Not dead yet

I haven't been in a writing mood for a while. In fact, it's tough for me to even write down that I haven't been in a writing mood. It's not that less has been going on, it's just that I've somehow quit feeling motivated to write any of it out. This worries me a little because they always say losing interest in things is a symptom of depression, and while I don't feel (I think) any more depressed than I did a few months ago, I have been losing interest in a hell of a lot of things. I have no idea what to do about it, though, or if anything needs to be done. But I figured I'd write this just so I don't appear to have fallen down a mineshaft or something.

Have you read about the experiments done on patients after the split-brain surgery? Basically, they'd show something to the right half of the brain, and when that side of the body reacted to it the left would have to figure out what the hell that reaction was all about. It would make up a reason, though, and the patient would believe that it was the real reason, and not a made-up one.

If you haven't heard about it, though, I've just confused you terribly. I'm sorry.

Yeah, I've read about that. I realize all perception is faulty, but I like that fact to live in books where I don't have to deal with it personally. It's not allowed to run amok in my brain, dammit.

Yeah, really. Like reading about a dumb error in communication that people do all the time, and going "Eh. Stupid people." But the next day you catch yourself doing it, and you're like, "Baa! No!"
