172. Pavlovian Reactions... or not.

So, Pavlov's dogs started drooling at suppertime, whether there was food or not. Right?

I apply hand lotion and immediately have to pee.

Is that the same thing?


I listen to the 23-year-olds at work talking 'Yeah, it's like forty quid but it's gonna be, like, awesome, and it's just like an awesome day with like loads of cool bands and it ends at ten so we could like go to the pub afterwards or something' and I immediately feel both bored and tired. Which I'm sure is the same thing.

But because I am not a dog, it occurs to me that I am both Pavlov, and his dogs. So at least I am not alone in my psychological suggestibility.

  1. hmm. very philosophical.

    i can always eat. what does pavlov make of that?

    and i have the same reaction to the 23-year-olds night out. sounds tiring. and i'd miss the apprentice.

    ps HOW can there be episodes of the west wing you have not seen. SURELY that is NOT possible??!
