So I pointed a finger at the screen and moved it in a circle clockwise, and behold! The figure began moving clockwise. Somehow I doubt that I've been endowed with superpowers---don't I wish!---so I wonder if, instead, the image has simply been programmed to reverse direction every so often...our friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-31357054406672995622009-09-04T12:22:11.708-05:002009-09-04T12:22:11.708-05:00That's a great story Gail, thanks for playing ...That's a great story Gail, thanks for playing along with the meme.

The dancer was clearly moving counter-clockwise. I've seen those visual perceptions tests where a single image might look like a sexy model to some people and, say, a dolphin to others, but this woman was moving, circling right to left, right to left, which is counterclockwise, right? (You're right if you're guessing I didn't learn to tie my shoes until fourth grade and still wish to God they'd had Velcro fasteners when I was in school so I never had to learn to tie the damn things at all, and learning to tell time was equally challenging.) But I'm not sure how that very specific movement lends itself to different interpretations.our friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-27432285002875070902009-09-04T09:55:10.563-05:002009-09-04T09:55:10.563-05:00Dear Gail, and thanks for the link love, my friend...Dear Gail, and thanks for the link love, my friend! :-)Franceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-45703263673980410172009-09-04T09:52:34.119-05:002009-09-04T09:52:34.119-05:00Great post, Gail!

My only brush with greatness was when i'd gotten out of grad school and was home in Nashville trying to get a job. The Police, who'd just released "Roxanne" and were pretty much unknown here, were performing at a locally famous venue, Ellison Place, and some friends and I coincidentally ended up there. (We'd been trying to get into a Tim Curry concert and it was completely full, so we opted for The Police as a fallback.) it was such a small venue that I could have reached out and touched Sting.
