I couldn't stop yawning whilst learning the ten or so characters containing the primitive 'lack'.  Is anyone else having extra responses when visualising?

I yawned a lot. It was somewhat annoying. Especially during the kanji for soft.

Imagine when you're almost done and at the tiger primitive.

"Ah Tigaa, Tigaa, JirreTigaa"

Ok, I just pictured Tony the Tiger or the tiger from the Exxon comercials, but that line is still in my head sometimes.

There's this thing about yawning which is communicative, I guess if you imagine someone yawning it might induce the same response in you.. but personally no, didn't affect me smile

I love that character because it's easy for me. I use the image of Grampa Simpson, because he's notorious for sleeping out of nowhere.
