Re: The weirdly defiant POTO/15M theft: the full text of the You Accusatory Squirrel-Like Person rant got posted (well, it was always public), but now there's a very teal apology up. Bizarre.
(If the girl's reading this--look, it's not that a big deal. You thought it was written by someone else and you thought you had their permission. That wasn't correct; now you know, you took it down, and you apologized. Apology accepted. It's not a "heinous crime"; it's just something that needs to be taken down. Really, it's not the end of the world, and you don't have to take your toys and go home; it's only going to be as big a deal as you make it.)
(Or maybe this is what's going on. I don't know.)
(Wait, she paid someone else $47 for the "rights" to something I wrote? What?)
Meanwhile: Less jittery today, although I do feel very awake.
Something that occurred me while I was answering comments* on the previous entry--I had thought that increasing the Lamictal (an anti-seizure drug now used for depression and manic-depression) would stabilize the mood cycling, until it occurred to me mid-sentence that maybe that's exactly what it's doing. I'd thought "stabilize" would mean it would make the hypomanic episodes less noticeable, but maybe what it's done instead is make the cycle more regular. I mean, I was able to look back on my entry calendar here and point out a fairly consistent four-week cycle, with episodes of increased productivity near the end of the month. (I'm not sure how this maps to any other kind of cycle, and I don't really want to get into that at the moment. But yeah, I'm looking at that.) And since I usually try to "make hay while the sun shines" anyway--try to get work done when I feel good, and not beat myself too much over periods where I feel bad--having a fairly regular schedule would be pretty helpful. I don't know if it'll stay like this, but it'll be interesting to watch for the next few months and see if it does.
* Trying to answer comments and not being able to answer enough of them or keep up with all of them is another thing I tend to feel guilty about. *hangs head*
Meanwhile, padawansguide came through for us with some new, even better Alice in Wonderland pics. We don't think it's literally Violet Baudelaire's coat, but it's clearly a design that Atwood is reusing. Which is cool, because I love that coat.
(Here's more, assuming they stay up/unlocked. Maybe long enough for you to see Baby Bonham-Carter-Burton's rockin' red velvet cape this time.)
And if I didn't know better, I'd swear I went to college with the girl playing Alice. (S'up, Beth! "Rita Dove! I love her!")

Matt Damon is an Enemy To Cannibals Everywhere! "Matt was asked by a German reporter if, after having made so many movies that portray the criminal intent of humans, he felt compelled to make more socially conscious movies. His reply: His movie 'Ocean’s Eleven' was seen by a German man who had responded to an ad that would have allowed him to have some of his body parts eaten by a real life Hannibal Lector, but after seeing the movie, decided maybe that was not such a good idea!"
