So smart it smarts

[flexagon]

Ah, this sounds like heaven. I have very few experiences with smart drugs, but I have taken Ritalin twice this year (experimentally) and I sure did have good productive days each time. Provigil sounds even better. Once a week, for studying programming, perhaps? I suppose this is your cue to remind me that All Drugs Have Risks.

We just got back from seeing Inception, and speaking of smart -- that movie is deliciously smart. An action movie that has a well-defined reason to be action-packed, with at least one rather one-dimensional character who has a good reason to be one-dimensional, and how many dream levels? I thought four, but the faq on imdb.com has pretty much convinced me there were five. It doesn't hurt that I love Ellen Page, and now that Leonardo diCaprio has grown up and looks worried all the time, I think he's generally a plus as well.

I wish I could have 50 years with heisenbug in a world we create with our minds.

Ah, yes, provigil. An irresponsible psych prescribed me that once. (Irresponsible because it wasn't really indicated, he was just experimenting it seems.) It is interesting, I would definitely consider it helpful for studying or 3rd year clinicals. Hard to get though.

I saw Inception last night too...it was so much better than I was expecting. I used to really not like Leonardo, but he's aged well. I was laughing at his brow, thinking of you. He needs his corrugator snipped. Anyway, part of me wants to see it again, but another thinks that it won't stand up to careful scrutiny.

Haha, I kept thinking that too. Leonardo has "elevens" and they're bad, except that he makes them look good. (Double standard alert. No woman would ever be perceived as looking better that way.)
