Thursday, December 12, 2002 What up? I'm at RMIT Uni right now. In an hour I will re-enrol. But good news everybody - well at least good news for me. I got my results for German. Impressive. Worked my ass off and it paid. Good good. As you Bloggers out there may or may not know, I am reading a trilogy of books in the Mars series (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) about the colonization of .... (yup you guessed it) Mars. It is the "ultimate in future history" combining political commentary with science, views on religion, culture and is generally just a bloody unbelieveable read. Anyway, there was a term in there that I thought might be of interest to ya'll: jamais vu. At Skepdic.com they define Jamais vu as "the contrary of déjà vu. In jamais vu, an experience feels like it's the first time, even though the experience is a familiar one. Jamais vu occurs in certain types of amnesia and epilepsy.". At The Word Spy: The illusion or impression of never having experienced something that has actually been experienced many times before (cf. déjà vu). Strange, eh. I like the term though. My friend Jen says she loves the feeling of déjà vu as she believes her life is following the right path when she experiences it. Cool posted by AJ | 9:46 AM | | ||
