You know, for a day that's supposedly the peak of depression for the entire world, I feel really pepped up and chipper.

Yeah, there's something amusingly wrong there.

Also, it seems that we need to hit Alex with a wrench more often: He'd "lost" the manual for the motherboard in Lisa's new PC (we're breadboarding from around the house), and couldn't figure out the model of the motherboard.

One (accidental) hit to the head with a freezer door later, he not only remembered that the model was printed RIGHT NEXT TO THE DIMM SLOT, but that he had the manual in his desk.

Service your gook frequently, ladies and gents - maintinence is critical for proper operation.

Now we just need to get windows on the hard disk, load in the slave drive from Lisa's old PC, pop in her DVD drive, and she's in buisness.

Ok, time for lunch. Ta!

actually, it's only supposed to be The Shittiest Day of the Year for people living in the Northern hemisphere, and for those of us in the UK in particular.

People South of the equator are doinmg pretty well, with long summer days.

Ahhhh. The paper's headline didn't mention that.

Sadly, I'm not in el mundo del sur, though given the way I burn rather than tan, that might be for the best.

Though I'll admit it'd be nice to actually see the sun...

Your percussive maintenance must have reactivated soem dead links in his brain. Good for you!

Yep. Don't ask why I didn't think of that sooner.

Most people tend to use percussive maint as a last resort technique. Sort of like Goku giving himself a hernia to go to yet another Super Saiyajin level, or Sailor Moon going up to Princess Serenity. It's just the last thing you do, and then it all gets blown away.

Once again, we're shown just how powerful our choices of mind can be--we decided to be happy, and we're both happy.

I like this quote from bites_the_sun about the "most depressing day of the year":

Apparently cold, dark and post-Xmas financial worries make people feel really, really bad, while booking or going on a holiday somewhere warm makes them feel better. Who knew?

I wish someone would pay me to state the blindingly obvious for a living.
