Awwwwwwwww!

 

wii guy isn't sounding too familiar... any chance you could refresh my memory?

 

wii guy is the guy I freaked out over because his neice said he looked like mika!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

OMG I went to see a show tonight it was just so amazing! its a show called pecha kucha which is like 20 slides in 6 minuites about whatever the person wanted to talk about! this one guy got up and talked about his art and how he draws sound and smells colour!

I DO THAT! ever since I was a child ive known the smell of purple! I cant describe it other than the smell of purple because thats all I know of it!

we had the most amazing conversation and it makes me feel a little less crazy!

 

(I know ill sound like a hypochondriac or a mental patient if I go to the DR and say "I smell in colours")

It's called synasthaesia (or something like that). It's an interesting phenomenon - people who can smell/taste colours, or associate numbers with colours or moods etc. It's like your senses have been cross-wired.

yes indeedy! :thumb_yello:

I never knew there was a name for it until the other day, when I talked to a man who gave a 6 minuite talk about his art, like drawing music etc

 

...I always assumed everyone else was the same when I was a kid till I told my teacher one day about smelling purple and she looked at me as if I belonged in a loony bin!

 

I can see sound too, as patterns... it doent even have to be music. a car engine, a bike tier, a bird, a bus, a train, footsteps and heartbeats all create their own coloured patterns! you can not begin to imagine what kind of patterns mikas music creates in my mind!

OMG, I just thought of something...

 

 

In season 4 of Heroes, there's a deaf woman who can see sounds (but that's not her power)... Jut the whole seeing sounds reminded me of it...

 

wow

Just letting you all know HK won't be on for a few days. The storms and winds in the NSW area have knocked out the power to her place and it might be a few days before she gets it back. She sends her love

They look nice Rosina :D

 

I might be going to TAFE to do an Art Diploma, it will be a rude shock for DH and the kids if I suddenly have a life outside the home ROFL

 

Who am I kidding, I will still have to do all the home stuff.

 

I have put a few new paingings on my site and resized the oil paintings on photobucket so they are large enough to actually see. http://www.sharonpowell.com.au

Ooooh cool! That'd be good for you, it'll give you a chance to something other than be a mum!

 

*checks out website*

 

That mural is awesome! And I really like the one of Goulburn, it's pretty damn good!

 

 

Anyways, I better get to bed... night all!

Hey Rosina, I've seen loads of documentaries about synaesthesia and savants, I love that stuff :biggrin2:

Um, this one talks a bit about the brain connections at some point in there, although it's mostly just about how frucking good at maths this guy is http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4913196365903075662#

There's another one called Real Superhumans that has a bit about synaethesia too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgHAmshyNP8

I shell start of with a rant and then end on a good note!

the electricians still havent come to connect my electric heater yet ...the gas was removed at the end of april.(its freazing!!)

the landlord booked for them to come at 8am thursday 2 weeks ago NO SHOW!!

they turned up last thursday at lecture time.

THEN they came today and didnt even bother to press the buzzer or knock on the door they assumed I wasnt home and left a card and went to the landlord complaining that I was being obstructive! :boxed:

 

 

Banana cake?!?! I LOVE banana cake :teehee: !!!

im not good at maths and I wish like the woman it improved my memory but it doesnt for me!

well...I can remember the smell of a colour such as purple, but other things I do not remember because of my dyslexia!

Did your landlord tell them to stop being a bunch of tools and come when they are booked in? :dunno:

 

 

Damn customs! :thumbdown: If I go over to NZ you'll have to cook for me... I'm a willing guinea pig when it comes to food! :naughty:
