I associate metallic with the various carbonates. Not sure if that is usual or not.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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

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.

I know my last name is a bear, but I do wonder at the number of people who ask me to spell Ginger even after I say, "Like gingerale or gingerbread."
