possibility of actually making some progress through the TBR shelves this year.
Current thought: Well, we're past the winter solstice. Eventually the sun won't be going down just as I'm getting up when I'm on night shifts anymore. That'll be something to look forward to.

"I'm tired of not living in a Star Trek utopia."
ReplyDeleteSeeming to be in almost constant mortal peril never struck me as being that utopian. In fact with crises occurring at weekly intervals, I always wondered how the crew of the Enterprise avoided having severe mental health issues. :)
Only the crazy adrenaline junkies who like mortal peril went out on the starships, though. 99% of humanity was sitting happily back on their nice Class-M Federation worlds eating free food replicated exactly to their tastes, traveling instantaneously across the planet whenever they liked, and only doing work that made them happy. I mean, sure, OK, there was the occasional possibility of, say, the Borg assimilating your entire species, but the cazy adrenaline junkies were always there to save the day when you needed them. So, y'know, I'd take it. :)
