Over the last few days I have had some very odd things happen. It all started on January 13th, last Tuesday.
There are two blogs that I read everyday: Joseph Mallozzi’s and John Scalzi’s. Both are writers; Joe for Stargate and John, science fiction novels. Joe lives in Vancouver. John lives in Ohio. So, on Tuesday I was checking in with Joe’s blog and the first line says that he’s meeting John for dinner. Wait a minute! John Scalzi is in Vancouver….cool! I then go to John’s blog where he has posted a picture he took from his hotel room of downtown Vancouver asking his readers to guess where he was. As I was reading the guesses that had been made so far, my phone rings. I glance at my call display and it’s says: 234-567-8900, and is from Ohio. First of all that is a pretty odd phone number….but for it to come in while I’m reading the blog of one of my favourite authors who lives in Ohio but was in Vancouver at the moment, seemed a bit spooky!
Then yesterday (Sunday), I was out running errands. I always glance at license plates and the very first one I noticed had the letters “das”. Well, das is a major commenter on Joe’s blog…and one who’s comments I always enjoy….so of course I immediately thought of her. Then a few blocks later the car in front of me has a vanity plate “wolfmn”. I did a double take on it because another commenter from Joe’s blog is wolfenm…..my online world seems to be colliding with the real world!
Then today, I was working on my laptop. As I was opening a new Word document, I was thinking ‘gotta remember to change this to landscape’. Once it was open, it was landscape…..they always open in portrait, except for that one! Every other new one after that was portrait…..it was a bit spooky again!
Can’t wait to see what’s next!
