I had a thought of brilliance earlier today. Now it's gone. That happens too often. I have taken to attempting to complete a simplex crossword every night before I go to sleep in order to stimulate some sort of brainal activity. I don't think it's working. Partly to do with the fact that I am having trouble actually completing the crosswords without cheating. Or even coming anywhere near completing it.
If they had a measurement for how much your brain actually functions or how much it has diminished over time, I wonder what my read would be. I think I had some functioning neurons a few years ago but since I have stopped using my brain largely, even the simplest of things seem overly complicated. When I read something, be it a blog or a complicated newspaper article, anything that's not just factual - I start to get all fuzzy and muddled. I can almost hear my brain blowing out steam and getting red in the face.
I refuse to be drawn into the whole hand held computer thing. That somehow a little plastic wand tapping on a computer screen will now make me smart. I may be smart but I am also now someone who has a handheld computer. I'll take the brain steaming over tip-tapping on a bus seat.
I had a good way of ending this. But I've forgotten it.
And counting
