Keanu Reeves said it best

You ever have those times where something so bizarre happens, all you can say is "whoah?" This last week was chock full of them, at least one a day, and it kind of freaked me out, but in a good way.

Monday morning, i put on a t-shirt that has a cartoon owl on it saying "who's dat?" I then sat down at my computer to check my email, and had received a reply to an email i sent at least a month ago with the subject "who's dat?" (i was trying to identify an email address of someone who helped me out with my ipod offers.) It just struck me as weird at the time, because it's not a term i use a lot, and i had completely forgotten about sending the email.

On tuesday, we had lunch at northern lights. Somehow the conversation ended up on the topic of braile, with zieak saying "our fingertips are not sensitive to braile like a blind persons." After work, we went on our weekly salvation army perusal, and zieak opened a childrens book that was in the free pile. On the page was a huge color picture of a spider on a page of braile... "if spiders could read braile..." was the caption. Yeah, i know, weird.

Wednesday morning, i was catching up on some friends blogs, and noticed that karna had not updated since saying she was leaving in so many days. So i texted her, asking if she had left yet. She replied with "Weird. I was just composing a text to you when i got this!" She was in hawaii at the time.

Thursday comes along, and zieak and i decide to sit down and watch a few episodes of family guy. Now, the night before he had posted a blog post about this picture of the general lee from dukes of hazzard. We had searched for the image online instead of just scanning it from the magazine, and i had extra access to their site as a subscriber. Anyways, family guy. This episode we're watching involves the griffins having to relocate to the deep south because someone wants to kill the son. Peter, the father, and Brian, the dog, get their hands on none other than the general lee, and drive it around the entire episode. Zieak and i looked at each other with a look that we were becoming very accustomed to.

Friday night we were both looking to get drunk. We'd both had a hard week at work, and even though he had to "work" as the dj at the harbor, we were looking forward to having a few and socializing. Earlier in the day, i had heard lou reed's "take a walk on the wild side" on kfsk. I was really surprised, considering the second verse talks about candy not losing her head, even when giving head. So i mentioned it to zieak as he was downloading new music, and he grabbed that one too. We arrived at the bar a little early to have a drink together before he started, and the table next to us had obviously been drinking for quite awhile. There were at least four guys, all of which were loud, and julie. She said something about the dj arriving, and one of the guys goes "you got that song by dire straights.... take a walk on the wild side?" with all the other guys going "yeah, yeah, dire straights! doo doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo!" *Cue THAT look.* I promptly corrected the group on the artist, and then rushed to the bar to grab a napkin to start jotting down all of these occurances. I knew i had the makings of a blog post.
