I think I’m finally over the black pit of depression that was Sunday. More on that some other time though - lot of unresolved issues I still need to think and work through.

And the next time I’m in a complete and utter funk I will remember the following:

• Mindless entertainment helps drain away negative emotions. Especially when said entertainment involves demonspawn wielding a pair of handguns and a very big sword.
• Focused activity is great for avoiding being alone with your thoughts - try looking for strange bugs in code, or go climbing.
• When all else fails, add a jolt of pure terror to shock the system. Like the one that happens when there’s a red light at the major intersection up ahead, and you realise that due to overextertion during climbing, you can’t clench your hands far enough to pull the brakes on your bike.
