I remembered the thing!

Guess what guess what guess what? I remembered the thing that I forgot when I was writing the last posting here. Considering the topic now, it's not that important, but may as well put it out there anyways. The thing that came to mind was...

EATING ON THE TTC. Or really any mass transit, other than places where food is served, like trains and planes. Now, this is a personal thing, and if you eat on transit, more power to you. I will confess that I have eaten on the Greyhound from time to time, and often have something to drink, even an open container like a coffee on the bus, but eating something from your hands, like a sandwich, and then touching the TTC, and then eating again? Or whipping out something with a fork and going at it? Really? Transit is a dirty, dirty place. And no, a few germs won't kill you, they'll probably make you stronger, but what if they don't? Also, it can be bad enough dealing with people's personal smells and noises, let's not add food smells and chewing to the mix. Let's just not.

Forgetfulness

Well, this morning on the bus I thought of what I thought was a pretty nifty hook for a new blog post. And would you believe, that after two hours of work, which were almost exclusively reading and writing and therefore should have kept me on the ball, I've completely forgotten what it was? It's true.

I do think that the mind is a funny thing. You forget things you'd like to remember, and embarrassing memories or negative associations seem to hang around forever. Of the following situations, what's worse, do you think?

Option 1: You know something significant is happening, and you forget it anyway
Option 2: You realize later that something significant happened, but you forget what it was

There are probably other combinations of significance and memory inspiration, but those are the two I've got today. Deal with it, okay? The good thing about being the author of this blog is that I can totally change my mind. And my legions of fans will have no idea.

So, now I'm trying to remember if there's anything else that I forgot today. The high irony of this blog is killing me. Happy Holidays, everyone. Don't forget stuff.
