A quick one...

Wow, it's been over a year since I last posted. Not for lack of trying, I have about five entries that are in draft mode.

In a nutshell, 2016 was the worst year ever, and I'm not sure if 2017 will be any better or worse. I may go into details some other time.

One of the things that's made life really suck is that my roommate still isn't working, almost two years after she got evicted. But I think the less I say about that, the better. She really needs some help, but I'm not qualified to give it to her, especially when I should be looking for a new job myself, or maybe schooling.

I'm so fucked up* that I'm even tired of music. I've also realized that my music collecting ambitions are unrealistic compared to my lifestyle, so I'm ripping a lot of my CDs to FLAC files, and hoping to get those CDs off my chest.  I definitely want to keep a lot of my favorite CDs, but my goal is to be able to downsize my stuff to the point where I can just get up and relocate to another part of the country, or maybe even out of the country. I don't think I can afford to live the American lifestyle much longer.

(*By "fucked up", I mean in a depressed and scatterbrained sort of way, not a "fucked up on drugs and alcohol" kind of way.)
