But I'm not a neurologist or anything close.<br />I call it brain too big. I have quite a good memory for all sorts of minutiae and apparently quite an amount of synapses to connect. Makes life more interesting. Not necessarily in the nice ways, though.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451092262381231105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8657132121651874102.post-76898412858339345832009-11-04T19:35:37.619+01:002009-11-04T19:35:37.619+01:00Naw, it's not synaesthesia, which is a cool so...Naw, it's not synaesthesia, which is a cool something, but is a straightforward replacement of a different sensory "read" for a given "input," i.e, appearance of red = flavor of peanut butter, sound of D-flat = rough suede. Intertextuality? Maybe...for sure, it's the hyperstack network of your mind, identifying some very interesting connections. When you decide why your brain found wires from some of these ideas to the others, you might find intertextuality...meanwhile, enjoy the ride. It's fun to be in the passenger seat!<br /><br />To add to your potential associations...I have heard from someone who grew up in Brooklyn that both the title song and the movie pretty strongly captured the aspirations of girls from the other boroughs to a life in Manhattan, which was right there, but across the water...which gives *me* an interesting link back to your comment about the sea. Hmmm.... (see, you got me thinking, so now you have inspired me! the chain goes on...)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.com
