Note to self:

When you're eating salsa, and you've gotten to the Dregs One Must Eat By Hand Or Spoon, and you decide, on a whim, that your nose is stuffed up, for god's sake just get up and get a damn tissue! You know this!

(Also, in case you're wondering, the same applies if you decide you need to wipe your eyes or, for some reason, touch any of your private parts. Just trust me on this and don't ask why I bring it up.)

On a semi-related note, I think I may actually have done damage to my tastebuds. The other day, I was eating Sri Lankan curry which I had, for some reason, gotten without the rice. I ate the sauce with a spoon - no problems. Attributed it to poor cooking on their part. But today, I was eating hot salsa, and the same thing! It didn't seem hot to me anymore! On the other hand, my face didn't get all hot and sweaty either, so maybe my body's just acclimated. Weird time for it to do so, though, when until the Sri Lankan thing I'd barely had hot food in months.

Oh yes that rocks.

You know how I'm always whining about PDF files? I hate them, because Adobe slows down my computer horribly.

Well, a while ago I downloaded an extension, "PDF Download" and completely forgot about it. Today, I accidentally clicked on a PDF file... and was automatically given the option to view it as HTML in a new tab. Yay! Of course, the presentation sucked, but that might not be the fault of the extension. And it's well worth it to never have to have my computer frozen for five minutes again because somebody forgot to put a PDF warning on their link.

Two loosely related things...

1. If you're not reading gpf_comic_jk, you should remedy the situation immediately.
2. A while back, I set myself to reading all the back comics. One storyline had them going through time. At one point, one of the characters suffers... a bit of a mishap.

Now, what's really interesting is that despite the fact that I consciously knew he was talking backwards, I couldn't read the words backwards. I couldn't even see them backwards unless I took the effort. Every time I saw his text, I read it forwards, then had to stop and say "no, wait, he's talking backwards" and translate this like it.

I have one question about this. Why?

Oh, and read gpf_comic_jk.

*stares*

I doubt we need another political comm on LiveJournal, and I'm fairly certain that the person I'm talking to has the intelligence of your average gnat, and yet... I can't tear myself away. And it hurts. It's rather akin to hitting my head very hard and very often. I had a more intelligent conversation with Ana today. I gave her bear some water, she passed me the dog, I said "this is it, then he's all done", she said "all done?", I said "yes", and when he was done she said "All done!". I felt like I really accomplished something talking to my Ana-banana.
