Attention New Wave Dorks and Aging Punks
The Million Miles Away mp3 weblog has stuff from the wonderful Slickee Boys today. Go look!
Braaaaains again.
On 20 mg of Adderall XR, 300 mg of Wellbutrin, and 10 mg of Lexapro, I feel kind of normal. The way I felt on a pretty good day when I was 18.
This means that I have to tweak the fuck out of my dopamine and serotonin mechanisms to get to anything like a reasonable baseline, which sucks. Especially since the new drug (Adderall XR) cost me $96 for one month’s dosage, after the discount on my plan. My total monthly cost for prescription and OTC drugs for my various diagnoses is about $250 now. Add therapy and psychiatric visits and my outlay for medical costs is almost $1000 per month. Good thing I’ve managed to make decent money.
Because the cool part is that some of this stuff actually works, and I’m not covered with roaches gibbering in an alley, or being trepanned, or dead, or in jail.
No.
I hope all these people get chlamydia from penguins.

Received in the mail from kateoninetails today
(1) Industrial lunchbox labeled “Local 290.3x Don’t Ask”
(1) T-shirt reading “this is what real punk looks like”
(1) CD of N’Sync’s “Somewhere, Someday” (one song) which is actually Firewater’s “Psychopharmacology”, with the lyrics to the latter on the outside sleeve.
Thank you so much! My day just got a lot cooler and way more bizarre!
Also the cat likes it.

“Parking a car, even it is a Mercedes, in front our your neighbor’s house is not neighborly, but it is legal. This was not an act of love, but one of civil disobedience.”
In response to my repost about the Worst Condo Association Guy, the_silent_one found pure gold in the form of Save Marina Hills!, a one-man crusade to save a planned community from an Axis of Evil.
Highlights include:
The home page itself is a delight. Compare and contrast the Association itself, especially the minutes of the meetings which are all about this guy and his crusade.
a hit from the past: The Tree of Woe
From two and a half years ago, this gem which pbd will recall vividly. It’s been long enough that I unlocked it so all can see the glory of:
