My brain is too transparent

I can see too much of what's going on in my brain. A few minutes ago, I tried to think of the title of a book. Couldn't remember in in English, but I had it in Finnish. And then my brain went, oh, hang on, I know that word comes up in a song, and in the song, it's this word, so that must be the same thing, and then that's the possessive, so... aha. Sophie's World. And instead of all this happening in the background, this was really occupying my thinking, except I wasn't directing it at all.

Obviously you need to run your search commands with "&" appended at the end. Running them in the foreground is just messy. :)

I find that I have something similar happen to me. Sometimes sentences pop into my head before I say them but one of the words is wrong. It's like my brain trying to trip me up. Normally I have to run through a list before I figure out what it is I'm trying to say. Last night it was a case of "Will you put the shampoo in the ... fridge
BATHROOM, thanks.
Mind you it's scarey that sometimes I can just go what the hell and say what I'm thinking and himself knows what I'm on about!
