Body: Healthy (walking, lots of sleep)
Mind: Fascinated (documentaries)
Spirit: Relaxed (lots of family, helped with kittens)
Post-Christmas is going pretty well. It looks like there will be relatively little time in-between the festivities of Christmas and the festivities of New Year's and the weekend it occurs on. As a result, I'm just using these couple of days to rest and enjoy life. I'll start acting like a proper adult in 2016. :)
My attention is currently dominated by the WWII documentary World at War. It's a lot different watching war documentaries now than when I was younger. Young men tend to be fascinated by the trappings of war: how cool the flying fortresses are, how valiant the troops were. While that stuff is all still present for me, I think I have more context and imagination for the harsher realities, like the families that suffered, and the troops too. And how senseless it all was, thanks to a few blustering bullies (Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin). Stalin ended up on the allied side, sure, but he was cut from the same cloth.
I am sleeping a ton right now, which is very pleasant. I'm having a lot of bizarre dreams, including a couple of lucid dreams here and there, which I enjoy. I don't manage to stay lucid for very long, but the brief moments that I can, I quite enjoy the sensation, as it's like having your own magical theme park to explore.
I'll have to hit the AI pretty hard in the new year, but that should be fun.
