Friday the thirteenth, part 1

[mdlbear]

I seem to be depressed these days -- it's not helping me get stuff done. The blasted rat traps have completely defeated me, and the flower_cat finds me hard to be around. Which feeds back, of course.

On the other hand, I put down guitar tracks for "Wannabe" and "TEOTW", so that's good. Maybe they'll even be useable -- I probably need to get in one more round, but instead I'm heading off to work. We'll see.

I'm sorry you're feeling down. Maybe getting out in the sunshine (if there's any handy) would help? I know you already exercise, which is my usual fallback when I feel depressed.

About the rat traps--being female, and therefore not as strong as the world seems to think should be the default, I end up using tools a lot to get a mechanical advantage. I often get good results by securing things in a vise (I'm fortunate enough to have access to a rusty, but functional, benchtop model) and gripping them with pliers.

Problem with the rat-traps is that they seem to trigger under their own weight. I can set them just fine, but they don't stay set. Might be just a flaky batch, but...

It was raining yesterday... might have had something to do with it.

Hmm. Bad. Flaky batch or not, I think that sounds like a product that it would be reasonable to return.

I hope your finger is okay.

Well, we got 'em for free from the Terminix man, so returning them isn't necessary. I bought some glue traps on the way home.

Your CD arrived sometime this afternoon -- I'm looking forward to listening to it later this evening!
