Something's happening to me...

I have more energy, drive, and motivation. Things are getting done. I've been tidying my nest. Emails are getting answered. I'm writing more. And my sex drive has returned.

Either the new meds are working, or the light is returning for Spring. I can't rule either one out. I'm rarely depressed in Spring. I haven't used my lightbox much this winter.

If I could be like this more, life would be sweet!

Birthday wish list

Several people have asked me what I want for my birthday.

I would absolutely love an LJ gift subscription.

I've also updated my Amazon.com wish list (hint, hint) if you're so inclined...


Plus Cash, Aleve, and Cigarettes (Marlboro Ultra Light 100s) are always welcome!

Obama's message to the people of Iran

Wow, this is so cool!

Obama really amazes me sometimes. He actually respects diplomacy, and shows respect to the Iranian people! Could you imagine W doing something as classy as this?

There's an old Vulcan proverb, "Only Nixon could go to China." Maybe its time for a new one: "Only Obama could go to Iran."

The Israeli hawks aren't going to be happy about this. They want the U.S. to go to war with Iran.

My only quibble with his speech is that he said "relations between our nations have been strained for three decades." Actually, it's closer to six, since the CIA and British Petroleum overthrew Iran's democratic Mosaddeq government in 1953. But hey, who's counting, right?

No good deed goes unpunished

During today's "good deed" adventures at Ted's, my cell phone somehow got crunched. The screen is completely shattered.

Now, I haven't had actual cell service on the thing for over a year now (can't afford it without a job), so no big loss there, but I've used the thing faithfully for other purposes. With its demise, I no longer have a pocketwatch, alarm clock, calculator, address book, and worst of all, camera. All of these functions still work, of course, but without a screen, it's all useless.

The phone lasted a little over 2 years.

So.

Anyone want to buy me an iPhone for my birthday? ;-)
