sick and exhausted

I am writing this with very little energy. Please, pass this along to my loved ones if I die. Just kidding. I didn't get sick the entire winter, which was very unusual. I started taking this drug cocktail of vitamin C, fish oil, and a multi-vitamin that seemed to do the trick, at least until I didn't take it for about a week while on vacation. Now, I have a lovely sinus infection and probably an upper respiratory infection as well. Not sure if coincidence or not, but here I am, sick anyway.

While I have bouts of slight energy, I have been playing Banished (with the Colonial Charter mod) and watching the grilling of Facebook's CEO by members of congress, and it's been pretty interesting. Lots of unanswered questions and what seem like outright lies to me by Zuck. He also looks like a lizard, so I'm sure that fuels the fires of the lizard people conspiracy theorists.

What it sounds like to me is that members of congress are hedging around new legislature regarding free speech on the internet, or at least, that's what I'm hoping (even though I hate the idea of more laws, but since we aren't actually free in the country, damned if we do/damned if we don't).

They called a lady a "gentlewoman" and, while I've heard that term before, I can't feel comfortable with it. It's a strange, antiquated term and I don't like it!

Fuck, you guys. I can't keep my eyes open. This isn't meant to be a diary, so I will stop this post and write later when I can be focused.

visual snow

Have you ever heard of visual snow? I hadn't ever heard the term, but I've dealt with it for a while now. I thought I was losing my mind until I finally was able to find other stories/descriptions of other people experiencing the same problem that I was having. I tried to tell my eye doctor last year, but he wasn't really listening. I think he was trying to have a normal eye exam, since I was at a WalMart and all, and anything extra was just that. Extra. Visual snow is something that I have been dealing with, like I said, for a while, but I didn't really have a descriptor for it, except that I was calling it "seeing stars." It was the equivalent of when cartoon characters get hit in the head and have stars circling their vision. I started seeing these stars of sorts after I moved across the country and started experiencing really extreme anxiety. Strangely enough, some correlations exist between not only anxiety and this visual snow, but also with depersonal...

when your fandoms collide

Dude, I love when pieces of my world come together without my influence (merely because I like both things, not because I have any influence). I just came across a video of (audio of) Opie and Anthony with Jim Norton talking about Red Letter Media's Mr. Plinkett Star Wars review and howling laughing. It's seriously just great that I spent the entire day being sick and watching middle-aged women talking about Tupperware hauls on YT only to find this at the end of the day. Like a cherry on top of a shit-filled plastic lidded dish. I think it's not too far a stretch to think that all these guys would be aware of each other due to the cynicism they all share. And here I am, consuming all of it instead of working on my own cynical asshole content myself. Good going, Quinn!
