awesome synchronicity just now:
i'm mildly hyperthymic now(after yesterdays dysthymia), so i decided to do a little more research on cyclothymia(been a while since I read about it). Cyclothymia is a mild form of "manic depression" or more properly "Bipolar disorder". My cycles seem to be less frequent, which is good.
anyways hyperthymia is a mild mania, the opposite of dysthymia, which is a negative state of mind, darkened, joyless.
ok, so i type in hyperthymia in google, and one of the links is a list of psychology definitions (based off the dsm-iv), as I'm reading further down, I notice "delusional" as a definition:
are not these beliefs in opposition to what constitutes incontrovertible and obvious proof or evidence to the contrary?
so I had clicked on a link earlier in a metafilter post, and it was open in another tab. as i began to read
<a href="http://www.nybooks.com/articles/17852">this article</a> by Bill Moyers (already, from the first paragraph, I'm hooked... i recommend it!!!), he says "...one story after another drives home the fact that the delusional is no longer marginal but has come in from the fringe to influence the seats of power."
exactly what the fuck i was thinking.

- a false belief based on incorrect inference about external reality that sustained despite what almost everyone else believes and despite what constitutes incontrovertible and obvious proof or evidence to the contrary. [DSM-IV]

for those who asked about my camera:
It's an olympus D-580 zoom, got it for 200 bucks. it does well enough. i wish it had a higher resolution. or something. there's just something still lacking, i think. things look good for the most part, but it's still a bit fuzzier than i'd like.
it's a 4 MPixel. uses xD memory. the one thing that i hate about it is the shutter lag. it's really bad. at least, I think so. i dont' really have any other digital cameras to compare it to, so i'm not sure how bad it is when it comes to all digitals. but it sucks compared to analog.
ok, fuck, i'm tired.
'night.

tony... bought a psp. dumbshit.
he even said "I bought something and you're gonna be pissed at me for it"
and he said "I respect nintendo and what they're trying to do with the DS, but when i saw this in action i had to have it."
I found this an 4 color rebellion, though:
Now that both systems are out, every major games site feels the need to do a ‘VS’ acrticle. Meh, whatever. Basically, if you want a portable game system with a good battery and no load time get the DS. If you want a fancy gadget that happens to play games along with movies and music, get the PSP. We know which one will have better games.

I'm assuming they mean the DS, and that's how I feel as well. the PSP is like the X-Box. More power under the hood, for more crappy FPS games(not exactly, but you get the drift) I really am disappointed in him.
not only that but that's like how many bucks that could've went to a computer???

behind the cut, as usual...
now some of you have seen some of these others from this past weekend at my parents, but others might not have gone to the gallery, so i'm posting them here since it's easier for all to look at...
