i think i'm dumb, or maybe just happy

Yeah, yeah, I know, no more Nirvana references in here, at least until the new year, because I'm over my quota and Courtney's probably gonna send me a bill for the royalties, 'cause you know she needs the money.

Be that as it may! I was in such a good mood yesterday that our Mr Barma actually asked me what was wrong with me. I told him I was cycling into a mania. The sad thing is I'm not sure he totally believed I was joking. For the record, I have never had an episode of mania, though I'm pretty sure I had a little period of hypomania on Paxil** But, y'know, if I start talking about cashing in my tanking 401k and taking the money to Vegas to play high-stakes blackjack, you people should probably hold an intervention. Because there's a first time for everything and I really suck at blackjack. Thanks!

Anyway. Then we watched that abomination of a Dodgers game, which I'm *sure* is just a prequel of the abomination of a Sox game that's gonna happen tonight. I am not predicting, however, that anyone on the Sox is gonna singlehandedly make three errors in one inning nor that Tito is gonna fuck up his substitutions like Joe Torre did. Also, I still maintain that Loney is not fit to lick Youk's spikes. None of that is going to lead to ultimate victory, however. Suckass Rays-Phillies Series, here we come. (And Manuel Aristides, you tried, papi, but you can't win a game all by yourself.)

And, despite this all, I'm still in a good mood! Maybe this is mania.

** So, when I was talking about this with Dr V, who was a really good pediatric psychopharmacologist before he decided to move back to friggin New Mexico, a few years ago in relation to D's family history, he asked me why I thought I'd been in hypomania. And I started telling him about how I'd behaved in ways that were unusual and out of character for me, like I met a guy online and flew off to NJ to spend a weekend with him, basically not telling anyone where I was really going. Dr V looked at me evenly and said, "Well. Maybe you just wanted a change." hahaha Remember how I was talking in here about medical professionals who wouldn't bat an eye or judge you no matter what you said to them? Yeah, that.
