I’d always wondered about this

Hello peeps, my favourite bit of the b3ta newsletter this week is this link to an explanation of what psychiatrists are up to when they administer the Roschach test- the one with butterflies and all that and, to quote Roy Walker, you say what you see… One part says that if you can’t see anything in the ink splodge, it indicates neurosis. I dimly remember taking the colour blindness test aged 7 or so, at Kingston St. Mary primary school and saying i couldn’t see any numbers at all and getting concerned looks from the nurses who were administering it. I think, for some reason, that year I really wanted glasses and hadn’t quite understood the purpose of the screening and i was probably quite a neurotic child too. I’ve still got 20-20 vision though, and when i was renewing my license in the DMV t’other day the only mistake I made on the ‘Read the 5th row of letters part’ was pronouncing ‘zed’ the correct way rather than the Sesame Street way… and blinking when they took the photo… I think.

In other news, my Zire-72-mother-of-all-mid-price-palm-pilots has arrived, so expect more mundane photography as I’ll always have a camera with me… And this is me in the queue at Trader Joes, and here’s me at the bus stop, and this is my office, so’s this one… etc. it’s grand and i can now play scrabble in full colour, record sounds, take pix, listen to mp3s, and much, much more.
