I don't recall when last I wrote here. Got a Switch for my birthday and have been playing it muchly. Zelda Breath of the Wild is great fun, and I rebought Disgaea 5 and played it a bunch again. I just bought and beat Mario Rabbids Battle or whatever it's called. Lots of fun that, though I don't know how much replayability it has once completed. Even though it's something of a Mario version of X-Com, the levels and battles are all fixed and the whole thing is not terribly long. Still, I had fun. Just bought Dead Cells and one other, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate on my PS4. Dead Cells is one of those rogue-like side scrolling games. I have a few, and this one's not bad so far.
I reread a bunch of Jim Butcher recently, but now that I ran through them, I'm left empty and bereft of proper reading material. I need to figure out something new to read. I've been reading a handful of creepypastas, but those are popcorn, and also not something you want to read a lot of.
Work was okay again for a bit, but I am definitely reaching the end of my rope. I keep saying I'm going to update my résumé and look for something new, but honestly, by the time I'm done with work every evening I'm usually too mentally wiped to even remember, much less want to, and my day's off, not usually being sequential, subsist mostly of me sleeping. Blarg.
Also, I've been listening to the hymns station on pandora of late, and it's really hitting the spot. So much of modern "worship" music is fluff and more about how the singer feels than about anything of substance. I get absolutely nothing from telling me an emotion; rather, I am moved when presented with a song that gives me a reason to feel. Tell me why and how God is good, and I can easily sing along. It also helps that most hymn type songs were designed to actually be sung by most people and not just the castrati...
