And though I had slain a thousand foes less one,
The thousandth knife found my liver;
The thousandth enemy said to me,
'Now you shall die,
Now none shall know.'
And the fool, looking down, believed this,
Not seeing, above his shoulders, the naked stars,
Each one remembering.
--John M. Ford, The Final Reflection

Distracted Focus

I need to focus more on the distractions of my life. Anyway, random mini-topics now.

First:
The office is moving. My current place of employ is moving locations to one that is going to take longer for me to get to than it currently is. I am not happy with this, but for the sake of decent pay, I'll put up with this shit. I already walk a lot to and from work to get to the MRT station, and do not relish the idea of needing to walk even further to get to work. It's annoying.


Second:
I'm stumped for something to write. I've ended Darkness & Stars at a somewhat reasonable point, but have decided not to spread it out yet. Maybe when I feel more like spreading awful writing out onto the Internet. As for other projects, I'm drawing a blank. I want to write, but I can't think of anything to write. I take this as proof of the old claim I once made: work kills creativity.


Third:
I have delved back into playing video games in what spare time I can muster. I've got a Gameboy Advance emulator, Warriors Orochi, Samurai Warriors 2, Blood-Over, and Baldur's Gate II all on my PC right now. Oh, and a little beauty called Gadget Trial. Will likely install Planescape: Torment later, too. Been playing a lot more Magic than usual lately, now that I think about it.


Fourth:
I have far too much anime waiting in the wings to be watched, and not enough time or motivation to watch them. Right now, I've decided to focus my attention on Code Geass R2 and Koihime Musou. Once one of them is done, I'll fire up ef - A Tale of Memories, or any of the others in the pipeline.


Fifth:
For a few reasons, I am not happy. In fact, I'm arguably downright depressed. I assume it will pass. It usually does.
