You What Now?

I am not one of those people who literally study brains as their career/job/living but I think maybe even they are with me in the "brains don't make sense!" thing?

I was trying to fall asleep last night (as one does) and for whatever reason my brain was thinking about some actor and then about another actor who was in one of the versions of a tv mini series that was made by two different .... uh, what do we call them... tv making show places?

Jessica Biel played the character in one version and the other Olsen sister played the character in another.  And then I couldn't remember her name.  I didn't want to try to remember her name but my brain got stuck on it.  "Mary Kate and Ashley" "Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen" just went through my head over and over as I tried to half think of the *other* sister's name.  I refused to get out of bed to google it and I told myself I would remember I was wondering in the morning but man oh man was my brain ever stuck on this "mystery" for far too long.

And then of course when I woke up I had completely forgotten my need to know, which is totally fine but then get this.... I was in the shower when my brain remembered "Hey!  You wanted to know that other Olsen sister's name!  Look it up when you're out of the shower ok!?" And I was like well thanks brain, that's a random thing to remember, and then my brain went "ELIZABETH!  ELIZABETH OLSEN!" which as it turns out is the name of that particular Olsen sister and the actor I was trying to remember but why my brain could think of it half checked out in the shower but not half checked out in bed is beyond me.  And I'm legit not even sure why I remembered her name at all! (Although I did think she did a good job in the role and I remember the first time I found out she was a sister to the twins I was pretty surprised, only really knowing them from Full House n stuff....)

So yeah, my brain, Ladies and Gentlemen... I can't even!
