Something weird happened today. I’d been taking pictures all day, turning my camera on and off with nothing unusual. Then at one point, I turned on my camera to take a picture and there was a digital countdown that took up the entire screen, going from 15:00:00 to 14:59:59 and down. It only flashed on my screen for 2 seconds because I’d pressed another button before realizing something unusual had happened, and the countdown disappeared and my camera went to normal viewfinder mode.
that’s never happened before. what was that? a 15 hour countdown? what was it doing on my camera? i looked at my watch. it was a little after 3:40pm. what’s supposed to happen just before 7am tomorrow? or did i misread it and it was actually a 14 day countdown? that would mean oct 3rd. what’s going to happen on oct 3rd? i got kind of scared. i hope it’s not some donnie darko thing where a plane is going to fall on me.
which reminds me, this morning when i first got up, i was standing on the balcony looking at the cloud cover and i could hear a seaplane droning somewhere above, but i couldn’t see it. i briefly wondered what would happen if a plane crashed into my building. i hope these two things (the thought and the weird 15 hour countdown on my camera) aren’t any kind of alternate reality blips foretelling impending disaster. tomorrow is a 22 day, and 22 days are portals.
