Night of the lupus:
Once upon a time in college i went to a 24 hour bad science fiction movie festival. Some were good bad science fiction movies, like the fly, but one was "night of the lupus" about giant flesh-eating bunnies. i'm sure rottentomatoes.com has an entry that i'm not motivated to go look up.
but this link is to a picture of a giant bunny, about 4 feet long. it's a bad picture, nothing shows the scale so it just looks like a picture of a bunny, but take my word for it. hatt tip jason, a warblogger who noted with approval my posting a link to a free download of F 9/11 on volokh.
I might drive some traffic here if i'd remember to put in the http:// before http://vark.blogspot.com.
Roommate's work is cancelled for today so my computer time is short; we have not yet set up the network for multiple computers. I depend on the kindness of strangers when it comes to technical support of that sort. Which works but slowly. It's like hitchhiking - i'm not against the concept, a sort of open source transportation system, i just don't have the patience anymore, so i drive or greyhound. Haven't flown since 9/11, mostly due to an austerity budget.
Even more than usual, my thoughts and writing tends to jump from topic to topic in a way that's hard to follow. Giant rabbits. I've made some appointments to get my meds adjusted.
Between distractions in real life and distractions online, I'm not getting alot of work done.
I had a stressful experience a month ago that caused a relapse of some mental health issues I faced several years ago, and the symptoms are familiar. I'm fine when I have a quiet place to work and meaningful work to do, but when my calm is interupted and I'm subjected to way too much stress, I'm at risk of nervous collapse and have to do what I need to do to get away from the sources of stress. It turns out that the legal profession is a high risk one for people with issues of depression - that wasn't in the admissions packet. I'm very upset with myself at the moment for having missed a deadline by one day and having my cert petition not accepted by the supreme court, but I also recognize a partial cause of that happening was the stressful thing that happened, which on advice of counsel I'm not talking about here yet.
There are two ways I can go - hang up the law practice for now, get myself free to go back to earning a living working in a warehouse or some such honorable task, or locate some funding and run the next two cases through the system. Details will be posted at majors.blogspot.com;
right now I'm just writing about my emotional state, what's on my mind this morning, but mostly, Giant Rabbits.
