the medicine made me chatty, but not in that I was talking to people and had good things to say and attentive, but that the random bullshit thoughts in my head would be spoken, even when they were just swears of frustration, or the contents of a sign I was looking at, or the path I was walking from the light rail to the convention center.

I saw Shatner speak.  It was drastically different from Nimoy's appearance last year, in which he gave a one-hour autobiography, accompanied by a slideshow.  Shatner's talk was almost entirely a Q&A, in much the style of Kevin Smith, in that a simple question often resulted in some light ball-busting of the asker, followed by a long, tangential, and profound story.

After that, the cast of Eureka had a panel, and that was good too but I kind of nodded off a bit near the end.  I confess, I have skipped a season or two of that.

About 45 minutes before Rocky Horror started, I found a katamari of bronies walking down Washington Avenue singing songs from the show.  I had the idea to try and promote Rocky Horror to them.  It didn't seem to work, because the fandoms have little in common besides an acceptance of gender dysmorphic tendencies.  But I was looking forward to seeing how the Rocky fans contended with it.  If cruelty were my aim, I would have tracked down the pack of furries I saw this morning, and invited them. 

PJ snd Brooklyn were there, as they were yesterday... no costume this time, so harder to find.

met more redditors too... after Rocky, though, I had little to do but follow people around and watch them relate to each other, while I was in full shell mode.  so I went home.  I probably should have stayed and gotten drunk.  For some reason, I was afraid to.

tablets [May. 26th, 2012|09:44 am]
Took a big risk this morning.

A few months ago I was prescribed some extended-release methylphenidate.  The dose was too high and I only took it one day.

This morning I halved one tablet and took it, before doing any Internet research to confirm my psychiatrist's assertion that this could be done.

The Internet did confirm, but if I get side effects, I'll get them during Saturday's Comicon crowd.

Conversely, if it grants me the power to fix my behavior, I'll have a great time.

I'm on my way tot he light rail station.

now when I play Minecraft on my PC, after about five minutes of play, the game seizes up for about 10 seconds at a time randomly.  

and I really don't care enough to start troubleshooting this shit.

I think I'll just stay in bed the rest of the day.

For what it's worth, I broke my Atari trying to put the new OS in.  I even tried putting the old OS back in, still won't boot.  I wonder if I fried one of the existing components, though all the soldering was done near resistors, and I've heard resistors don't just die from heat.

I'll need to have someone who knows what they're doing come by and look and see if there's some easily reparable damage that's more apparent to the sighted than it would be to me.

I want to mod my Atari 800XL with the super-video mod, and then maybe put Ape Warp+ OS in it.

but I would hate to spend all that money on equipment and parts, and discover that I'm too blind to do it, and break my Atari in the process.

also, nobody else cares about those old games.

isn't it great how SSRIs take a month to actually improve your mood, but they cause sexual dysfunction immediately?

Over the course of 24 hours I ate an entire bag of coconut-covered marshmallows.

Can't wait for the new medication to kick in...

zoo tickets are going to expire soon..
