Week 11 – Enough Already
Since there’s not much else to do, what with almost everything I live for being shut down, delayed, or canceled, I might as well try to get the Blogress Report running again. I apologize for my long period of silence; for most of the last month, my attempts to get myself feeling normal again have met with failure. It’s only in the last week or so that I’ve graduated to “okay most of the time”… though with the viral apocalypse in full swing, that might not last.
You can count me as one of the people who are 1000% done with hearing about this thing. For the sake of my own sanity, I’ve temporarily unsubscribed from my usual Anime News Network and AV Club news feeds, since every third article lately has been about the virus. I spend most of my time on the Internet to try to get away from the madness in real life, see. I can deal with being holed up at home… hell, that’s my everyday life. What I can’t deal with is nonstop hysteria and predictions of doom, especially when they impact pretty much all the things for which I get up in the morning.
I suppose if there is an upside to this, it’s that until this nightmare is over I’ll have far more time to write. I’ve neglected Shattered Skies for way too long, I know. Fortunately, I got an offer today from a very generous friend who wants to try to help me with my issues of distraction. We’ll see how that goes. In the meantime, fingers crossed, Doom Eternal will still come out next week. If there’s ever been a time for the catharsis of ripping and tearing through a (fictional) Hell on earth, it’s now.
