I choose ignorance

progI need to take a break from Reading the Internet... somehow, even though I kinda need to stay connected for professional reasons if nothing else. But I need to reduce or maybe just eliminate my usual LJ→BoingBoing→RSS→repeat cycle for a while. Time was it would just be a timesink, but now its helping me maintain my state of being a twitching, foaming wreck.
My baseline anger level has risen too much, too quickly, after nearly two years of calm. It's not good for me. Maybe I'll just take a day off and see what happens. (I haven't checked my LJ flist today yet. I love you all but its making me so sick.) (Yes, clearly I'm talking about Spore. Ha ha.)
My best hope is that after a little while I'll be able to swallow my anger and just live with it, unpleasant as it is, for as long as necessary. But when there's a fresh new outrage (or two) every goddamn day, boy, it can be hard to find equilibrium, you know?

I generally don't get angry at internet news -- it's more a feeling of jaw-dropping disbelief.
What I do get angry about are those stupid 'cable news' programs where they have these talking head so called political experts having to blast their opinion at each other in 15 seconds or less because the show's format doesn't allow for an actual useful discussion.
