Freaky Fridays...or history repeating itself while life imitates art...

I wrote a draft about the freaky Fridays that I have witnessed during the past couple of weeks, and while I thought about how the written word might have an effect on the people and their behaviour, just having mentioned this proved to be a good thing, since that day, the 24th of September, wasn't so freaky after all.
Or maybe it was just another Friday, and the person's power to manipulate others in order to turn the Friday freaky for the rest of us had started to wane.

Could it be that just starting to write about how that Friday could hopefully turn into a normal Friday again had the effect that I had hoped for?
Well, at least it was good to have experienced a normal Friday again, even an ordinary one, and so I shall use this further in the coming days.
The pen is mightier than the sword, I keep reminding myself, but so far I haven't even started to take notes...
So writing about the mildly strange things that have happened over the past couple of weeks, mainly on Fridays, which seems funny, might have some sort of effect on me and my peers, and if so, it will maybe prove that life imitates art.

Didn't Umberto Eco mention something similar in Foucault's Pendulum?
Guess it's time to read it again...and to watch what I write... :o)

Reading: C. G. Jung followed by Margaret Atwood
Music: very varied these days, have just discovered "As tall as lions", too bad they split up...
