Recovered memories

I'm really proud that I could remember this far back. Last night for some reason I remember from when I was three or so and had a set of pajamas of the show "My Pet Monster." All I could remember at first was vaguely what the character looked like and that he had handcuffs that he would break out of. After thinking about it a little more I remembered what I though was the title and then found it on Retrojunk and then youtube.

Turns out the whole thing was created by a toy company. I think I had one of those too. A bunch of shows I liked as a child were really just half hour commercials for some toy, that's kind of depressing.

But anyway, used some cognitive neuroscience shit to remember. It's called priming, basically if you remember a little bit of something you just focus on that and start remembering other things that are linked to that memory and eventually you got something. I've been reading Seed a lot.
