    Is there a name for the sensation of currently forgetting something you just had in mind?

    I have occasional celebrity name blindness, or whatever.

    Some days I can name every celebrity I see in a picture, and other days I can’t pull up a single one. I recognize the woman in the picture, but I can’t recall her name at the moment, but maybe I will be able to tomorrow.

    A while back, someone posted a picture of the Rolling Stones, and I knew every name, but Mick Jagger’s.

    Robert De Niro, Al Pachino, Christopher Walken, Matthew McConaughey are all names I’ve “misplaced” recently. At the same time, I can get Woody Harrelson, though--when I was commenting about Brothers.

    This isn’t new, I’ve had this weird affliction my whole life, I think.

    This is me working late. Checklists become my only hope. That and breaking down the tasks into absurdly smaller tasks.
