9 May
This morning I got up about an hour late, but since I give myself so much time before leaving the house, that's not really a huge big deal, my point is that I turned on the Today Show and all that was left of "Where in the World is (huh) Matt Lauer" was the clue his gives for where he will be the next day, and he said, "I wrote this down so I would get this right, 'It's like Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings,'" and everyone looked wildly confused, but I leapt up and started singing like a loon,
"It's like Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings, or, or this place!
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me..."
I know where Matt is going! See, being a musical comedy fan is useful! Occasionally.
The strangest thing happened the other day.
I woke up, got up, turned on the computer as I always do, then puttered about, not paying any attention to it. Suddenly, I heard an odd noise coming from the computer, and I looked up, and there was a Blair Witch Project screensaver on, one that I have never used, and particularly never used on this computer, which I didn't even own when the movie was out.
Then I sat down and fired up the browser and noticed that the default font was different, and then it occurred to me that I was awfully near the floor, and my chair had been adjusted downward.
Now who, may I ask, crept in while I was sleeping, adjusted my chair, turned on the computer, changed my screensaver and my default font, turned off the computer and crept back into the night, satisfied at a job well done?
Strangest thing that happened a couple of weeks ago, I was in the kitchen and I could see the living room out of the corner of my eye, and I was saying hi to the kitties, "Hi Monty, hi Eggs, hi Balders, hi Milo," because I could see all four of them sitting in various spots. Then I realized and turned my head, and Milo wasn't really there, but I did see him out of the corner of my eye, just for a minute.
I'm so glad that he was visiting.
Strange thing just now, I got out of the shower and walked towards Baldrick, who was looking at me with big eyes and gave a teeny little meow, so I said, as I am wont to do, "Hey, Squeak," at the exact same moment as one shopping cart said to another in the commercial on the TV, "Hey, Squeaks!" I laughed for five minutes.
What's the most inexplicable thing that ever happened to you?
And again, no Lenten entries (there are tons more to come, trust me!), instead it's another journal that I read from word one and have finally caught up with, Speaking Confidentially, possibly the only thing I have ever read that makes me feel not so much like the children's book expert that I know perfectly well that I am, but like an absolute beginner. Lisa could make the most hardened anti-reader love reading, with her enthusiasm. Unfortunately, this mythical anti-reader would have to read her journal to learn to love reading, so that probably won't happen, she's probably preaching to the choir, but still.
Did I have a point? I cannot remember, and now the fact that I got up an hour late is starting to matter. Anyway, Lisa is great, it's a great journal, and those damn initials start to not be so annoying after a bit, just give them time, though I still get confused over whether someone is a child or an adult, a man or a woman, but I have figured out this basic key: If she talks about having sex with it, it's her husband, if she calls it names, it's her sister, if she complains about it, it's her mother.
Use and enjoy!
