Terribly belated holiday wishes to all, and hopes for a wonderful new year to all--here's to 2007.I'm only caught up on mail now and wanted to thank everyone for the holiday cards and such as well.Perhaps a new years goal will be to actually post in a timely manner!current mood:  nostalgic |

I haven't been around yet again, so please continue to e-mail me if anything is needed or point me in the right direction of things. And forgive the comment spam on entries that are a month old.My faulty Internet set-up decided to leave me (damn thing is smart enough to migrate for the winter?) so I had to give into cable internet which has been working beautifully now. (To the local cable guy reading this -- *love*!)The last bits of my sanity migrated for the winter as well, so I've given in to trying yet another mind med. Hopefully it's only until spring comes back, and hopefully it actually works. If anyone out there has experience with Strattera, please let me know the good, the bad and the ugly.I finally have a domain where photography and other pursuits will go soonly. And one of these days I'll make a post that is more than just comments on being eternally behind and questions about pills. Really.current mood:  nervous (5 comments |comment on this) |

I'm forever behind on all things Internet. Please e-mail me, point me to entries, call or text (if you need my number ask and if my paranoid personality isn't around it's for the taking!) if you need me.Meanwhile, Shortbus opened in NY on Oct. 4th, and is also now playing in L.A. and San Francisco. Check out the list here for listings of engagements in other cities. (Oct. 13th, Oct. 20th and beyond). If you can, please support the film by seeing it opening weekend in your city as those numbers help decide how long a film will stay in the cinema and if it will be picked up by other theatres. I know I'm probably biased, but this work of art is an absolute gift and for me, part of a life-changing experience. It's beyond words and so I'll digress and stop with my plugging... just remember to get on the bus!And because words fail me, and although this is completely unrelated, more random shots from Chicago over a year ago.( 4 at the pierCollapse ) current mood:  drained (5 comments |comment on this) |

OK, Who out there went under the cloak of 'Anonymous' to make an otherwise bleak day have a very happy and unexpected surprise?Until I crack the tricky 'Anonymous' code, many, many thanks and I'm off to the "My Computer Beeps At Me And Shuts Down For No Reason Anonymous" meeting.current mood:  grateful (3 comments |comment on this) |

2 photos of my local library. The first photo shows visually how I often feel, I believe...**( 2 photosCollapse )**Meanwhile, brain fog is evil and I ask--if you were a digicam reader card, where would you be?

Happy Canada Day -- and slightly related, I'm considering a holiday in Canada soon. Hence a poll, because I have lost all ability to make decisions--thank you, mind meds! What's your favourite airline to use?? OK, What's best? Flying, your phobic nature be damned! Taking the train, scenic route-a-go-go. P.S. Anyone have any migraine cures?P.P.S. Anyone I know interested in grabbing the plane, train or automobile with me if I decide to go? (I'm too cryptic at the moment to give all the details, but just think film festival...)current mood:  sore (5 comments |comment on this) |

In between the visit to suburbia, the computer problems and the mind problems (oh, does my computer take after it's owner!) I have a lot of catching up to do. If you get comment spam that's about a month late, it hasn't been any time warp but my own... and if there is anything in particular you want me to see, please e-mail me or comment. I've missed everyone and missed keeping up!Thanks to the genius of our youth, a special someone and small miracles, I have my laptop back. With my hard drive. All my memories and files and work at my fingertips again. Now it's just time for catch up.Meanwhile, my mind and body have been acting up like a shut down hard drive. The following is what's going on in that ever so exciting and neurotic world. For anyone on any of these types of medications (particularly the sedatives, Cymbalta and Wellbutrin) I'm wondering if I can hear experiences or side effects or... all that jazz.**( medication merry go roundCollapse )**So that's where I'm at right now. I am definitely not myself, I feel like the me of a few years ago, which I know isn't the real me. The real me, the new me is still here somewhere and I'm determined to get it back. I'm just frustrated I lost it due to some anti depressants. I want to get back to feeling the way I do and to experiencing my life here fully, and the speedier that happens, the better.current mood:  unwell (6 comments |comment on this) |

| 1:40 am - Computer Breakdown |
If pets take after their owners, I've decided that computers must take after their owners as well.My computer, after several little mini breakdowns over the past few months, finally shut down completely some days ago. When I got it fixed, it only confirmed it being the worst case scenario, and then they managed to make it even worse. So I was left with my old computer (with all the memories attached) completely unable to work even though they installed a new hard drive against my will and said they re installed windows so it would at least get the basics. But I turn it on and it turns off right away, whilst they had it they seemed to have managed to ruin the plug and/or battery. Then next to it I was left with my old precious hard drive, completely broken and unable to retrieve anything.I know it sounds trivial, but I have so many pieces of me and so much of my life on that hard drive. Every photograph I've ever taken, or saved. Every piece of writing. Every piece of music. Every bookmark and things I wanted to comment on here. So much...If anyone knows the cheapest possible way to get those complicated file retrieval things done, I'd appreciate any idea. I don't know when I'll be able to afford it but I think I'll have to. Everything is there and I feel lost without it.Thanks to a certain someone I have been saved and have a beautiful computer to borrow from a beautiful person. But if there was something I needed to comment on of yours, please e-mail me or point it out to me as I need to start anew.I am also extremely sleep deprived as I stayed awake all night for the whole computer repairing destroying, along with being sick and all that jazz. I don't know when I'll be able to catch up or when I'll be able to make sense, but I am back. I'm still just too out of it to be much good, but I'm back!& If anyone does have any advice at all about the complicated file retrieval, much would be appreciated. I know I should have had a back up system, but I guess I didn't learn.current mood:  worried (19 comments |comment on this) |

I have an out of town guest and way too much stress in general lately, without enough sedatives. Time has gotten away with me, and I'm ruining my Oscar pool tradition, but I just can't let it go without making a post or making some kind of game.& So. Use the comments and predict something to do with Oscar night. Or express an opinion. Bring your own game.& I'll pick a winner one way or another. There's no rules. Make a prediction, make a quotable quote, do a little song and dance, do something in honour of the Oscar holiday.current mood:  lethargic (8 comments |comment on this) |

My computer is only working for about 10 minutes at a time or so before having a fit and shutting down and refusing to work. I think it takes after me...So if I'm not around or if I'm behind on all things Internet, there it is. If you need me, you know where to find me, and hopefully the computer will heal itself and all will be well. I think, knock on wood, the computer is getting better, and now I'm just getting more and more sick. It's a trade.Just a silly little appropriate photo from a street fair in May:( 1 photoCollapse ) current mood:  sick (6 comments |comment on this) |
