Lots of very odd things have been happening to me over the past couple of days, so I'm just gonna go ahead and assume it's all because of that solar flare.
In case you hadn't heard, a couple of days ago, a solar storm spewed out a blast of radiation at the Earth worrying people about its potential affect on high-flying aircraft, satellites, radio transmission and the power grid. Some distribution was noted but now the surge has subsided and the world can breathe a collective sigh of relief.
But, inexplicably, I experienced some of the weirdest shit in the past two days...
People have been staring at me for no reason. Really staring.
The price of a pound of Ronzoni pasta shot up to $1.69 at Publix and they seemed to be proud of it. They featured it at an aisle header.
There were about 8 or 9 roaches sitting on the walls of one of the resident's (at work) rooms (not the cleanest of facilities actually). The roaches there are common but the way they just all stood there and didn't move a muscle even when I approached. They were just staring at me. Really staring.
Ric called me up and was an obnoxious asshole, going on and on about his own desperate life and never once acknowledging he might be boring me to death. Oh wait, on second thought, this is normal.
Two Netflix DVDs in a row were gummy/smudged on the shiny side and, sure enough, caused me trouble when trying to play them. Um, actually, this is becoming more common with Netflix lately.
My boss emailed asking me a condescendingly rhetorical question as if I were a 5 year old caught doing "a bad thing". Because of another employee's flub. Ouch, I thought we were allies?
My car CD player unexpectedly just ejected the CD in it when I started the car up this morning.
People are showing me their penises. Accidentally, of course. But they were really big so it was hard to ignore staring at them. Really staring.
2 Ambien + 2 Benedryls + 6 Beers = I'm following the solar flare on its journey through space.
"Yup, I been drinkin' again." Remember that quote from GTA III, well oddly, playing GTA IV this week, I'm able to drive cars fairly well...with a keyboard damn it!
People are still staring at me for no reason. Really staring.
