Wow. The NBA season doesn't even start until around Halloween, and they're already talking about the free agent market for next year.

I was on this detour that took me through a neighborhood I was never aware of before. Turning the corner among all these little brand-new-looking houses with perfectly manicured lawns surrounded by banks of loathsome "Stella D'Oro" Daylilies I saw this one guy. He was dressed in a wife-beater, baggy shorts, knee socks and steel-toed boots with a cowboy hat. He had a raggedy old backpack on as well. He had a sledgehammer in each hand and was bouncing a ping-pong ball very carefully on the hammers.

Probably a kung-fu master.
So, last night I got pwned by my phone during a bike-ride. And I'm still not sure how it happened. Okay, so it's not terribly late. Maybe 11pm. I'm stoned out my gourd from four hours of hanging out with the guru. Decide to go for a bike ride to get the blood flowing. It's one of those nights that is dead quiet, in terms of other life. It was a hot day. Perhaps that's why? No people whatsoever. Not even any cars. No pet sounds or night birds. Not even insects. A partly cloudy night sky as I'm peddling through a suburban neighborhood, when suddenly, I begin to hear this eerie music. It sounds vaguely like it's coming from somewhere to my left, although it's hard to tell. I can't make out from any given house though. It seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere. It sounded kind of scf-fi or horror-tinged, and I'm seriously in stoner "OMG!"-mode at this strange tune seemingly in the night air around me as I pedal up a slightly inclined street.
Then I finally realized it was my phone.  I kept pedaling and took it out of my pocket to glance down and see what looked like it might be a YouTube video of what might be a tune from TV's Tales from the Crypt? I say that mainly because the logo I briefly glanced at looked like it might be the Crypt Keeper. But I only got a peek at it, as I was still on my bike.
It's STILL kind of weird though. Because I cannot find the song, or the link, or where the hell it came from on my phone. My phone isn't connected to my home internet, and I have never-ever downloaded so much as a single piece of music onto it. I looked at my phone history and recent pages twice, and could find no evidence of this eerie tune that was seriously fucking with my head on my short bicycle trip. I reopened emails to see if a site I might have visited (like Creepy.com) might have had some accompanying audio. NOTHING. So, kind of weird, kind of stupid events last night. Of course there's some rational explanation or moral (like don't smoke so much dope) involved, but it's sort of fun how the mind/senses can play tricks like that.
I also just realized I probably should have put this in the drugs thread instead of here.

Oh, I think that's a pretty good head-scratcher, Kobb.

I think I'll phone it in to George Noori tonight and see what he thinks.

They're having a special 25th anniversary showing of Jurassic Park at the theater. We're going to go see A Simple Favor instead, but I just can't wrap my brain around the fact that it's been 25 years since Jurassic Park was first released.

Huh. Today, at my father's address, I received a package from China. That I did not order. A series of cheap vinyl posters of Universal Monsters. I have checked likely avenues, and I have no idea where it came from. I sure didn't order it.

Have you checked with your contacts at the Chinese embassy?

That's happened to me, too, Choc, but the mystery package in my case was a copy of Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher.

We just got an e-mail from the administrators that we have a new drug-free workplace policy. This aroused comment, because every new hire is told upon being drug-tested for the first time that the workplace is drug-free. Quoth the administration, "Oh, it's always been a RULE. It just wasn't a POLICY before now."

WTF does this piece of shit even mean?
...especially when it's flying next to this?
Especially in this nest of Trumpery, I just couldn't decide whether they're kidding or not. |
