Things I wish my brain didn't do.

[andrewducker]

I really wish my brain didn't hold a list of "Things Andy doesn't want to think about", which it then connects to random other things that I didn't want my brain to be doing.

Jane just messaged me with something that made her happy. So I sent her a message back, and included an animated GIF based on the search "Happy Dance".

Which brought up Baloo dancing to "I Wanna Be Like You" from Disney's "The Jungle Book" (specifically the bit where he says "And I'm loaded with both").

Which instantly earwormed me with the song, because it's one of Sophia's favourites.

And realising I was earwormed made my brain go "Oh yes, this is a brain thing we don't like. So now you've lost The Game too."

And then, about a second later, added "And also The Human Centipede Game."

Which then reminded me of the existence of A Serbian Film (I recommend not looking that up. And definitely not reading the Wikipedia summary, particularly if you find it hard to get horrible things out of your head.)

And then I felt a compulsion to tell all of you about it, in the hope that this would in some way pass it on.

Which makes me feel like I'm in The Ring. Which terrified me.

Aieee!

Odd things, brains.

My latest will tell you all about what I don't want to think about and again, I thought sharing it might help. :o(

Thank you for the warning not to look up A Serbian Film. I will not.

Serbian Film was so horrific. Once I heard what it was a metaphor for though, it made sense in some weird way.

But dear god. It was the only film I've ever seen where I was truly utterly befuddled and horrified in a way that wasn't just jump scares. But something more deeper and primal.

It's not something I ever want to watch again, but I'm glad I did (as someone who doesn't have such traumas obvious, but for those easily triggered, DO NOT WATCH)

This is where I'm happy there are guided meditation apps :)

The Game. The Game of Dogs! Which are better, puppers or doggos? How many good boys have you met?

I like that!

Oh man, much sympathy. Brains sure do be that way
