Difficult nightmares last night, but to my relief, about none of what I've been thining about lately. Also to my surprise, considering the degree that I was writing about some stuff with intentional brutality yesterday. This was just your typical murder, mayhem and druglords nightmare though and it's nice when there's nothing to see here. Why it all happened to the folks over at EAS, I'll never know.

I think I will go visit the Germans and then come home and do laundry. I'm not awake enough to reverse the order and get anything done.

Did Gmail's spam filter die overnight?

I really need to write a lot of Associated Content tonight.

I understand the concept behind homeopathy, and I understand that just as everything in a large enough quantity is a poison, everything in a small enough quantity isn't -- and that we utilize poisons for all sorts of internal purposes all the time. But sometimes it does weird me out to see some of the labels on homeopathy things in shops. And I wonder if most people who buy these things even know these things. Also, the colloidal silver thing freaks me out ever since someone (Kat?) sent me an article on argyria, although I'm less freaked out by it in homeopathy than the way it is listed as the wonder cure for everything on the Internet. No, it just turns you grey, you fucking freaks!

Ive noticed about a tenfold increase in spam to my gmail account over the last week or so. Ugh.

For me it was just in the last 12 hours.

Might be a good time to sweep for any malware/spyware infections. Sometimes they harvest email addresses and such.

Well, with homeopathy, the idea is that the more you dilute the "drug," the more effective it is. But the dilutions are _so_ dilute that it's completely unlikely that there's any drug _left_. In other words, homeopathy is pretty much a placebo.

Actually, very recent chemical analysis proved that this isn't the case (I can dig up some articles in non-wacky publications if you are interested). So, the theory of homeopathic dilution actually (and from my PoV shockingly) seems accurate, but that in no way increases my faith in the effecacy of the actual "medicines".
