Martian Death Flu strikes again!

[hiddenmuse]

Yeah ... just when Kellie is getting over her bout of Martian Death Flu, I'm starting to develop it.

I want to spend all weekend in bed, sleeping and being angsty over being sick.

And I seem to be developing an earache ... in my pierced ear. Yeah, that'll make my "cotton ball soaked in warm sweet oil" remedy seriously fun. Mainly because my tragus is swollen (to where I can't even put the iPod earbud into my ear *pout*) and I still have to clean it twice-daily.

That's all for now!


p.s.: My fellow Mac Geeks users - how do I type foreign characters on the Mac? When I had a PC, I just had to hit "Alt" and the three-digit code on the numeric keypad. I'd like to have my umlauts back! Thank you very much!

I don't completely remember which one is which, but it's option-something for the accent, then the letter which you want the accent over. So I'm just going to play for the rest of the comment and tell you how I got stuff :-)

é (that was option-e, then e)
î (that was option-i, then i)
ü (option-u, then u)
ñ (option-n, then n)
à (option-tilde, then a)

If you go to System Preferences -> International -> Input Menu, and then turn on the Keyboard Viewer, you'll get an icon in the menubar that looks like a flag...go to that menu, open Keyboard Viewer, and you can see what characters you'll get when you hit the modifier keys (option and shift mostly...the apple key doesn't do anything for keystrokes, just commands. I just realized that was an easy way to get some of the Greek letters I need for homework!
