Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What kind of weird aftertaste?

I can't quite say. It is making my ginger ale taste a bit off. Metallic. And now I swear I smell burning wiring. I think I need to take a scent break and fill my lungs with the west side polluted sea air.

Plus I just spilt a cup of water across my desk.

Which has nothing to do with the burning smell, I'm fairly sure.

And if it does...well, I'll be outside.

I associate metallic with the various carbonates. Not sure if that is usual or not.

I actually think the Tums themselves taste quite decent. Which is why the aftertaste is surprising me. Then again, if my stomach liked me, I wouldn't be chowing down on these.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I get an aftertaste with those, too.

Cool. If it is a weird medical condition, I like the company.

Speaking of company, Yahoo bought Zimbra. I've never heard of Zimbra. My new job is making me even more out of touch with the market.

Escape plans somewhat thwarted by a cool day in LA and me working by a noisy intersection. Not exactly news to me, so I wonder how I forgot. Still outside, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hooray for hot water, sara!!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My name, okay my names, get misspelled all the time, but I know my first name is a variant spelling, and my last name is, uh, I guess it is just confusing.

But I really thought I gave my kids normal names with traditional spellings. Turns out nobody can spell their names correctly either. Oops. Sorry pups, didn't mean to do that to you.

Sometimes I get Jenn instead of Jen, but mostly I go by Jennifer, so it's not usually an issue. I guess there are alternate spellings, but people don't seem to use them much. My last name on the other hand is the less common spelling of a moderately common name.

Hot water, yay!

Nobody can spell anything, is the thing.
