Listening to audio books
Feb. 27th, 2021 10:51 pmI'm trying to get more into audio books as a way to get reading back as a hobby. There's a bit of a learning curve. I'd like something to do with my hands while I listen, as a way to help me focus. Something that requires passive attention, but does not trigger RSI pain. Still experimenting with this. I'm a bit bored of all my familiar computer games.
Today I listed to Murderbot #3, Rogue Protocol I think is the title. It's harder to remember titles when you don't have the paper book in your hand. I found my attention drifting some during the action parts, but I got the gist of it, and I like the reader, who is Kevin R. Free. I think he was on Welcome to Night Vale. I enjoy Murderbot's humor. There's somewhat of a trope of the grumpy warrior who keeps saving people and making friends despite themself; I love this trope. Think Wolverine (X-men), and the Mandalorian. All I need now is for Murderbot to adopt a wayward child.
I'm a bit bored in general; I don't have enough energy to do interesting things, or like, the executive function I can borrow from other people's energy when doing things together...because we mostly can't do things together these days.
My parents have got their first dose of the vaccine. A relief.
Grateful for my roommate, who cooked dinner tonight.
