Gah. I've been in the dumps before (spent a week this summer just completely, physically unable to write) but this is just bad. It's been weeks since I last wrote a post where I knew it hit the mark. Lately it's just been rote and boring and terribad and not directed at all.

Thought I hit my stride again the other day, but showed the post to a friend and got the review of, "You sick or something? Not really your usual." Ugh. Guess I'm not back in on the pace yet. ...
