Another rough week. The day after my last serious post involving the Buffalo shooting, there was a shooting at an elementary school in Texas, killing 19 children. That's pretty much been on my mind every day since. I'm sure everybody has already seen and heard enough about it at this point, that my thoughts on it are not really wanted, but that's been where my mind has been all week.

To distract myself from the hell that is the world right now, I've still been doing most of my normal things.

Work, which is a constant refuge for me, and I look forward to doing every morning when I wake up.

Comic books - I kind of jump around and read a lot of different things. I've been catching up on the last couple of years at Marvel. Right now I'm reading the X of Swords event, which has been really fun. I'm also reading along with the My Marvelous Year reading club over at the Comic Book Herald website. I've been reading along with this guide for a long time and right now I'm in 1975. I've been reading a bit of DC comics as well - I finished Gotham Central, which was amazing. And I've been reading the Batman stuff from around 2016-2017 - right now I'm reading the story called Night of the Monster Men, and it's been fun as well. I also read another trade paperback in the Department of Truth series, which is interesting, but I think I'm done with it. It's a little too convoluted for me, I think.

Video Games - I was in the mood to play a racing game, so I started up Need for Speed: Heat, which I'd played before but never finished, and have been playing through it from the beginning again. Is fun and very relaxing. I turn off the music on the game, put my headphones on and listen to my music and just drive. Very chill.

That's about it for me. Nothing interesting happening in my little world and I like it that way. Hope your lives are uninteresting as well and that you have a great week. Love ya.
