On the psychological front things have been less uplifting. Today has been a very emotionally challenging day for me in meatspace. I haven't really been over-listening to the news though. I did finish reading a book. Well technically I finished it yesterday, but after I wrote the last update. The book was The Grays by Whitley Strieber. Honestly it wasn't very well written. It was a nice reprieve from reality though, nonetheless. It's funny how these days a story about aliens abducting people seems calming by comparison to what's going on out there.
