Happy birthday, Frisco!

Ah, yes. I remember these days. And it was exactly like that- could fall asleep just fine but slept very lightly and couldn't fall back asleep once awoken. What helped for me was taking the extended release flavor all at once first thing in the morning.

I do take the extended-release as soon as I get up. I think it might be an issue with the pharmacokinetics of the generic version being CRAP. I'm probably going to have to ask my doctor to switch me to the brand version.

Huh. I find 6 hours of sleep pretty much suits me fine.

I think it might be an issue with the pharmacokinetics of the generic version being CRAP. I'm probably going to have to ask my doctor to switch me to the brand version.

When I first switched to XL it was name brand, so you may be on to something there. I've had the generic for the last 6? months and things have been more or less the same as on the Wellbutrin brand though. But I think my system was much more used to things, I was on brand for over a year before then.

Happy Birthday, Frisco!

But I think my system was much more used to things,

I'm (unfortunately) really sensitive to drug weirdness, so I'm not surprised this is happening. Just frustrated and ready to take a Jim Morrison-level amount of narcotics just to help me sleep for more than 6 goddamn hours. In a row.

So Blago is going on The View today - should be entertaining. For those not following along at home, so far this weekend we've learned that: his arrest was just like the attacks on Pearl Harbor but he knows he can get through all this because Gandhi, King, and Mandela faced similar challenges and triumphed. Also, he had two lawyers, one being the guy who actually got R. Kelly off and one being Some Other Guy. Other Guy, who is apparently behind this "PR" blitz is also apparently the modern Clarence Darrow.

So R. Kelly guy has now quit, meaning that possibly the one person you can't compare Blagojevich to is O.J. Simpson, who at least had the sense not to piss all over F. Lee Bailey et al.

I'm remembering why I don't usually take cold medicine. I took a Tylenol Cold this morning to clear out my nose before getting on the subway (if my sinuses are too clogged I get motion sick going underground and on elevators) and I feel like my head is about to float away. I can't concentrate on anything and my eyes are having trouble focusing. (This is possibly why I have never done any illegal drugs. If fucking sudafed can make me feel this high, I fear the effects of anything stronger.)

Happy Birthday, Frisco!

Some people like watching cute animals on-line, others are into Bus Tracker. [link]

Norwegians are either utterly fascinated with the comings and goings of CTA buses, or there just aren't enough recreational activities in the land of fiords and Viking ships.

The CTA Bus Tracker Web site has received 15,395 visits since last year from people in Norway or whose computers or personal wireless devices were registered in that country.

Behind Norway in visitor volume was Canada, 3,903 Web hits; followed by "undetermined," 3,676; United Kingdom, 1,497; Germany, 1,022; France, 790; Spain, 507; Japan, 393; and India, 366.

Among the international community, the 129 Filipinos who browsed the Bus Tracker site stayed there the longest, 32 minutes. Surely, their bus would've arrived by then, right?

Blago is doing all the media he can.

So embarrassing for IL.

Meanwhile, the kitties are awake and INSANELY active. Why is there no sound on the kitty cam?

Wait - the CTA>? Norwegians are following buses in Chicago?
