Ah HAH! I heard back from Sacred Heart Medical Center that the level of Depakote (one of two medications that I'm currently taking) is at a SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER LEVEL in my blood than what their intention was! LOL!!! Ah, well. Medication has still not cured me of my "ridiculous obsession with love." (Moulin Rouge, directed by the EPICALLY talented Baz Luhrmann)

Ahhh... I am forcibly reminded of an awesome, BEAUTIFUL, RIDICULOUSLY romantic comedy starring (none other than) Johnny Depp. Okay, yeah. I admit it... He's HOT. Anywhoo, the movie I'm thinking of is "Don Juan DeMarco", in which Johnny Depp's character, Don Juan, is committed to a psychiatric hospital after a desperate attempt to gain publicity via a dramatic and public (and also completely FASLE) threat to commit suicide. The young man is UTTERLY CONVINCED that he IS Don Juan DeMarco from Tirso de Molina's play. Dr. Mickler, played by an old, FAT Marlon Brando, is a veteran psychologist, and talks Don Juan down from his proverbial ledge, and THEN fights to be assigned this case, despite the fact that he is retiring in less than a week. The institution is convinced that he's delusional (plus a laundry list of other things), and Johnny Depp's character is convinced that he's the greatest lover of all time. The interactions between the two are PRICELESS:

[DR. MICKLER]:
I have some pills here, and I’d like you to take them.
I think they’ll help.

[DON JUAN]:
Pills to stop delusions? Then I am afraid we must
take these pills together, because you are severely
deluded.


[DR. MICKLER]:
What delusions have I got?

[DON JUAN]:
This fantasy that you are some "Dr. Mickler".
I am very disappointed in you, Don Octavio.

[DR. MICKLER]:
Here’s the drill. They can make you take the
medication. That’s state law. You’re on what
they call a 10-day paper, and for those ten days
they can do whatever they think is appropriate.

[DON JUAN]:
I am not deluded. I am Don Juan, and if you will
not medicate me for these ten days, I will prove it
to you.

[DR. MICKLER]:
What if I don’t believe you’re Don Juan?

[DON JUAN]:
Then I will take your medication, and you
may commit me for as long as you like.
Do we have an agreement? Do I have
these ten days to tell you my story?

[DR. MICKLER]:
OK.

While I have no such luxury as a "Dr. Mickler", doctors can prescribe me whatever medications they see fit. And yet, one truth remains: MY HAPPINESS CANNOT BE DRUGGED OUT OF ME! :) So... "What's up, Doc(s)?!?" (munches down a carrot like Bugs Bunny) ;)
