This is why I never take headphones or sleep masks off

On my way to the library before work today, a woman walking with a cane came across the intersection perpendicularly to where I was waiting to cross. She looked like she was saying something to me, so I popped out a headphone to be sure. She seemed to have stopped speaking, almost seemed to be waiting for my response, so I said something noncommital. I asked if she was cold, ha ha, it's cold outside, etc. (Actually, though it might just be that I've traded jeans for corduroys, it feels almost balmy out.)

Her response: "I don't feel cold because I've had so many strokes."

o.O???

Earphone went right back in and I all but ran across the street. What was I thinking? NEVER ENGAGE!

This is something dream-me took to an illogical extreme in my mid-morning dream. ( It features Christopher Lee but was not technically a nightmare. Who knew that was possible? )

Oh, eh, FYI?

We have ourselves a May Movie for 2011.

If you have complaints to make, you may make them now, but you must realize that a) there is no negotiating with THE MAY MOVIE, and b) dude, you have a year plus at this point in which this could easily not happen, so chillax. (That's what I hear the kids are saying these days. The cool ones. That don't hang out with vampires.) I mean, they already moved the date once...

In fact, if the dates in that article remain accurate, we have the next two May Movies beyond this year.

For those of you wondering what this year's May Movie will be (a reasonable question given that it's happening much more soon and more definitely than these other movies), I say to you: Uh, DUH!?!?
