This basement was not designed with my hermit command center in mind, and so I have too many things to plug in and not enough outlets. There’s never been a better time to learn how to wire up more outlets I suppose…
Greetings from my hovel on the banks of the Bow.
I think I’m finally getting cured of whatever strange mental deficiency caused me to never bail on an anime series no matter how bored I was. I dropped 3 shows this week that I only had 3-4 episodes left in and it felt good… but also terrible and there’s a non-zero chance I’ll end up finishing them just because my brain is broken.
Granted, my standard for anime is MUCH lower than the standard I hold other forms of entertainment up to for some reason. I think it’s because I watch anime the way some people watch reality TV. I’ll watch whole multi season series of anime I barely have any interest in whereas I STILL have not finished The Wire, a show I KNOW to be brilliant. I like to have bad anime series on as a sort of background hum while I’m doing other things. At some point I realized I watch more YouTube and bad anime than I do anything else? It should maybe bother me, but I also know that I get more pleasure out of bad anime than most prestige tv. When I want entertainment to engage and challenge me I will watch a film or read a book, watching tv for me is way more passive.
I promise to finish The Wire someday though.
