I guess I'm a pretty auditory person, as I've never assumed music to take on the form of pictures. It always just stays music in my head, often triggering other music thoughts, making me think in music. Sometimes I think that a particular scene would go along well with the music, but the scenes are usually an afterthought and ultimately quite simple (nothing like a mental ganz graft). derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- kills germs on contact --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
