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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
