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".

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.
