finished some narration of events in a letter and affidavits can you believe it, it’s what i do but not talk about , unless they’re public interest cases. just resting the left part of my head so i’m going visual. My eyes dry up when i’m writing long and technical but not when i’m looking at paintings, not when i’m looking at videos and photos, i can do that endlessly and my eyes don’t hurt there. Why is that? Although you don’t really write with your eyes, silly. (by “dry up” i mean they feel like, there are small thorns on the surface). it’s probably from not blinking when doing that, just my theory. Nothing more to say for now. I saw an episode a long time ago of the tv show “House” (Dr. House) where a patient was about to die because of endless epileptic seizures which only House was able to diagnose. He said that the only remedy to prevent certain death was cut off a portion of the brain from which the seizures were emanating. Much discussion with the patient’s dad, blah-blah-blah, much heart-wrenching, sniff-sniff (the patient was already unconscious), finally, on the patient’s death throes, the father agreed; and the surgeons sliced off half of the patient’s brain. When he woke up, he remembered everything and he seemed to be still the same and he could speak and walk; pretty much the same; and House said (as i understand it, the episodes of “House” are based on actual medical cases), he said that the seizures would stop but it is not known yet what other effects there might be of slicing off half the brain. Now, he tells us.
So…. you could actually function on half-a-brain. Which is probably what i do when i write using formats.
(i’m just kidding. your lawyers will tell you they think it’s a discipline unto itself).
