Watching TV tonight, there was an ad for an upcoming 'Bourne Identity' double showing.

The guy looked so familiar... I thought it could be Brad Pitt. I use Brad as an example of how I don't recognise anyone. Like, I know he was in 'Fight Club', but I don't recall what he looks like. I just know he was 'the one with stubble'.

So I told a flatmate that the Bourne Guy looked familiar, but before I could ask whether he was Brad, I was told it was Mat Damon. Mild humour ensued, and I assured some flatmates I didn't think anyone could be Brad. Females clearly aren't Brad. Old people aren't Brad. The two flatmates in the room aren't Brad.

Then I was told I'd seen the Bourne Identity. I have a Total Zero on that, so it's... Gone. I'm sure I just have some kind of poor visual memory. Things like visual memory tests I do fine, where you look at a group of objects for a minute then decide what's been rearranged next time you look. Then again - I spend my minute linking the objects to word patterns. And times when I've had shock, I seem to lose more TV than anything else. Total Zero means the Bourne Identity went that way. I'm told I thought it was just 'okay', so I may not bother with round two.

Oh. And now it's four am, and I just realised Mat Damon is someone I have not recognised before.

I wonder if it would hurt my rent a crowd idea if we all didn't know who Mat Damon was - but thought he might be Brad Pitt.
