I had two quite severe manic episodes during the summer. The first I blew fifteen grand in eleven glorious days [warplife.com] and so have gone back to dining at the Portland Rescue Mission.

The second I was awake for well over one hundred hours, most of that time spent writing essays. Lots of essays. In the middle of that I wrote fifteen essays simultaneously - or rather, rapidly switching from essay to essay. I'd write a paragraph for one then get seized with something I wanted to write for the next.

None of the symptoms I previously regarded as warning signs occurred, else I would have gone to the emergency room well before Shit Hit The Fan. I found out the hard way that Trileptal stops just _some_ symptoms of mania but by no means _all_ of them.

However.

The last couple weeks I've been doing really well at focussing on my work. To be unable to focus is quite a common problem for me.

Let me check my logs... Soggy Jobs' Distinct Hosts Served is down from last month, however my crowdfunding announcement [soggy.jobs] has had 9,000 hits, doubtlessly because that same page is where I first posted that I'm accepting applications.

I have I think 286 followers on Twitter. It's really easy to get more followers - just follow my followers' followers, some of them will follow me back. I mean the whole Twitter culture it's just like a bunch of whores, it really is.

I haven't been putting much effort into preparing for my crowdfunding launch. Tomorrow I'll start writing my pitch essay, also I'll shoot some still photos to use in the storyboard for my pitch video.

I have a close friend who is an entertainment industry professional. I'm going to shoot my video's raw footage, then Ted is going to edit it for me.

Good Times.
