Between kid and work I am busy and overwhelmed but I *do* have time. Getting engaged with something fannish would be hugely helpful right now. But, I am having trouble focusing on, well, anything really. When I have down time I endlessly refresh the New York Times, which is not a good idea because the news isn't going to get any better the more I look at it.
I am still keeping up with SLBP and IkeSen. In SLBP I'm enjoying the Kyoichiro route enough to get frustrated at only having five chapters a day. The MC is competent and goal-oriented and their relationship is collegial and practical. Also, after all these routes watching rich people do dumb wars that get lots of people killed I am pretty ready to watch someone rob the rich and give to the needy. In IkeSen I'm on the Shingen route, which is a fluffier version of the SLBP Shingen route and I'm not super-engaged by it but enough to keep clicking.
Things that I would like to regain energy to read/watch/play/focus on:
1. Guardians, which Scytale told me about, and I watched half an episode of before deciding that I am interested in watching more but can't focus enough.
2. Dororo, an excellent (but very dark) historical fantasy anime that I was about halfway through before the world changed.
3. Gintama, a completely different historical sci-fi/fantasy AU anime, that I was about twelve episodes into (out of about 400).
4. Three visual novels on my 'to-read' list on my computer: Nameless, A Foretold Affair and Angels With Scaly Wings.
There's also a new season of Doctor Who that I haven't watched any of, and I think the terrible new Star Wars movie is available for streaming (and it being terrible isn't a reason not to watch it), and Scytale gave me a good reason to give The Expanse another try.
Being able to distract myself with *something* fannish would help a great deal right now, I think, and five chapters per day of SLBP are just not enough. So, how to focus enough to make that happen? Any ideas?
