A way to help me to remember, is to link a particular day with a certain person; so you know it’s a certain day, & you can dedicate your day to prepare topics you want to discuss with them about.
It makes people feel needed. I think of it as a kind of gift, I will choose to gift you this day & that day will be dedicated to you. Kind of like a birthday, a celebration about one person, but it is getting me to test my memory. So I guess it benefits us both.
For someone who has nothing to do with an audio field, I have a very audio brain…
2 examples are that is 1) I’m very good at remembering lyrics, probably things I liked in my old life, & 2) I use very audio language in very day-to-day things, for example “the crab smells loud”.
I’ve never been very much liked any particular music but I do tend to like music that is meant to feed my brain, just an example is classical music or even jazz, or reggae. The two last ones have heavy influence of cultural, definitely.
It starts off talking about camels, from what it smells like, to its humps on its back.
I have been watching this great program on BBC iPlayer called “Chris Packham’s animal einsteins“. It’s about how animals use, how they move in different ways, for different reasons.
It then touches on when animals migrate & why that suits them best. It injects some scientific details.
It explores fish, amphibians, stomatopods (briefly talks about the mantis shrimp, mented in David Attenborough’s “life in colour”, which I recommend), birds & insects.
Just an example; I never knew spiders could fly by using static electricity.
Scientists use the information they’ve learnt from how animals move, can predict our own movement, with the help of technology.
This series proposes how animals build, communicate & cooperate, based on how & why animals move.
It finishes with how animal brains of the natural world are far brighter, more sophisticated & flexible than we could ever have imagined.
Watch it now! It’ll open your mind;

Believes me, I can’t pronounce it either!
Drawn from the Hopi word which means “life out of balance,” this film is actually very moving. It has absolutely no words at all, it’s a kind of documentary. There was a lot of research put into writing this blog post because it didn’t give me a lot to talk about. I guess it gave me a lot to think about & reflect on. It really does have rave reviews though.
It’s said to reveal how humanity has grown apart from nature. It involves footage of natural landscape
Because it has no dialogue , it makes it’s art through imagery & it’s music (which only has the title as lyrics).
It shows pictures of modern civilization & technology, & pictures of deliberating flats which really made me aware that us, as humans, are on a self destruction mission.
It had a big impact on me, it made me talk a lot about it, which is what cinema should do, make us disguise the film. It made me talk a lot & try to learn more about it.
Continuing the “Leuty’s facts about fruit & vegetables” posts. The book I’m reading now has a main symbol through it, being the beet. It opens with saying “the beet is the most intense of vegetables”
It has a continuous symbol of the beet. I may have already mentioned this book, its called “Jitterbug Perfume”.
The book says, “You can’t squeeze blood out a turnip”
I have to say I wasn’t so passionate about beets before I read this.
The beet, it’s self, has plenty of vitamins. Such as they are a great source of fiber, folate(vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C.
One of the things I really like now is a beetroot & pineapple salad. It’s truly delicious. It has that mixture of sweet & savoury which is very popular right now, growing in popularity with salted caramel.
Now I consider my blog to be my occupation; it takes so much of my mind to do it. It’s quite convenient in these times where the law means we have to social distance.
Blogging, too, is a good way to communicate (particularly in social distancing). In this way I can achieve a bigger audience.
Blogging is pretty good for the current global conditions in the fact that we can let our personalities come through, digitally. We can still social distance but still being able to reach a lot of audiences.
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night!
I watched the Truman show recently & it seems like I am a modern day Truman (as in in the film, not the politician) but with some help from technology. I have Netflix & Facebook just to start with.
With this brain injury, every day just seems like the day before anyway (part of the reason I’m doing my blog so avidly).
A brief synopsis of the film is… I won’t give it to you. Just watch it!
The Truman Show is on Netflix too, so you can & should watch it when you want.
My thoughts of purple are that it is the perfect unisex colour, this thought made me appreciate it so much more.
I think most people would classify blue to be male & pink as female. But purple is a combination of pink & blue. So it does create that perfect mix of the two.
I watched this really great film which perfectly describes the situation I’m in now. The film is called memento.
The protagonist has a brain injury so I certainly can see where he’s coming from. On the surface it entertains but deep down it’s truly brilliant. It is done by having the end of the protagonists story at the beginning of the film.
The average person can’t see that the beginning of the film is the end of the protagonists story, but I worked it out, the first time I watched it. Maybe it’s because I’m in a position where it feels like it’s telling a story about what I’m going through.
It’s a bitch to find but I’ve done the hard work for you though (cause I really want you to see it). See it at ;
