(filed under 'general')

where's my laundry ball? - 12:19 PM
(filed under 'general')
man, i wish they'd hurry up with the damn laundry ball which i ordered almost two weeks ago. i've run out of laundry powder & don't want to buy a whole new box of it if the laundry ball is going to arrive any day soon. besides, i don't want to use laundry powder at our new place since the water will going back onto our own land.
i just rang & left a message so hopefully they'll call back soon & let me know when it might arrive. last week i had to use some laundry powder samples which i happened to have lying around. i'm going to do some groceries soon, so i'll have to have a look to see what's the very smallest packet of laundry powder they sell. maybe i'll be lucky & they'll have some samples there. sue is coming tomorrow to do the cleaning & the laundry as she usually does & i can't just keep putting off the laundry or we're going to start smelling really bad pretty soon.
left or right? - 09:32 AM

i just took the mind media brain persuasion test which i found at melanie's weblog. the percentage results are below, with their summary following:
auditory : 40%
visual : 60%
left : 46%
right : 53%
"Coralie, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.
Since neither of these is completely centered, you lack the indecision and second-guessing associated with other patterns. You have a distinct preference for creativity and intuition with seemingly sufficient verbal skills to be able to translate in any meaningful way to yourself and others.
You tend to see things in "wholes" without surrendering the ability to attend to details. You can give them sufficient notice to be able to utitlize and incorporate them as part of an overall pattern.
In the same way, while you are active and process information simultaneously, you demonstrate a capacity for sequencing as well as reflection which allows for some "inner dialogue."
All in all, you are likely to be quite content with yourself and your style although at times it will not necessarily be appreciated by others. You have sufficient confidence to not second-guess yourself, but rather to use your critical faculties in a way that enhances, rather than limits, your creativity.
You can learn in either mode although far more efficiently within the visual mode. It is likely that in listening to conversations or lecture materials you simultaneously translate into pictures which enhance and elaborate on the meaning.
It is most likely that you will gravitate towards those endeavors which are predominantly visual but include some logic or structuring. You may either work particularly hard at cultivating your auditory skills or risk "missing out" on being able to efficiently process what you learn. Your own intuitive skills will at times interfere with your capacity to listen to others, which is something else you may need to take into account."
