Was it Saturday night when you said this, at least?

LOL...but, it's like someone slipped me a potion that induced persona switching between the dr. genius and ms. mental midget. weird but true.
Not so weird. Lots of bipolar folks are creative. (People don't seem to realize that science requires just as much creativity as art, if not more. "Truth is stranger than fiction" kind of deal, you know.) It might even be due to residual manic symptoms. (Why not? People have residual depression.)
