I just offered someone a bottle of wine in exchange for a taxidermied bullfrog playing an upright bass.
I think my day has reached maximum surreality.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As soon as I get it (I think tonight). I believe it will be an excellent birthday present for my brother (who does in fact play bass).

I like this blog post:
MAAAAAARS!
I’m just sayin’, is all.
I love how crazy Twitter is going tonight. I love that people are gathering at Times Square chanting, “Science! Science! Science!” I think we needed this. Thank you, NASA. Life can suck sometimes… but today, humanity can be proud.

Chanting “Science! Science!" at Times Square sounds like a lot of fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Scrappy!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, I have drug questions! My doc suspects my weight plateau might be related to my SSRI, Lexapro. She suggested a possible switch to Wellbutrin. I have no info on Wellbutrin so I'm not sure I want to monkey with this just to lose a few pounds.
Also, looks like I'm headed for thyroid issues. I'm going on a pill to stimulate my thyroid and see if that helps as well.
FUCK MY METABOLISM.
Happy Birthday, Scrappy! I hope it's awesome!

Well, I would recommend not messing with your antidepressant until you see how the thyroid medication does. If you started Wellbutrin too close to the thryoid medication and then did lose weight, there'd be no way to know what did it.
As for switching your meds, here's the thing: SSRIs can cause weight gain/inhibit weight loss. And Wellbutrin can cause weight loss. But sometimes Wellbutrin *doesn't* cause weight loss. (I took Wellbutin 2 separate times, about a year apart; the first time I lost weight, the second time I didn't. So I don't have a lot of faith in it as being helpful for weight loss.)
If Lexapro is working well for you, I honestly would say don't switch. Antidepressants are so dodgy (in terms of what works for one person but doesn't for another) that it is ridiculous to stop a drug that's proven to help your brain just because it *might* make you lose weight. Because it also might *not*, and then your brain is fucked. Or maybe you lose 5 pounds. Is that small of an amount worth fucking with your brain?
