I admit it openly now: I have been depressed for at least a couple of months now. I have taken steps to prevent it from taking too deep a toll on my life, but I ran out of clean dishes almost two weeks ago and I’ve only showered once so far in September. I was writing about being conflicted over doing more comics, trying to decide what words should follow, and I thought that maybe I should mention how my depression was not helping me really focus on getting things done. Then my mind immediately popped up to try to defend itself against depression, trying to give examples of how it’s not all bad. I remembered something I got in the mail this week, and all of a sudden a smile broke my face.

Still stressing out about comics
I am slowly becoming despondant about the prospect of doing more comics. I think a big part of it is the sheer volume of work that is required to create what I have in mind for comics. I’ve made dozens of comics in the last few weeks, but three fourths of them amount to little more than fifteen seconds of dialogue from a series of bad radio commercials transcribed across the top of the same three or four simplistic doodles that might be talking heads. The fourth set of strips DOES have original drawings in every panel, but when you see it you’ll know why I’m not entirely proud of that accomplishment. (I’ll say now that of the comics I’ve done so far, I am happiest with those. I really like them quite a lot.)
This just in… Thou shalt not kill
In a shocking move, God himself made a personal appearance recently to clarify his position on murder.
Just a note…
Just FYI, the two posts I put up at just before 6AM this morning were actually written last night on my laptop. I wasn’t watching Love Cruise at 5:30 this morning. I was watching it last night when it aired. I didn’t go to sleep right after 5:50AM, I went to sleep around 10:30PM, last night.
Just thought I’d be sure that was clear, since I don’t seem to be able to bodify the time and date on those entries.
I know… thousands of people do it all the time
I was about to brush my teeth and go to sleep, and I thought that maybe I should put on a CD to listen to while brushing, flossing, then trying to sleep. I knew it was late already, but I had a CD in mind, and I wasn’t really feeling tired yet. Then as I was looking through my collection of over 400 cds, some hundred or more I never listen to at all, several titles caught my eye and put a song in my ear. There was only a song or two on the album I was looking for that made me want to grab it (although with this one I normally listen to the whole thing), and I thought to myself that it sure was too bad that I couldn’t just put one track from this other album on that one…
Wait. I can.
