Currently Listening Viva La Vida By Coldplay The Escapist (hidden track) see related

I was at the hospital with my mother earlier today as she needed to get a check up done and as I was sitting in the waiting room minding my own business, reading an Entertainment Weekly and listening to my iPod (specifically Andy Skib's debut album "To Have Heroes" - out on CDBaby now, baby!) the funniest yet oddest thing happened to me which is why I am sharing it with you all now.

This older woman, I assume was a nurse kept calling out a lady named Alice. I turned towards her as she stood beside an older man sitting in a chair avidly watching the latest sports news on the TV. I turned back to my magazine as it wasn't any of my business and in the background of Andy's voice, I could hear the nurse's voice getting screechier and louder. Then she shouted, "excuse me! Are you Alice?" I looked around and then stared at the old man who appeared to have mustard stains on his Blue Jays t-shirt, turning back to the nurse and said very softly and awkwardly, "No."

I really wanted to say, "seriously lady - do I look like an Alice?"

That's all I wanted to share. I thought it was really funny, especially when I do the nurse's voice to my sister. She cracks up everytime. You'd think the nurse would have figured out by the second call that I wasn't Alice.

By the way, I got a MySpace page as well...just to get in on the phenomenon. I know - a little too late, right?
