Re: weirdness

There is a reason for it. Once you have come across something, it becomes a trigger factor for a time. Whereas previously you would not have paid attention to a mention of whatever it is, with the trigger factor you pick up on it. It's all part of a psychological phenomenon called "selective attention". It's not that it wasn't there before, it's just that you didn't notice.
