涨价版《月亮之上》

我在遥望,
市场之上,
有多少的东西正在自由的上涨,
昨天已经,
掏干了钱囊,
和你重逢在借钱的路上,
手头越来越紧,只能回想,
有钱的日子象在天堂,呕也,呕也,呕也
谁在控制,物价狂涨,
昂贵的猪肉象白云在飘荡,
东边借钱,西边还帐,再紧紧腰带,来碗面汤

About Daily

刚才打开空间,刷了很久才刷进去,然后又对“添加日记”的按钮按了许久才进入编辑页面;这种看似即将会发生但不知道还要等多少分钟发生,或者不知道会不会发生的感觉十分令人无奈。老实说,并不是第二次进来写日记才意识到这种感觉,即便是之前“功课式”地保存浏览过的文章和打开别人的主页窥探人家的日记时,这种感觉充满了期待和疑惑……
    这些突然而来的想法令我想起些什么的。
    自从那篇循例的博客诞生后,一直对于找些什么内容来填充而感到烦恼,不如写写养猫心得吧,听说通过这些题材所涉及的关键字很容易就找到圈子,所不定还能给猫咪找户好人家呢~可惜女大不中留,似乎比我更早地为这个问题而坐言起行比我抢先一步了。(尽管我不知道向来以敏捷、九次复活著称的家猫如何在20楼的窗户,在没有任何棚架的情况下能够安然着陆,但是至少我还相信No News is good news吧!)看来养猫圈看着是不成气候了,总不能够跟人家纸上谈“猫”的嘛!!
    写些关于阅读文章书刊的心得估计不错,平时对时政社会算得有点关注和看法,但是又怕文字功底薄弱,总不能避免指指点点中写出些贻笑大方的观点,恐怕无意中引来一两位友人看后笑了笑便扬长而去了。
    还是转发些情爱观点好了,但纵观了一类博客,这些话题尽管吸引却看不见丝毫的踪影,其实想想看也对,如果某君有了女朋友总不能写些卿卿我我的内容,毕竟你招惹了友人过来留言就有点相当于一个公众地方了,别人路过看着那些多愁善感的对话的确有点对不起中国人内敛的个性。再说,假如某君跟对方因某某事吵架了张扬开来,还不能排除一些对手乘虚而入。

    不如……

    都是些无厘头的假想。生活像天平,希望通过在虚拟的国度里多写些无厘头的东西能让现实变得更加充实。

很闷很无聊

昨天整整睡了13个钟。在早上7点的时候醒过,但是找不到要自己起床的理由;下午回去又睡过,想不睡但是找不到不睡的理由,于是一天就这样耗费掉。
今天只睡了8个钟。早上8点的时候醒了,但由于今天不是工作日,本来可以继续睡却起了床——仿佛为了迎接我们李大爷的光临。
中午饭气攻心,本来可以打盹却上了网忽悠——仿佛为了去图书馆看看时事周刊。
    到底这网络日记想表达些什么呢?当我在思考这个问题时往往打消自己发布的冲动,为什么像我这样一个思想高度活跃,乃至晚上大说梦话的人,面对日记的写作会显得那么乏力呢?(记得初中的那滔滔不绝的日记和高中轻狂的周记……)
    还是没有回答自己的提问~希望那天再番起这篇My first blog能想起答案吧!

Amnesia Destroys Imagination as Well as Memory, Study Finds

Amnesia Destroys Imagination as Well as Memory, Study Finds

Brian Handwerk
From National Geographic News
January 17, 2007
Amnesia may rob people of their imaginations as well as their memories, new research suggests.
"What we've shown is that people with amnesia really are stuck in the present," said lead study author Eleanor Maguire of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at University College London.
"They can't recall the past, and now it seems that they can't even imagine the future or indeed richly imagine even fictitious experiences."
Amnesia, which is sometimes temporary, describes several conditions that involve partial or complete memory loss.
Brain damage, tumors, strokes, or even psychological issues that cause the brain to black out disturbing memories can cause the effect. (Related: "Beyond the Brain" in National Geographic magazine.)
Incomplete Picture
Reporting this week in the online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Maguire and colleagues examined patients who were "profoundly amnesic."
These patients were unable to acquire any new memories.
Several of the amnesiacs did have some past memories, but only of events that occurred 10 or even 20 years before the onset of their illness. Many had no detailed memories of anything that had ever happened in their lives.
The researchers asked the amnesiacs to imagine scenarios such as lying on a sandy beach and then to describe what the experience would be like—what they would see, hear, and smell.
But the patients could describe only fragmented scenes.
"They described many of the elements that would characterize the experience," Maguire said. "But they couldn't put them into a spatial context—they couldn't organize them into the location of that scenario."
"They would know there should be a sea, that there would be sand, but in the way they described it, they'd say, I just can't visualize the whole scene as you'd like," she added.
Without an environment or location to house a scene, amnesiacs may be unable to recreate or imagine normal experiences.
"If you think about memories, they are always somewhere, because things happen somewhere," Maguire explained. "So spatial context is very important for our experiences."
Placing a Memory
Scientists believe that the brain recalls past events by meticulously reconstructing the individual cues of an experience—the people, objects, and other aspects that composed the scene.
This process is thought to occur in a region of the brain known as the hippocampus, which was damaged in the amnesiac patients studied. (Related: "First Ever Brain 'Atlas' Completed" [September 26, 2006].)
The new study implies that similar processes in the hippocampus are also used to imagine future events, suggesting that memory and imagination are two sides of the same coin.
The hippocampus may provide the spatial context that binds and blends the people, objects, and other aspects of a memory—or an imagined event.
"Maybe the hippocampus," Maguire said, "is the basic scaffold around which memories are hung."
