It's Like What Happens When The Gremlins Get Wet

I was supposed to measure out enough pasta for 3 people.  I lost my concentration when I was pouring the noodles into the boiling water, so now we'll be eating this for the next 5 days, because when those things hit the water, they expand and explode like the goddamn gremlins.  At least it's good, though.  I wish I could remember what it was that distracted me.  And why boiling water and hot steam apparently weren't enough to keep me focused.  ADD, you guys.
