1. Still suffering from crippling exhaustion. (More than the usual baseline.) Been sleeping a lot and still feeling unable to function. Except my blood sugar was off last night so I couldn't sleep. So today's shaping up to be even worse.
2. My LJ and DW feeds are both pretty much dead. In part because most of the people I know have drifted elsewhere. (Stupid FB. It sucks. But it's the only way to keep in touch with most of my friends. Why can't people use something like DW, where the devs actually care about the userbase and actively work to make the UI better? Why are we all communally stuck with a social media site with a UI so bad there's a hugely popular browser extension which exists solely to try to make it more usable? Which the FB devs then go out of their way to try to break.) But I suspect I've also just been filtered out by several people. Which I can't say I'd blame them for, even if I had a right to criticize anyone else's filtering choices.
2a. I wonder if anyone is still bothering to read here.
2b. Also, I should maybe try to make some new friends. But I'm not sure where to look or what to try. I've lost interest in a lot of things. And, at this point, I really don't know what to say to recommend myself as a friend.
3. There's a community called![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
awesomeers which sounded pretty cool. Helping people celebrate what they do right and see the awesomeness in themselves even when life seems overwhelmingly negative. Starting with just posting one thing you did in the last 24 hours that you can be even a little proud of. ... It's having the opposite effect on me. I see the daily post and I try to think of something and I end up reflecting on how I've basically accomplished nothing and my life has gone nowhere in over a decade and I'm too tired to do anything and... *sigh*
4. I did go out to see Thor last night. That was good. Best Superman movie of the year, hands down.
(Seriously, it was a good movie. And more of a Superman movie than Man of Steel could ever hope to be.)
4a. Some interesting trailers with it.
They're remaking Robocop. Except they've completely changed everything. It's a completely different concept with a main character who looks vaguely like Robocop and robot drones who look sort of like ED209. Also, Samuel L. Jackson is in it for some reason. I don't know. It doesn't seem to make much sense. And I think they're trying to make an offhand comment about drone warfare just because.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier looks pretty good, actually. (Also, I hear it's supposed to explain why SHIELD wasn't involved in Iron Man 3. Or Thor 2.) Marvel knows how to make a good superhero movie. (Took them long enough to figure it out, but they made it.)
X-Men: Days of Future Past also looks really good. Does seem a little heavy on the Wolverine, but I guess that's to be expected. Ever since X2, they've all been Wolverine movies. Except First Class. And Wolverine had the best line of the movie.
