a wild update appears! and stuff about TV
So things have been rather quiet around here, I know. My motivation to post has been on a steady decline, probably due to work -- not that work is bad, but it doesn't leave me with the hours of free time I used to have as a student (hours that were technically meant for study). I'm not in the habit of posting short, trivial things like what I ate for breakfast (you will still find the occasional mini-post) and at the same time I don't feel like I have anything worthwhile to say. Fandom participation is pretty much gone as well.
But, out of the blue, I feel like posting shit again.
I started watching Game of Thrones this week out of boredom. It's not really my kind of show but it's OK after a little adjustment period to get used to the fantasy setting and all the characters. And it's a show where I don't particularly care about/am not invested in the characters, although I was surprised when [spoiler]they killed Eddard Stark so early on, because he seemed like a major protagonist. I suppose in retrospect I should have seen it coming, considering how Sean Bean dies in everything he's ever played. I'm mainly watching to see how the various plot lines pan out.
EDIT: I'm watching Blitz right now, and Littlefinger shot Gendry! (Not a spoiler because it happens in the first 20 minutes)
I've also been watching Breaking Bad, which is awesome and I'm surprised I didn't get into it earlier. It's really funny in many ways. I don't feel strongly for the plight of any of the characters, because I like them all as an ensemble; they're not really 'good guys' or 'bad guys' as they're well developed and understandable. However, I may have to say my favourite would be Saul because he's hilarious. A terribly seedy and not-upstanding character at all, but hilarious.
And that is all for now.
