Ok as the title says today was a strange one...
I woke up pretty early today (6.35am) because of my job and I wanted to sneak in a quick shower before I went. So I was on the tube and all was fine, I was reading my Japanese book on Kanji when I noticed out of the corner of my eye something yellow. When I turned I saw four guys, no wait, four guys with turbins dressed in Ghostbuster uniforms (I swear to God), just so I knew I wasn't seeing things I took alittle movie with my phone to show the guys at work. The fact that there were four guys at 7am on the tube dressed as Ghostbusters (with the packs and everything) was funny enough, but with turbins, I had to use the phone...
So today at work everything was going as normal, I showed my video and so fourth when suddenly we hear a seagull making squaking noises, I've heard it many times before, once I even witnessed a seagull attack a guy, like actually swooping down on him, it caused the guy to run into a shop. Anyway the weird thing was, it was another attack! This time on a group of young girls and I swear it was by the same seagull...
Onto more animal related stuff, we had a customer come in with not a dog, not even a cat, but a parrot on her shoulder! I've never seen anything like it and neither did anyone else, it had on a little harness on it and everything, so unique and yet so odd, I of course used my camera once more. Oh and on my way to eat out for lunch I passed a guy who was out walking his ferret, with also a safety harness (true as well)....☺
And now we move onto celebrities! Ok maybe their not as well know around the world, but it was still surprising considering we've already had Hindu Ghostbusters, psycho seagull, parrot woman and ferret man. The first one was a guy named Jarvis Cocker, he is quite famous in the UK, mainly for his band Pulp which was a 'key player' in the britpop movement of the 90s (some wikipedia here
), I was quite surprised, didn't ask for his autograph because...meh, but still. But these next two I really cared about, it was the lead guitarist/singer and the bass player from Electric Eel Shock! Might not have heard of them, but they're an awesome underground Japanese rock/metal band, I went to one of their shows last year (which was awesome), I was stunned, but not stunned enough to whip out the phone although they weren't looking (and it wasn't till afterward my colleage asked me why I didn't take a picture with them that I realised my error ) buuuut I did get an autograph and a good one too, he (guitarist/singer) drew me a little picture 
, very nice guys.
Ok so thats Hindu Ghostbusters, psycho seagull, parrot woman, ferret man, Jarvis Cocker and Electric Eel Shock, count as a weird day to you?
So next time you go out, make sure you have something that takes video and/or photos, you never know whats out there.
Jya ne! :wave:
