May did nothing to restore my hopes, but at least I'm enjoying Dungeon Crawler Carl (while it lasts). I keep feeling like I'm pouring all my energy into things that will not matter.

- The Six Deaths of the Saint, by Alix E. Harrow
- Skeleton Song, by Seanan McGuire
- Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir
April... existed. Work exists, and I haven't been fired. Yet. But I'm still generally discouraged about the whole situation; you never get a second chance at a first impression, and it's been clear from day one, hour one that I am not who they wanted and I never will be. Reading time is also being consumed by my efforts to attain a skill that might bring extra income, plus the world continues to be horrible in all manner of ways at all levels.

March 31, 2026 - Four new reviews:
- Carl's Doomsday Scenario, by Matt Dinniman
- The Dragon Quintet, by Michael Kaye (editor)
- Pulling the Wings Off Angels, by K. J. Parker
- Damsel, by Evelyn Skye
Last month ended with my tablet effectively dying on me, which set a tone that March did little to counter. I still am not convinced my current job is viable long-term (let's just say it's proving the old adage that not all bullies use fists), yet family and other matters keep eating the time, energy, and money I'd hoped to dedicate to finding an alternate income stream, while the job market remains as empty as an aquafier next to an AI data center. And then, of course, there's... well, literally everything else remotely good or hopeful being smashed like a cheap Tokyo movie set by human kaiju with too much power and money and not a lick of wisdom, empathy, or basic long-term thinking skills.
