Sep. 15th, 2004 09:46 am"Ah I remember when I was <age> it seems like only yesterday."
"But that was ages ago."
"I have a really, really bad memory."
And lo, this was my Thing for the day™ my utterly terrible memory.
Particularly irksome this morning as I had several fantastical dreams of extremely weird nature that I would have liked to retained here - or somewhere at least - so I could further work out the twisted meanderings of my brain in it's unguarded state of delusion.
Obviously, this isn't happening. My memory has been, of late, reduced to post it notes. I have trained myself to ensure that if I want something memorised I write it down and stick it somewhere (wall, door, pocket) and then hope I remember or check it's there when I need to. Training my memory by rote.
But can you improve my memory, I fully admit that mine is absolutely terrible and I would like to assist it in retaining something useful other than the critical result for 100 on the plasma table for Rolemaster1 but how?
Electroshock therapy?
Brain press-ups? (Up and down, uppppp and down)
Feeding it random bits of information and then trying to surprise it by querying mydatabase brain at random times?
Mnemonics?
1 Foe is reduced to a gelatinous pulp, fetch a spatula.
