Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I assumed they were more efficiently Big Brothering me. Oh well.

If you read any of the Gawker network, you'd be excused believing that Larry Page is on the brink of launching Skynet for reals. I don't like the erosion of privacy, but I am really tired of the Chicken Littles running around and forgetting the last company that they thought violated their basic civil rights. One day it's "How do I ditch all Microsoft products?" Then it's how do you live without iTunes, and now everyone must get rid of Gmail, or the world as they know it will come to an end.

I don't believe Google's not evil, but that's because I don't believe any large company's not evil. Some are worse than others, but none of them have *my* karmic health as a best interest. I don't think you can get that big and be distracted by stuff like that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

It's not so much $$$ as it is time/difficulty of travel (I'd rather not fly if at all possible) and how much of a Herculean task it is to get him ready to go out of town.

Oh, I see. Is next year Middle or East?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

JZ, I found out not too long ago that the last Civil War veteran died in 1952. And into the 1980s there were widows and/or daughters of Civil War veterans living in a home for them in ... Richmond, I think.

Thrive to spite them

So, I'm not going off Seroquel. My pdoc said after seeing my lab work and seeing how well I'm handling my first New England winter (albeit a very very mild winter) he doesn't want to mess with the good thing I've got.

My lab worked showed my cholesterol numbers were really good and I'm not anywhere close to being pre diabetic (a worry with Serquel).

Basically I'm fat but healthy and mentally stable. He didn't even tell me to try exercising more or eating healthy

I'm not sure. I kind of lost track.

My doctor never took me off anti-depressants in the winter. He said that's just tempting fate. (I know Seroquel isn't an AD, but it is psychoactive.) If you really want to go off of it, maybe talk to him again in the summer and see if that would be a better time to do it.

Relatedly, this is the first winter in 15 years I've been un-medicated (I stopped the Wellbutrin back in May), and I am astonished that I haven't had a recurrence of depression. I honestly think giving up gluten has a lot to do with it (considering that 95% of the body's serotonin is made in the GI tract, etc.).

He wasn't going to take me off now it was going to be in the spring/summer. But he had talked like I was agreeing for me to try Lithium.

I see him again in seven weeks so I can bring it up again then.

It's nice out so I called Mom and went for a walk while we talked, and that ended up being almost 30 minutes.

I have a feeling a better tech-geek than I could explain this better....

Erin, you know march 8 is day before sxsw starts so it will be nuts in austin.

I forgot I had a friend who moved to Austin, and she said she'd be happy to put me up and pick me up from the aeroporto and drop me off at the convention center, if I can swing the other costs.

And she reminded me of SXSW. Which to my little brain just means there might be more articles I could get out of my trip, if I can swing it. And I really think I might; I found a $106 RT ticket at Southwest.
