Erm, I seem to have lost two pounds in the four days since I started taking Adderall. On one hand, woohoo! On the other, I’m not sure if that’s healthy. Took 20mg yesterday and was zippy for about four hours and then I crashed. Hard. Had an hour and a half nap, but when I woke up, I was back to being peppy and alert. Maybe I’ll hold off on asking for a 15mg scrip a little longer.
fosteronfilm and I got a complimentary pile of advance screening tickets to The Legend of Zorro for Monday. The showing is at 7:30PM at Phipps Plaza. We’ve got ten six extra, so if you’re a local and want to join us, drop me an email so we can arrange meet-up times and locations. (First email, first served.) [Edit: I’ll be counting down the number we have left above.]
Writing Stuff
jackzodiac is putting a charity anthology together for the hurricane victims of Katrina: Writers for Relief. I’ve got a story in it, a reprint of “A Little Soul Music,” and tstauffer has something in it too. And get this, we’ll be sharing a ToC with Brian W. Aldiss, Joe Haldeman, Nancy Kress, and Larry Niven!
Can I just say “SQUEE”?
New Words: 100
Finished going over the Critters comments (and now I’m behind with my “thank you” notes). Did a minor rewrite and several editing passes on the Korean folktale, and it’s done. Rah! Going to make a mail run later today and send it out into the wild world.
I almost asked for a pass, but then I remembered who it stars and decided I’d rather stay home and shave my chest with a cheese grater.
Aw, c’mon. It’s FREE! And Catherine Zeta Jones is a vision of loveliness in a bodice and corset. It’s all about the pretty.
Cheese Grater!
And . . . and don’t you want to see‘s and my happy, smiling face? *sniffle* You don’t love us anymore! Waaaaahhhh!
To quote Leo Sayer, I love you more than I can say!
But quite apart from the movie’s expected shortcomings, I also am otherwise engaged Monday night.
Humph! Well, fine. Be that way.
It’s worth seeing for free, and definitely a matinee. More than that…. not so sure…
Yep. If we hadn’t gotten the advance screening tix, I doubt we would’ve bothered seeing it in the theater. But hey, free is good.
Trying to recover from intense visceral reaction
When I saw your comment this AM, I thought, “Hey, I don’t remember Eugie having a blogger account.” So I clicked through to see if I could find your blog.
Then I saw your picture. Damn, girl, who’d a thunk. I may be happily married, but I can’t control those autonomic reflexes. Heart races . . . pupils dilate . . .
You never told me you were Jacqueline Kim’s evil twin.
Anyway, I’ve put you on my blogroll (or will, shortly).
Calm now,
Doug

Re: Trying to recover from intense visceral reaction
Naw, you don’t even have to do that. As an editor, you’ve been a dream. (60s slang. It’s a good thing.)
If I were local, I’d be begging for tickets. That one’s a must-see for me just for the pretty factor.
Wish you were a local or that we could transfer some to a different theater; we’ve got so many extra. And yah, I’m pretty much looking forward to this one as a pretty-fest bonanza. I don’t have much faith in the writing/storyline.
My 2 cents about adderall
The weight loss is rather normal for adderall. In my days of competitive dance, myself and other dancers would try our damnest to get our hands on the miracle drug because well dancers are can sometimes be a bit crazy like that
Re: My 2 cents about adderall
I’ll second the weight loss. Though at lowish doses in my case it only contributed to 2-5 pounds lost. I would only worry if it continued past that or if you have a really reduced appetite for long.
Re: My 2 cents about adderall
Coolness. Then I’ll just enjoy the painless and minor weight loss . . . while it lasts.
Re: My 2 cents about adderall
I’ve heard before that both Adderall and Ritalin were pretty popular on the black market to give boosts to students before tests and athletes before meets. Tch tch. I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you.
Eugie, I’ll go if you have a ticket left. Hubby can’t go cause the 13yo has guitar lessons at that time so someone must take him. Let me know. You can e-mail me at toni.stauffer@gmail.com
Coolness! Email sent and I’ll see you on Monday!
TOC envy
Brian Aldiss?! Check out his intro to _Galaxies like Grains of Sand_. It is really a prose poem. He was one of my early science fiction influences.
“…The long mirror of the past is shattered. Its shards lie trampled underfoot. Once it covered all the walls of all the palaces; now only a few fragments are left, and these you hold in your hand.”
Wow! That’s a list of TOC-mates worth squeeing about, most definitely. *g*
aw, i’d pipe up for a ticket, but i’ll be at work while you guys are at the movie…
poopie job….
*pout*
