living under a rock...
i used to be really informed. like, we're talking only months ago. i used to read the NYT and the post and listen to "morning edition". the BBC and i weren't long-lost friends. jurist and i were more to each other than ships passing in the night.
now?
sheesh... i don't have a clue about what's going on in the world. i've kept up with notre dame football, for chrissakes! why the hell can't i keep up with real news?
maybe the brain works like the stomach... maybe there's only so much it can take in before it gets too full to function. and so you have to wait for what's already there to digest before there's room made for anything new?

Try going on a news fast. It's amazing what it will do for you. I tried it a couple of years ago and it was amazing. I was able to concentrate on doing somthing about the things over which I had direct control, which relatively speaking is very little.
I think the news gets us all keyed up on information about things that we can do precious little about. I'm not advocating ignorance, but a short term fast makes you appreciate what info you do have and can do something about.
Listen to this and you'll be glad you've been living in a cave.

Umm - yeah, brains don't work like that, that is unless you're Kelly Bundy (Christina Applegate).
