Only took me slightly less than two months
May. 9th, 2020 07:16 pmI have done it. I've finished reading the giant stack of library books I took home the week before we all went into lockdown.
Now I am not sure what to do with myself. The libraries are all closed, so I can't get any new physical books. So my choices are 1) look into e-book borrowing, 2) read some of the new-to-me random-ass books I acquired at library sales that will have a greater proportion of duds, or 3) re-reads.
Or I could stop faffing about and do some art for the first time in weeks. But that feels insurmountable at the moment. (Am I having a Depression right now? Yes. Yes I am. So it goes.)
In other distracting-me methods, I have started playing through the original Final Fantasy 7 in Japanese. Protip: you can do this on the PS4 by changing the console system language, which you can do freely from the settings menu. This is going better than I expected and I am trying to be diligent about looking up words/phrases I don't know rather than saying "I got 85% of that, let me skip it."
