Once again: dinner break.

Much, much better--coughing a little, but I seem to have dodged the Endless Cough entirely (knock on wood). Still kind of weak and easily tired, and the damage is basically done: I lost nearly a week of work time right before deadline. Not entirely, because I was definitely at my desk for most of it, but... it's not really quality time when mucus is your copilot.

Gladiator is so very nearly done, but I'm stalling on a few scenes near the end--I always do this, dammit--and so I'm moving on for the moment. Maybe inspiration'll come to me in my sleep, I don't know. Still, it's just as unfinished if I work on something else or not, so I might as well be productive. I'm looking over my notes and drafts, though, and I don't know whether to work on Independence Day or Spider-Man next.

It's still too close to telepathy for comfort. I may have to make a conscious decision to use the tools, but unless there's a way to pick and choose exactly WHICH sub-vocalizations the other person hears, I'd be wary of it.

Now, I kinda like the idea, because I'm really bad at conversing on the phone. I get tongue-tied, and this technology would prevent that. However, unless there's a way to STOP thoughts like "OMG STUPID SHOULD HURT" from being communicated, I think I'd better pass.

P.S. The icon loves you, too. :oP

Hmm...good point on the cellphone idea. On the other hand, if you hooked it up to a word processor, think how fast you could dictate papers and brainstorm things. You could literally catch every passing thought and go back to examine it for merit. How many random thoughts do we have every day that we completely forget about and don't pursue?

That WOULD be nice, if only to help me remember that I need to buy milk.
