That means everyone in Discord is sharing YouTube clips that look like this to me:
It’s okay, though, the Olympics (in Paris right now as I type this) are yet another major cultural thing I just don’t have interest in any longer. It’s weird, because I don’t know why this changed. I used to watch and even get excited in anticipation of the Oscar broadcast. Now I often struggle to remember the last film to win Best Picture (I do remember this time–it was Oppenheimer, which, like most movies, I haven’t seen. The last movie I watched in a theatre was Pixar’s perfectly fine Onward, in March 2020). In fact, the full list of things that once engaged me that no longer does is both extensive and maybe a little unnerving, because I really don’t know what has changed.
The drop-off in reading has actually kind of disappointed me. It turns out a long commute was really important to enforcing a good reading habit.
On the plus side, I have spent more time doing other things that are engaging or even healthy, like running and drawing. I guess it all balances out.
This concludes my Monday Semi-deep Thought™.
