Finally got my phone fixed up today... having an actual day off for a change's been quite a treasure. I haven't sat down to draw yet, but that's about to be remedied. Today was uneventful. Full of sleeping in and junk food, and I even forgot to shave... not really like me at all, of late. But I don't feel terrible...

Well, yes I do. I met my match in a can of ghost pepper salsa. Since I'm fond of Thai's hot stuff, I figured it'd be worth a try.

Folks... there's a difference between spicy, and corrosive. Understand the difference, because these aren't written anywhere. I can't even taste the spice in most peppers, even Habaneros just have a strange aftertaste to me. At first I found the pain to be really annoying, right in the front of my mouth... so I figured I'd eat with the back of my tongue.

Because of that wonderful decision, I overdid it and couldn't tell something was wrong until the pain started welling up in my throat. It felt like something was trying to dig its way through my esophagus, and my stomach's still acting screwy. All in all... not worth it. To those who want a spicy challenge? Hell, go for it. The crap's in Wal-Mart, in the Hispanic Food section. It's the only one of its kind. Mrs. Re-something's ghost pepper salsa. Have fun. Blame yourself.
