Holy hell.
I just got an email from a girl that broke up with me in November 2002; I hadn't heard from her since January 2003, and I never really got over her.
Wow. Woah. Um. I don't know what to think about this. I'm simultaneously floored with surprise and kicked involuntarily back into my mindset from three/four years ago. Once the shock wears off,...

Man, trying to sleep while under the influence of Adderall is totally fruitless. Oh, wait, that's because Adderall is pure amphetamine. Duh on my part!
I bought some more Tofurky, more broccoli and califlower, a packet of spelt flour bagels, and yet another vegan cheese which turned out to be, as expected, bland and rubbery. I kind of overindulged on the Tofurky, via sandwiches, and...

I had an extremely strange dream yesterday. It's barely describable, but I'll try. The world, or really, the part of the world I was in, was under attack by aliens. Eventually, they won, and forcably converted everyone to Christianity via constant booming public service announcements, kind of like the "OBEY" signs in the film They Live, with mostly the same message, only aural rather than...

I woke up at about 9:00 tonight with a great deal of pain in my left hand. Turns out I was bitten by a spider, even though I was wearing a carpal tunnel glove which covered the bite site (the webbing between thumb and forefinger). Once I got out of bed and turned on the lights, a visual inspection of the painful area was made,...

If it's a common house spider of any sort you'll get a small red welt that will go away in a few hours or days. If it's a brown recluse the welt will get big and painful within a few hours, with the real tell-tale sign being that the center of the bite will generally start to turn dark within 4-6 hours after the bite. Necrosis won't set in [if it ever does] till days later after the flesh in the center of the bite starts to die from lack of blood flow. The venom constricts the blood vessels in the skin, and without prompt antibiotic treatment the skin in the bite area can start to rot.
~ a year ago I woke early one morning with an itchy lump on my rump, figured it was a flea bite from my girlfriend's cat, went back to sleep. Woke a few hours later and it was a big lump, hurt, and the center was already turning black. I knew exactly what it was... brown recluse bite... I'd seen them before. Sat on a bag of frozen peas [cold slows the venom's action] while I called around to figure out where to go to. No insurance so sat in the waiting room of a "quick care" place for three hours just to pay $100 to get a $60 prescription for Keflex.
Necrosis happens in "only" ~50% of brown recluse cases, and often that stems from the victim not getting antibiotics till days later. No rot for me, but it took a full 3 months for all traces of the bite to fade. I'm a bit arachnophobic now and shake out every piece of clothing before putting it on and the sheets at night. Have NO desire to go thru that again!

For fuck's sake. Honestly.
I just spent 8+ hours hacking Broadcom's WIDCOMM bluetooth drivers/stack. ("Aww, widdle biddy comm!") Just so I could listen to what ended up (by the time I was finished) an hour's worth of music before I leave work for the day.
For whatever reason, my bluetooth adapter (Targus ACB10US) and headphones (Motorola HT820) were...

After having the doctor's office call me to reschedule the day before my appointment last week, I had to abandon the thought of seeing him this past Thursday. Instead, I went this afternoon.
It was productive, such as it is.
I revealed how I'd been Ambien's bitch for too long and that I wanted to stop taking it. He said that he's heard a lot...

Since I've got that bitter parasuicidal groove thing going on lately (see my previous entry for further details), I've been listening to accordingly parasuicidal music. Here's a playlist for you to assemble and use to accompany your despair:
01. Concrete Blonde - Tomorrow, Wendy
02. Xymox - Imagination
03. Lycia - Everything is cold
04. Joy Division - Isolation
05. Nick Cave & The Bad...

God, i hate when a shrink's way of helping is to prescribe more drugs.
because that's the best way to fight depression. the addiction to the new drug will totally eclipse the earlier depression and make it all better, right?
Sorry, more of a personal rant, there... anyway, good luck

Hey, look! It's my primary World of Warcraft character, live in real time! Well, real time as of yesterday.
I cleaned my apartment this evening, and despite this I've been feeling pretty blah lately. I think it might be time for a shake-up; a psychiatry appointment and ideally some different meds. Hopefully new meds that I won't get addicted to, because part of my...

You know I had the same problem.... go to management.... they have to supply these things, or at least know where to get them being they have to do it tooo..... thats how I got mine. Anyways.... the meds are a big issue no doubt there, though I have never taken meds but was addicted to coke for about a year.... I am so glad to not be on that shit.... but then at one time I was taking morphene and that was awsome till I over dosed.... bad juju...... my boyfriend found me in the bathroom naked hanging off the lu'. bad times man... though now I would give anything for a sleeping pill cause I can not sleep for a damn hour without waking up.... WIDE AWAKE! good luck hope you get less addictive things to make things better.... have you ever just tried smoking pot? I think thats about the nicest natural healer around thought the government tends to think not being they cant tax it... lil bitches....

Happy St. Patricks Day...enjoy it!
Happy St. Patricks Day...enjoy it! Well, here I am back at the office, finally. Prior to this week I'd been working from home since August 31 -- the day I arrived in Nashville during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. And so right now I'm sitting in a $200 office chair on the 10th floor of Poydras Centre in downtown New Orleans, which is, as far as I can tell, devoid...

Thank you, THANK YOU for mentioning the "Indian Revoval Act" in the thread about the top ten fucked up things that presidents have done. The point I was trying to make got lost amid some shit about Clinton.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.
Either way, cheers and thanks for making a point that fucking needs to be heard!!

Well, I used to live down that way myself, in Jackson, MS, so I've been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras before. It wasn't my favorite time to visit the city for the reasons you mentioned, but I'd take that over preparing a spreadsheet at my desk in Los Angeles, thank you very much!
