Convoluted

[beetiger]

(Perhaps this all belongs over in projectmothra, but somehow I wanted it here.)

This is about the time in fetal development, if everything is going normally, that the moth's supposed to be beginning to develop the folds and convolutions typical of the human brain.

In the meantime, I keep feeling more and more scattered and incoherent.There's data out there that says that the human brain shrinks during pregnancy. A news report on NPR this morning said that new research shows that people with untreated serious depression over long periods of time show atrophy of the hippocampus.

And I'm beginning to wonder if this journal's starting to look like something out of "Flowers for Algernon".

Ahh I meant the layers of pure white and dark brown hairs. Gray but not gray.

Wow. You're one of only a very few people that noticed that, even people who look at my hair directly. Most just see the gray, which is nice for garnering senior discounts but not for much else :-D

Thats 'cus my hair does it too. :D
I've met three others in person, all guys (I'm a goyle). One guy was incan/irish. I'm a western european/meditteranean mutt with irish in the mix. I don't know the other two guy's heritage, but both were obviously anglo-celticish at least a little. So I figured - it must be irish hair?
Mine is just starting to get white enough that the white shows clearly as white in photos. How did the photographer get such lovely capture of the hair texture?

Heh. I had the cheap Wal-Mart digital camera poised on top of the screen. I was actually trying for a less artistic shot of my face, which I ended up having to take in parts. Much to my annoyance, I lost the original of this photo in a hard disk crash shortly after I took it.

And I'm telling you, it was a really good hair day, heh.
