I definitely don't feel as mentally sharp as I was in college. More frequently right due to life experience, sure, but the ol' gray matter does not work with the same speed and efficiency of memory as it did back in the late 80s and early 90s. And while I'm as technically proficient as I've ever been (except maybe with oils, which I've used once in the last decade), I know I'm not as creative or prolific with regard to my artwork.
On the flip side, the part of my brain that governed worrying about what other people think seems to have experienced a nearly complete early die-off.
This [link] is probably part of my current feeling of stupid.
I was totally dumber than when I was in university before the onslaught of migraines. But the major thing is--I'm really quite dumb

I'm having migraines, and if you count the ones with no pain too, well, I don't want to tot up what %age of my waking life is spent with one active. It's depressing enough as is.
And in migraine news: happy happy joy joy.
I've had a few of the mini-stroke things without the migraines. (Dunno what caused them.) They're starting to think they're fairly common, but they've only recently noticed the extent of the problem due to the recent popularity of MRI brain scans.
I'm scheduled to die of a stroke anyway (I think that's how all my grandparents went), so this is just warmup.
Anyone here ever used Google checkout for payments of stuff?
I had some Americone Dream a few weeks ago. It was plenty tasty to me; too much, instead, and so I'm back on the diet. Bah.
Still, I thought it was very yummy.
Hmph. I do not believe those of you who claim to have had the ice cream. I think you could be part of the vast right wing conspiracy, but masquerading as left wing ice cream eaters.
Okay. It is also possible I live in very, very small town.
Liese, I have a friend in the Chicago suburbs who has been completely unable to find that ice cream. Even in the gigantic grocery stores they have.
