My room smells of dry dust and I can’t figure out where it’s coming from. I’ve kicked up a lot of dust from my cleaning activities but this has a very specific dirt smell that comes from outside when the wind is up. Except it’s not windy right now and it’s pretty moist. I keep thinking it has to be coming from the vents but it doesn’t seem to be focused there in any way. I need to fill up a humidifier and see if that changes the situation at all.

I used to have a backup battery for my old tower computer. The one I used to make the comic originally. It finally died after nearly 15 years of continuous service. I didn’t realize it had failed until the other day when I went to see if my old computer remembered how to rip CDs. It wouldn’t power on no matter what I did. I know it’s needlessly sentimental but I always feel sad whenever something that served me so well for so long finally fails. I tried a fresh battery in it, but it still wouldn’t power on. Whatever failed failed enough that it’s beyond my skill to fix. I have to say though, the battery lasted way longer than the normal lifespan for one. 5 years is considered normal and it lasted for about 3 times that long. Anyway, I probably won’t replace it since I don’t have to rely on that computer for anything outside of absolute emergencies, plus I have my original Surface that still works well enough to make comics if my new one gets broken and need to be repaired. In case you’re wondering it was a very old Cyberpower backup. Assuming they still make them as well as my old one they’re a very good value if you’re in the market for one. The new ones are taller and look very different, but I should think they’ve been improving them in the decade and a half since I bought one, so they should be extremely good by now. I know that doesn’t really hold true for most things, but it would be nice if it did. Probably you should do research before making a purchase rather than listening to me.

Well, I’d better get back to cleaning. I piled a bunch of stuff on my sleeping spot on the floor and I don’t want to get too tired to pick it up before bedtime. Have a nice Wednesday and I hope to see you back here on Friday. Until then, take a bite out of crime.
