i have no short term memory

i love my cell phone. my phone is black and obviously, my hand is not white...but i am short on time. i have a motorola razor phone, like a lot of folks these days. and i love it.

it has become my short term memory. if i don't take a photo, text it to myself or even make a video, i am going to forget about it. if you give me a list of things to do and you don't watch me write it down, consider it forgotten. post-it-notes are my best friends. my short term memory has never been good, but as i get older it is virtually non-existent. i can walk from one room to another with a purpose in mind and completely forget that purpose when i get there.

sometimes when sara walks out the door in the morning or calls on my way home to ask me to pick something up, i acknowledge the request and immediately forget what was asked of me. it's scary. this is the reason that i was freaked out for two days after seeing the movie memento. the movie portrays what would happen if someone did not have a short term memory at all. he ended up tattooing himself to remember things. i hope it doesn't come to that. i don't want the words "milk" or "eggs" permanently tattooed on my body. i can think of much better body art.

i know i'm random. i can't remember what else to say.
