ashes to ashes spoiler alert zomg
SOMETHING ODD happened today. Earlier, I was cooking (yes) and I had popped the sweetcord and the peas into a pan of boiling water. Sometimes we have mixed veg (i.e. a single pack of peas/sweetcorn/carrots) etc but today they were separate. There were no carrots. But for a good 10 seconds, every time I looked into the pan, I could see little choppings of carrots.
OR COULD I? Well obviously I couldn’t because there were no carrots, but I was perfectly aware there were no carrots and still it persisted. Every time I tried to look directly at one individual chunk of carrot it would disappear but I could still see that the pan had many others mixed in with the peas/sweetcorn, so obviously, it was only happening with parts of the pan that were not the focus of my attention. I tried boith eyes individually and each was the same.
It stopped after 10-15 seconds and I couldn’t make it happen again.
The most likely explanation I can think of is that I was having some kind of colour-blindness with the green of the peas and seeng parts of it as orange/red which my brain filled in as ‘carrot’. But I’ve never had any problems with colour-blindness. A few hours later I had the seeing stars thing, I don’t know if they’re related.
HMMMMMMM.
I liked Ashes to Ashes yesterday.
SPOILER ALERT
I strongly recommend that if you’ve not seen the ending and if there’s ever a chance you might watch this programme (Or Life On Mars, the UK version, not the US version which had a stupid ending) that you don’t read any further of this entry. This programme is of the kind of quality you’ve only seen in Lost for its first two series.
