So the electrical problems with my car continued yesterday, I had to replace the same fuse again, which struck me as odd… but then the car wouldn’t start at all. I got a jump and drove straight to the auto parts store, and replaced the battery (or “core” as they like to call them). Car started up fine, but the fuse blew again driving out of the parking lot. I’m hoping it’s just because it was mostly melted through from before. Now I’m out of 10A fuses again. Made it to the comic store after they closed, but since I’m such a regular customer (and since I spend quite a bit) they let me in because they were still there. They both happened to work in the auto industry for their “real” jobs, and they suggested removing the positive contact from the battery while it was running… if the engine cut out, I had a bad alternator, otherwise it was the battery. I got home and tried it, and the car kept running. It also started this morning with no problems, so I’m hoping I’m out of the woods (besides not having dashboard lights and clock until I get more fuses).
I also donated blood yesterday, which is funny because they tell you “no heavy lifting” afterwards, and I think “I never do any heavy lifting anyway” and then I end up having to lug a battery around later that day.
And on a completely separate note: Yoko Kanno is coming to AXNY!

Yoko Kanno is coming to AXNY!
At least it’s not Ono Yoko.
