Well, tomorrow's friday, and I'm soo glad. This week has been really long it feels like. I keep waking up and thinking, "gosh, it's only _____!" I mean, the days themselves have been going pretty fast, even though we've been working an extra hour each day, it just seems like the week itself is taking forever to close.
Saw a pretty crazy accident last night. A little car rear-ended an SUV, and the SUV flipped. But that wasn't the crazy part. It was still facing the right way on the road! I don't get how that works. It was facing the same direction I was, but it was completely upside down. Must have spun a little bit, too. Like I said, crazy.
Read about something very interesting on Yahoo! news today. There's this condition called Face Blindness. The technical term is Prosopagnosia. This one lady was talking about how it affects her, and she said it took her four years to memorize the faces of her kids. That's crazy/scary. Their son has the same problem and they had to call the cops one time to help them find him, cuz he couldn't remember what his parents looked like. I'm sure we can all agree that there are a few people out there we wouldn't mind forgetting, but I can't imagine not being able to remember anybody. I mean, faces are usually the only thing I remember about people. How insane. The video I watched said that all you need is just a reminder who the person is and then you're fine until you meet them next time, but what if you don't have anyone with you to help you remember? There's apparently a spot in the brain that serves as recognition software, and it's totally separate from actually remembering the person. You remember that they are real, and you know everything about them, you just don't remember what they look like, so you could meet someone, and then run into them 5 minutes later and not remember ever seeing them before. That's gotta be strange. If you click on "Face Blindness" up there, it will take you to the video, and the yellow word will take you to the main website analyzing the problem. Some pretty interesting stuff.
Well, have a wonderful Thursday, I'll post more tomorrow, and maybe I'll have some better pics of Isaac. Later!
