I've noticed over the past few months that I can't visualize words as well anymore, including--very embarrassingly--Anjelica Huston! I knew it wasn't right when I wrote it, but I couldn't figure it out. Overexposure to oakmoss? Lack of gingko bilboa? Sorry, Anjelica! I used to be a champion speller, really.

This must be why Serge Gainsbourg got all those gorgeous women: Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve, Jane Birkin, and lord knows who else. I'm definitely with you on the man point.
