If I wasn't so obsessed with Estonia ...

... I would be completely obsessed with Iceland. This video calls me to jump on a plane and then spend several days investigating volcanic rock and dressing children like orphans. But the song is beautiful, Sigur Ros: Glósóli, one of those haunting tunes that stays with you. Back to the writing ...

ETA A friend just sent me this link which apparently is a simple test to see if you are dominantly right or left brained. I am horrified to learn that I am mung-bean loving right brainer! It's a treacherous example of nature overcoming nurture after I've spent years learning how to score perfect dictator results on MB tests!

First time I looked, she was stubbornly turning anti-clockwise. Today I tried again, and she was turning clockwise. Then she changed direction suddenly, and I could not make her go clockwise again. Some more experiments, like closing my eyes, imagining her turning clockwise and opening made her turn clockwise again. Some more experiments, and the result is that, if I watch her legs, I can make her turn whatever way I want, but if I watch her face, she will be turning anti-clockwise. Makes me wonder what that means for my brain....

Ooh! That's quite impressive! I can't get her to change while looking at any part of her, I have to do the blink test or something similar. Though I did notice that when I clicked on the link while typing up my explanation of the blink test to another commenter, she was going anti-clockwise that time, too. I think we need to find someone who knows about neuroscience ...
