Is it just me? When they introduce me somebody, I never manage to memorize their name. Then I always have to ask the embarrassing question "What is your name again?" I remember everything else but the name... Bizarre.

Reading voice
Ok, another really weird consideration, buckle up! I don't know about you, but I usually re-read all my writings (even all my emails), and I mentally read using my own voice, of course. When I read emails from somebody that I know, I usually imagine his or her voice. And when I'm reading stuff from somebody I don't know? Well, I default back to my own voice.
My way of reading, I guess, implies that I have to go exactly at the same speed as if I was speaking... That's why for me reading a book takes forever!

Candid Camera
An entire afternoon spent at my mechanic's gave me an idea for a candid camera that has some potentials, I think. It seems that the best way to describe a car problem is to reproduce the noise with the mouth! "When I brake it makes a khrkhrkhr", "Is this graaang normal?", "I hear a strange cktik!"
