Brain Droppings

Things that fell out of my head on the train to TIFF.

• I think my socks are on inside out. Are my socks on inside out?
• Why don't we get the Globe and Mail?
• What is it about electronic communications that once you're immersed in it you need it all the time? If it's analgous to oral culture, then I can see how the sudden lack of it can cause major dislocation. But that's a post and PhD for another time. 
• Eating outdoors - even if it's next to the train tracks - is one of life's great joys.
• Railroads are the spine of this country. Rail ties are its ribcage.
• I remember every photo I didn't take. I would describe them for you, but that would take too long. 
• Sometimes we lose sight of the amazing things our brains come up with when we're not constantly stimulating them with crap from YouTube.
• Jesus, my handwriting is awful. Even for me. Those aren't even letters. What the hell are those? The last vestiges of print-based culture, no doubt.
