Monday Morning Commute: A Sense of Overriding Futility
It is officially the fucking doldrums, yo. The Prole Bowl has come and gone (The Lords of Kobol are kind to me), and now darkness descends upon my sad, empty life. Oh sure I could stare even further into the Abyss what, with the White Noise of sports-based distraction shuffling back into the Miasma. But who wants that? Not this bro.
So with seven months of off-season, with another foot of snow hitting less than week after the last storm, I can feel the annual February Funk gripping my psyche. White-knuckled.
But we must muscle forth! Together! And this is the perfect venue to do so. Monday Morning Commute. The column where we share what we’re indulging in during a given week to help us through the Grind.

This fucking snow. This fucking. This fucking snow.

That Furious 7 trailer last night was some shade of a religious experience.

Rucka and Lark’s Lazarus is pretty goddamn solid. One of the more enjoyable comics I come across every month. It isn’t ever HOLY FUCKING SHIT but it is consistently “Yeah, fucking cool.”

I beat Far Cry 4 over the weekend. Very fun game. However — no real reason to 100% the title. My experience points are capped, my skills tree completely filled in. So like, why should I run around for hours hunting down masks? No trophies for completion? Sort of bullshit. But more than that, the Old School gamer in me wants some sweet unlockable for completing these things. SOME REWARD. But whatever. No need complaining. Great game. V. fun.

Better Call Saul is starting this week. And I don’t care. And I just can’t care. Too many television shows, man.

Is anyone going to see Jupiter Ascending? I…I just don’t know.

Been listening to one of the AceRock’s older albums a lot lately. Labor Days! Man, he’s always spitting about serious stuff, but this album is dark. Like board your windows and smoke yourself into Oblivion dark.

So This is what is keeping me from Descending Fully into my February Funk. How about you folks? What are you looking forward this week?
