What is that smell?

http://stuartcw.livejournal.com/689812.html

I went to doctors on Saturday for my monthly appointment and mentioned that I had a cough and sore throat and he looked up my nose, dabbed my throat with Iodine and sent me away with 5 more different tablets to take. I wasn't feeling so bad when I went there but, actually, after taking the antibiotics and the mucus thinner; excuse the gory details, I feel a lot better than I did. I guess you can get used to feeling run down. While I was in the shower this morning I noticed a really weird smell, I couldn't locate it but when I got out, I found that Chizu was cooking Brocolli in the kitchen. If you loose your sense of smell gradually, you don't notice it in the same way you would if you lost your sight, sense of touch or hearing. But when your sense of smell comes back you get affronted by all sorts of smells. Tonight I noticed the smell of strawberries in the refridgerator and it was quite overpowering.Zen's sense of smell is amazing. He detected Chizu was secretly eating a sweet in the kitchen several meters away and went in to demand one.c.f How Can I Accurately Test a Patient for Loss of Ability to Smell?

A dream within a dream

http://stuartcw.livejournal.com/689608.html

I told Zen this morning the plot behind a time-travel movie. At first he didn't get it but suddenly his eyes lit up and he shuddered when he understood what I meant. He decided that he didn't want to meet himself in the past.Later in the conversation he asked, "Where is it that we are seeing when we are dreaming?", which kind of says to me that up and until then he thought he was seeing a different physical place to the real world in his dreams ala L.P.Lovecraft's "Dreamlands"..

The Third Eye Video Camera

http://www.hammacher.com/publish/76427.asp?promo=new_items&cm_ven=CJ&cm_pla=1781363&cm_ite=Hammacher+Schlemmer&cm_cat=1511450

"Smaller than a golf ball, this ultralight spherical video camera attaches to a headband, providing a third eye. The camera's sensor captures images at 320 x 240 resolution at 30 fps (the built-in microphone records audio). Up to 1,200 still images and six hours of video can be saved onto the included 8GB micro SD memory card. The rechargeable battery provides up to 2.5 hours of continuous operation from an eight-hour charge using the included USB cable. The camera can also be set to record images and video when it detects movement, preserving battery life."
