My night ended with learning about the death of Scott Weiland. Dead at 48 on a tour bus in Minnesota. Shitty way to go  in a shitty place. Makes not seeing him in October even sadder. 48. That's me in months. Dead. Of course, I am not doing crack or heroin every day so odds are I am okay. Still makes you think doesn't it?You get past a certain age and everyone is dying around you. Lovely. I got to share this news with kid at 10pm last night. She wasn't too thrilled with the news either. Lousy way to end a lousy day.

Jumped in to my documents early in the morning just like I will today. I managed to get through all of the slide content by around 3. Today I start adding demos. I expect that to take me 2-3 days. I should be able to have this finished before we leave for MI. That's the goal at least.

I made two stops in the morning. One to get my meds from Walgreens, the other to pick up glue to hopefully repair my statue. I haven't touched him since 8:30am yesterday and in 3.5 hours I will see if it is cured. After working I took a nap as I was still in a lousy mood. Watched the season premiere of Top Chef season 13. I stopped watching the show after season 8 as they started doing too many weird ones like All Stars and Masters. I figured what the heck, let's give it a shot. I forgot how much I enjoy watching real chefs work.

I also continued my research into new media servers. Based on everything I read, Plex it seems is the best option for me. I am still investigating Kody but it has too much configuration options for what I need. I just need a simple interface and Plex is winning. I will play with it more this weekend and see what it does.

I was still in a crappy mood yesterday. Between bills, work, travel, my broken statue, and just life in general, I couldn't shake it. I am starting to feel better today. I do appreciate that when these moments hit I don't respond like I used to and go out drinking or being stupid. Yes, I may shut down and be unresponsive, but at least I won't end up like Scott Weiland.
