Evil Bob: Lawful good since 2038!

Where's my enthusiasm gone these days? I'm sure that I used to be so insanely eager to game that I'd play anything from Fluxx to F.A.T.A.L. just to say I was gaming!
Actually, I don't think I ever would have said yes to F.A.T.A.L. to be honest, but you know what I mean.
But I'm getting pickier. I avoided an online auction of Boardgames recently because the lots had games in them I didn't want as well as those I did. I haven't found time to write and run an RPG in months!! Worse still, one of my friends has and I find myself feeling picky and disinterested in it - which is not how I want to be! I want to be gaming!
In fact, I've been feeling downright grumpy lately. I shot down an offer to play Sentinels of the Multiverse because I wasn't tremendously excited by it the first time I played, then was dismissive of some of my friends because they tried a variant of Eminent Domain (a game which, whilst by no means perfect, probably doesn't need meddling with to be fun). While I don't regret having a different opinion, I do dislike feeling like a troll.
I've cut my comic order back to nearly nothing (although I may well pick up a few trades based on the advice of MasterGeek Talks Comics, which I'm enjoying immensely) and I haven't touched a video game in months either. I tried to update my RPG wishlist for the Christmas exchanges and found that there's nothing new I want... My time on the Geek is feeling a bit flat too; like I'm going through the motions. I haven't done anything big, new and exciting here in a while and it's like I'm losing my touch.
Even playing Legend of the Five Rings yesterday just didn't thrill me.
The irksome truth is that I'm finding less time to game and when I do, it feels like my taste is drifting away from that of my group. This is not a preferable state of affairs.
Much as I use a crab as my avatar, I'm not crabby in general and I don't like being a drain on the energy of a group, I much prefer to generate it with them.
I need a shot in the arm. Some inspiration I can't ignore, a reason to be passionate about my gaming again, a project, a pump, a cause. Anyone got something for me?
