The weirdest thing that happened to you today.
« on: February 10, 2007, 03:12:33 AM »
Okay the library can be just weird. 

I had a man come in looking for a book today. 

He didn't know the title and I got the impression he wanted the book the movie "The Bone Collector" was based on.  He was certain the actors were Will Smith and Lara Croft.

We cleared that up because it was, of course Denzel Washington. 

Please note that it took me sometime to extract the name of the movie and the real names of the actors involved. 

He kept refering to Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft throughout the conversation which continued.

He did not want the book the movie was based on. 

He wanted the book (title unknown) that was in the movie.  The prop that helped the characters in the movie get clues to the murders. 

I didn't know quite what to say or to do.  He said it was all right.  He was sure the book would be mentioned in the credits as it was an important part of the plot and he would get the title for me.

So he will get me the title of a prop book from a movie starring Lara Croft. 

Yep.

Any weird stuff in your life?

We went and had dinner at a Japanese sushi restaurant and I actually liked it.  And I do not, not, not like Japanese food and especially would never in a thousand years eat raw fish.  We had Miso soup (I'm not crazy about miso, but it was ok), and teriaki beef, which was pretty good and sticky white rice, which I love anyway and great potstickers, which are one of my favorite things.  What was very weird is that they served a green salad with it.

I've never knitted anything I could recognize when it was finished.  Actually, I've never finished anything, much to my family's relief.

Well, I'm not sure how weird this is, but  first, I was supposed to go to the cleaners to pick up Hubby's uniforms, but he went instead..... just picked up his car keys and went.... while I was folding laundry.  Then, while Hubby and I were napping, both cats came in and crawled under the covers, which they never do, and were playing between my feet.    Then as Hubby and I were discussing whether or not to get fast food for dinner,  while we were discussing burgers or subs, I cut up the chicken, peeled the taters and plugged in the deep fryer..... Guess what we had for dinner??   LOL!

PS, it was chicken strips and fries.

Cop stopped by to bring me my lawn chair that was in the trunk of his car.   He came in and said "You sure got fat".

He was talking to the cat. (Kitty's on a diet).

Maybe more goofy than weird. My son ran a 5K this morning and when it was over, there was a "tot trot" for the little kids. They divided the kids by age and started with two-year-olds. Imagine a pack of twelve or thirteen toddlers trying to run from one set of cones to another, 10 yards or so. I think three actually made it to the finish. Too cute.

One thing that kind of bugged, though. All the kids who participated in the tot trot got ribbons. Fine. The thing was, they all got a blue ribbon that had "First Place" printed on it. Well, no, if you didn't cross the finish line first, you didn't win. I mean, for the two- and three-year-olds, no matter, but this race had kids up to age eight. I should think that by that age, kids should be getting the idea that not everybody wins.
