Dec. 29th, 2014 09:18 pmI guess this will be a short update of a kind.
One, I've been writing music for an old friend's text adventure game (they've been around since the early internet, and so has Lost Souls) I guess he's working on a web client, which is good - because otherwise I'm afraid text games will probably die off, and I'm rather fond of them. I've always kinda preferred reading to watching graphics, especially since it seems to be great mental exercise and not at all passive.

Which is actually, a pretty nice classical/orchestral score thing.
The second thing is, I discovered for the first time in a long time something I like. That's Doctor Who. I'm totally in love with this show. I now feel with certainty that American television just isn't for me - I loved Downton Abbey as well. I also prefer listening to UK voices over ours. I like the accent. Even prefer it. I can thank the crazy lady from London over Skype for getting me acclimated to the accents.
As for everything else - same old, I guess. Trying to keep my negative thoughts to a minimum and replacing them with positive, even if they aren't things I know with certainty. Anyway, what do I know with certainty? Not much.
I'm pretty wiped out from the holidays. Glad I've got some vacation time coming with the new year. Not sure I will stick around for the whole year, either. Don't much care about the consequences - because seriously, what does it matter? I could spend my whole life in that place, or I could do something else. It doesn't matter. We're supposed to plan as if we'll live until retirement, but that situation looks dire for my generation (the end of pensions and replacement shitty 401ks linked to a market benefiting primarily the elite class.) I'm not sure exactly that I should leave, but I feel like it's the right thing to do. I shouldn't stay in this place forever. It's not good for my heart, or my soul. And never has been.
