Woke up to the sound of the falling rain this morning. It made for nice sleeping weather, but it lost some of it’s charm when I went outside to see where the rain was cascading over the gutters. Looks like I’ll be getting up on the roof in the near future…

For the past couple weeks I’ve been fighting another round of depression. This time feels more biological than caused by anything in particular at least. It’s a serious pain in the ass, but I usually just have to ride it until it’s over. Intellectually, I know that it’s just a mood that will pass, but it’s cold comfort in the middle of what feels like a gray, numbing haze. It’s been hard to focus on anything or care enough to make the effort. I’m over everything, every mistake seems ten miles high and every victory seems empty.

Anyway, I’m just writing this get some of it out of my system and for whoever actually cares to read this. Right now I need to get back to work and try to get something done.

I find a certain irony to a comic about drama llamas being delayed by…well, drama.

This is an ignition coil pack. Usually, it just minds it’s own business, sitting on top of your engine block, doing it’s thing. When it does it’s job, your car runs nicely. When it doesn’t, it runs like like chrome plated crap. You ever hear that saying, “not firing on all cylinders”? Well, this is one of the reasons why that saying is still around. I tell ya, no car will sound good when it’s running down the Interstate minus 1 cylinder. Doesn’t feel good either, it rides about as rough as it sounds!

Anyway, after much troubleshooting and repair on this problem, the comic isn’t going up today. It’s been a long day (after a week of them) and I need to rest my hand after working to pull those spark plugs. I plan to get the today’s comic up over the next couple days as I continue the preparation for DragonCon.  Until then, I hope to beat this week’s insomnia and get some rest for tomorrow.

Friday night came around again and I cooked another tasty meal for Angela! On the menu was steak with potato & garlic perogies topped with a creamy brandy mustard sauce and a side mushroom peas. We then drank red wine and watched silly movies (the first Harold & Kumar and Meet the Spartans) for the rest of the night.

Today I’m getting some stuff done at work remotely and Angela is taking it easy. Her parts are hurting and she needs the rest.
