OHMYGOD THANK GOD FOR UNICODE
So lately, some special characters around the 'net have been showing up as Chinese characters for me. I didn't realise exacty why 'til now:
I had changed the encoding on IE to default to Japanese, because I was looking at some song lyrics! *facepalm*
So I switched it back to normal, and then realised there was another option -- Unicode UTF-8. I changed it to that, and the Esperanto e-mail I was reading ACTUALLY DISPLAYED THE SPECIAL CHARACTERS! ON YAHOO MAIL!
What an epiphany. Holy shit why didn't I think of it before? I wonder if the IPA symbols on linguaphiles will show up now...
Hah, I'm reading a review for the Super Furry Animals CD in Welsh (that I just bought, hence them showing up in my music):
That the band is capable of cramming a songs with names like "Pan Ddaw'r Wawr" and "(Nid) Hon Yw'r Gan Sy'n Mynd i Achub yr Iaith" in your head is commendable, if not downright astounding.
Also, the Science Channel made me cry today... ='|
They had segments about SETI, the Arecibo message, the Voyager probes, and various attempts to send out information into space on their show Discoveries This Week. The thought about messages and images that may very well live on past us, and will go on forever through space, even if they're not found, shreds of our culture and world...
*wipes off tear* I don't know, it's just kind of touching. Really touching actually.
Oh my god... ahahahah... I just realised it now... Ahahahaha...
Have you all seen *IT* yet? Because if not, I don't know if it's really spoiler or anything, but... AHAHHAHAHA
I had a dream. And I just remembered a part of it. Stop reading now if you don't want to be spoiled a gag from HHG that really did catch me off guard.
Stop now.
Don't look down.
You gone? Okay.
So in HHG, Humma Kavula is the big Popey cheese. His Great Green Arkleseizure-ian religion is hugely huge and as far as I can tell based off the Catholic church to a T. His sermon was fantastic and I laughed my ass off...One of the only parts of the movie where I did.
Okay, enough background. So he's John Malkovich and he wears glasses that eerily resemble my 3d glasses.
He takes them off in one part of the movie -- revealing these gaping holes. His 'eyes' in the rest of the movie are apparently just video screens. It's very creepy and he's an ugly-ass creature for sure.
I can only guess that this scene made an impression on me, because in my dream there was a whale. A big, blue whale. And he had gaping holes in the exact same style for his eyes. I don't know what PART this thing played in my dream, but he was there. Hurm.
