Alpha

My ability to pay attention to what I call my "alpha state" (the state of mind I get into just before going to sleep) is back. (Wellbutrin took it away for a while.) I can sort of follow the voices and music and images. They change constantly. It's kind of like MTV. I like it; it's very entertaining.

Grudging acceptance
I guess I can forgive MTV for trying to mimic the human alpha state if Virginia Woolf and James Joyce were doing it in print at the beginning of the 19th century.
