For those on mood meds and seizure meds

In my search for *real* information on Tegretol, and why it seemed to be fucking me up like it has been ... I stumbled upon this site: Crazy Meds

Written in a down-to-earth style, in layman's terms - with plenty of medicalese and facts to back that ass up for those that require it - the site makes sense of medications to treat Epilepsy and Mood Disorders, while poking fun on occasion as well.

So, check it out sometime. And if you don't have any drugs to look up - type in "Lexapro" and look at the side effects. The discussion of the most annoying of side effects: anorgasmia - "being unable to cum ... no matter how much porn and/or romance is involved" was sad but true.

Last night, I went to see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Kellie and friends at a very cool theater in Oakland, Parkway Theater.

Before the movie started, we got to settle into Ikea couches with pizza and drinks, and big-ass bowls of fresh-popped popcorn with butter and salt, Bjork playing in the background - it has to be the best way to see a movie.


And the movie? Well, I'd always seen Willy Wonka on TV, never on the big screen, so this was especially cool for me. I've loved that film since I was a kid, still love it to this day - and some scenes just cracked me up more than others:

* When Mike TeeVee is interviewed as the latest ticket winner, he shoots his cap gun, then complains about not being able to have a real one. Dad's reply? "Not until you're 12, Mike."

* When Veruca Salt was in her dad's office, pushing him to get the ladies to work faster at opening the Wonka bar wrappers, she called one lady a twat.
