Weekend

My weekend was spent in Abderdeen and other semi-Northwards places with Lilian.  Details here.  Was both pretty and fun.

I do not currently have any details.  I am living on assumptions.

When I have some, they will be released in a careful tactful manner.

That is all.

Bad Day

In amongst the other ongoing stuff, my grandmother has got worse.  A bout of food poisoning has fucked up her insulin.  She's now being given regular injections, but is waking up for only a few minutes at a time.

She's ninety.  She seems to be fed up with living.  I'm not sure I wouldn't feel the same way if I was in her position.

I hope she can at least feel at peace.

Thought

I'm thinking of using the services of these people.  Anyone else had any experience of them?

All spooked out

So, this guy, right, he finds a camera in the woods.  And posts the photos from it online.

Now that's some spooky stuff.

More brain stuff

While player A was contemplating his revenge, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan determined what parts of his brain were active. The scans showed increased activity in the striatum, a region associated with the processing of rewards, but only when A knew he could hurt B financially. The implication was that real punishment feels good. To explore the significance of this emotion, the researchers sometimes charged A for his revenge. They found that the level of striatum activity positively correlated with how much money a participant was willing to pay for the opportunity to retaliate. The anticipation of pleasure apparently affected a player's eagerness to punish.
