you've got one advantage over me.  my handwriting is so atrocious, i'm rarely able to pull out even a single recognizable word.  if only i'd made it into medical school...

you've got one advantage over me

at last !. seeing as how you beat me hands down in every other area, at least i can write tidily !

nassssty. i'm glad you didn't !. (then you'd be doctor kingbee and have no time for silly australian women and their boring blogs about short-term memory loss)

Ive got 4 words for ya, mig...hand held tape recorder.

i know i should try this.

I used to have a long drive to work, and would "write" poetry to amuse myself, only to have it utterly disappear from my brain once id arrived.

yep sabrina, this is me. my brain always has to be 'doing' something, and i always think 'i'll remember', and i never do.

I solved this by purchasing a tiny, voice activated tape recorder to ramble into...then i could not only remember it, but hear how it sounded, which helped me in editing it.

another good idea. if i can get over the feeling of talking to a 'thing'. i know that sounds weird. and i also like the idea of 'hearing' a poem as a way of editing it. now i have your poetry secrets !!! (evil chuckle)

thanks, sabrina.

Well, this note is fairly obvious, you are going to make harry an easter (egg) tree and present it to him along with a furby. Why? How the hell should i know? LoL.

ps: as for that. well, 'harry' is one of our dogs (she'a a girl, it's actually harriet), so that part is clear. but as for the rest ... utter gibberish !

If you're going to go ahead and admit that you're a bit nerdy, you might as well go the full nine and get some kind of mini recorder, like little whip suggested. The micro cassette recorders work well, but now the price of digital recorders has come down quite a bit, and they are smaller. Instead of scrawling a note, you could leave yourself a recording the has a bit more info...

Still might be enough, but if it saves even one great idea (that a scrawl would have lost), it's worth it... HAHA!

so true, chiprj, so true !

now, if only i were organised enought to actually get one

chip, i'd probably fill the tape and then find it a week later and think "what on earth was i talking about ?" hehe

Someone once likened language to debris and another to apparition, i think that in your case both would be true. Debris is always discarded and then found, its purpose obvious when it was whole and intact, but cryptic in its fragmentation. Apparitions, like the dead king of denmark, speak in silence and obscure their own meaning.

I have already told you that i liked this one, but i will say it again. The way you wrote this made it sound like an ominous meeting with yourself in the past tense. You made it sound like a haunting. All i could remember was that boy in The Shining repeating over and over - redrum, redrum (murder. an almost pallindrome). It was prophetic and also the sign of something remembered anachronistically.

Then again, I make too much out of most things and this is a post about time and thought management, right?

thankyou for telling me you liked this. i do tend to worry. and those notes DO haunt me. they breed, i'm certain of it.

wow. thankyou for that horrible yet accurate description, marco.

nah, it's a post about me being lazy and having a poor attention span and mostly-dead short term memory hehe
