vitamins for veggies

i suspect i might be suffering a vitamin B deficiency of some sort. i've been extra foggy-brained lately, and i have noticed some slight tingling, occasionally, in my fingers and hands (not in my feet so far). i'm also having trouble with energy and motivation--getting my ass moving, even on a beautiful day. i get tired pretty easily lately too. i'm not depressed per se....though not exactly un-depressed either. i'd say *mildly* depressed, maybe, and feeling like i'm on the *verge* of being able to talk myself up and out of it.

i know vegetarians often suffer from a B-12 deficiency, and i've been re-vegetarianized just about long enough for the deficiency to show up (8-9 months). i do eat fish occasionally, but not all that often; and i eat dairy...eggs sometimes but not often, only when i can get really good, locally micro-farmed ones. anyway, i just picked up a b-complex vitamin to go along with my multivitamin, calcium supplements, and fish oil capsules. now the question is...is it possible i'm also low on iron, perhaps even anemic? and should i have my blood tested for vitamin levels, to see if i'm *actually* suffering from any sort of deficiency, before i go treating myself? it's funny, i never had this problem when i was a pretty strict vegetarian for like 3-4 years.

gravity defiance

ok. i emailed glaucon about this earlier today, and now i'm going to take the question public.

what the *fuck* is up with phil spector's hair? i don't understand this afro of his. you can SEE through it, which means there's not enough hair there to hold it straight up and out like that on its own. he must be using some industrial strength hairspray.

but why? does he think this will help him win over the jury? does he think this will make them forget his idiotic assertion that lana clarkson "kissed the gun," meanwhile...whoops...spector had gunpowder residue on his hands, while clarkson had none?

the guy is fucking out to lunch! the question now is...why do i find it so irritating? i guess for the same reason i always find it irritating when a rich, powerful man tries to get away with murdering a younger, less-rich, less-powerful woman.
