Brains working

Didn't do a lot today.. Yeahyeahyeah, worked on some sites. But that's it. Suddenly I got a phonecall that a design for a invitation had to be ready today instead of next week. So I had 2 hours to fix something up... Great...This is always the problem for designers, photographers, ... it had to be ready yesterday. But yesterday you didn't had the information.
Aaargh...
Anyway fixed it.
Later continued working on the websites.
12 o'clock PM, after eating chips, I see a documentary on the brains. It seems that our brains are changing all the time, and brain cells are making links all the time, with other brain cells.
So it is really right to say it is all about linking...
For children, the linking happens all the time, the dissapearing also.
It is truly an amazing to see how the brain works, how there are memories locked.
Memories recapturing is a miracle, because we remember what we felt the same time.
As for me I try to capture my memories and lock them in this big library in my mind.
I know I remember a lot of things, because at night, I dream away, and I relive things again and again.
The documentary explains why I remember certain things better than others. Why every moment of sunset in TLV is burnt in my brain. While from other days I don't remember anything.

I guess in a way this is why I started to take pictures in the first place. To burn those things in other places than my mind. When I see a picture, I can recall everything, even conversations. Word by word.
Other memories don't need those pictures, because they are strong enough...
