New Toys
My new toy is a slick little digital voice-recorder. {I've been in contact
with the Underground Resistance deep inside the HLP; they say that if I
cut out Kevin's tongue, I can "write" the next ten books, so I've been
practising my "style"}
Anyway, I've this short-term memory problem I won't admit to. If I need to
go to town to do three things, I won't write them down. Fuck that, I'm a man.
So by the time I get to town, one of them's already gone. Lessee, go by
the bank and terrorize that nice girl that handles the money, stop by th feed store
and kick Cleatus in the ass, and ....ok, it was ... uh ... no ... c'mon now ! Shit.
I've started thinking of it as "memory holes." I know there was a third thing, and
I can "see" where that thing was, but I cannot remember it. No way, and I've learned
just to give up. I'll remember it as soon as I get back out to the ranch. Oh, yeah, fuck
get deer corn, and dangit, I was right there AT the feed store, too. Old fool.
Aw well, I'll go in & get it tomorrow. Nah, I ain't gonna write it down, I'll remember.
So anyway, this little recorder is just slick. Also, as I'm toolin' around in the pick-up
truck, I can record all the snide comments I want to make to people I hate the next
time I see them. Missed alot of good opportunities in the past to be an asshole because
I know I had something smart to say to you, but dangit. Well, no more.

Make sure you don't forget you have recorded things. ... write it down or something.

"No, it's not amnesia. I have no short-term memory. I know who I am and all about myself, but since my injury I can't make any new memories. Everything fades. If we talk for too long, I'll forget how we started. I don't know if we've ever met before, and the next time I see you I won't remember this conversation. So if I seem strange or rude, that's probably...
...I've told you this before, haven't I?"
