Thought I’d take you on a little journey through my brain because, really, haven’t you secretly always wanted to go there? (Humor me by saying YES!) Here’s what’s taking up space at the moment…
- Is this cough tickling my lungs just my imagination, a chest cold, or pneumonia?
- How many dolphins will die as a result of the BP oil spill? Will the rest of the marine population hate us forever and plot a suitable revenge?
- Why does this country still pretend the aggressor is the victim in the Gaza flotilla tragedy and greater Israeli-Palestinian issue, and refuse to call a spade a spade?
- Will I ever get back in shape?
- When will I move past my frustrations with my mother?
- If I never sweep the floor, will the dust bunnies continue to multiply or reach an equilibrium, like goldfish in a tank?
- Will I ever enjoy a work of fiction as much as I enjoyed The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society?
- Do I believe my financial situation can radically change?
- Will I regret it if I delete my Facebook account? What if I delete my LinkedIn account?
- Why won’t people stop telling me about great blogs I’ve missed?
- Why aren’t the FedEx and UPS guys who service my area ever cute?
- Should I rent The Cove tonight, for a good cry of frustration, horror and impotence?
- What should the next piece of jewelry I design for Noted Design look like?
- Why does my cat eat my hair while I sleep?
- Now that I know more about the connection between counterfeit products and human trafficking, thanks to Deluxe, will I stick to my principles and forego the next beautiful Chloe purse knock-off?
- Why does laundry never fucking end?
- Why am I letting my cough/chest cold/pneumonia keep me from grabbing coffee with a friend and heading to a BBQ?
- Why don’t more people refuse to go to war?
It’s a wonder I ever sleep, isn’t it? I think it all justifies my love of romantic comedies, however. Anything to shut off my brain…
Hope you didn’t stub your toe on anything, or get lost in the mayhem.
What would a tour through your head currently look like?

/ May 31, 2010most days my brain would look very, very similar…hairballs included. i have often wondered that myself, but in the few brief experiments I’ve managed, they just keep multiplying…and i don’t have the tolerance to wait long enough to see what might happen…love the meanderings of your brain. oh, and gnarled. there, i said it.

/ May 31, 2010This is some kind of experiment in the collective unconscious, isn’t it? What other questions did you find in my noggin’?
Hugs and butterflies,

/ June 5, 2010Molly: I’m still gathering the courage. Just watching the trailer makes me curl up in a ball and emit silent screams so I’m not sure I can sit through the whole doc without my brain and heart shattering. I’m sure, when I do see it, I’ll let everyone know!

/ June 5, 2010Sounds like you have an information overload. Does this happen all the time? And how do you cope with it? For me, it’s rare. The only time I get such thoughts entering my brain, is just before the time of the month, when I am most prone to capturing such energetic releases. It happened last night, and then I slept and everything was better, especially when I went for a slow 4 hour walk.
I hope you find peace of mind somewhere, and the clutter finds a harmony.

/ June 5, 2010Ana: I guess I’d rather have information overload than not pay attention to all that is around me. The challenge is learning to filter and knowing when to turn it off. Hanging out in nature is the best way I’ve found to turn it all off. That, and strong, prolonged laughter.
