I think it's intriguing that there's some scientific evidence that points to the sense of smell being closely tied to memory.

I mention this because I cooked dinner tonight (hot dogs and pierogies) and after I ate, I took my dog for a walk. When we came back in, I could still smell that food had been cooked and it made me smile. (Granted, part of it was accomplishment that I was good and cooked dinner instead of getting take-out.) But the main reason was because it made me think of when I was younger and we actually cooked more then. And it's tied in with feeling safe, secure, relaxed, good, etc.

Also? "Chuck" rocks. I can't wait for the next episode.

And the first episode reinforced this fic idea I had at the end of last season. Sure, get the INTERCEPT back up and running, but also download the information into people's heads and have trio teams (the genius and two agents - one NSA, one CIA) out and about. I'm sure that the NSA and CIA had to have seen their batting average getting better with Casey, Sarah, and Chuck running around. And the "geniuses" are pulled from the program his Stanford prof set up. And the program that teaches them to work together and for the "geniuses" to deal with the whole secret agent life.

I've tried thinking of smells that remind me of other memories.

Nothing worked. I guess the point isn't to think about the smells though, is it? =P Now I think I'll be more conscious of the smells I smell.
