So lately very strange coincidences have been happening to me. I'll have a conversation or read about something and then things (sometimes more than one) will happen that reference it. Couple of examples:
1) I'm at work (graphic designer at a print shop) and my back starts to hurt so my co-worker and I start discussing the technique of crossing your arms and getting someone else to lift you up from behind. This makes your back feel great because it supposedly re-aligns your spine. Anyway, I go home from work and turn on the TV - Home Improvement is on. Almost immediately Tim and Al start talking about this exact technique.
2) I see the movie Vanilla Sky for the first time and think it's a great movie. I go on MSN Messenger right after watching it and someone on my list has changed their name to a line from the movie - "She is the saddest woman to ever hold a cocktail" (or something like that). We hadn't discussed the movie at all before this, and the last time I talked to this person was honestly at least a month ago.
3) After watching Vanilla Sky I start reading about it on the internet. Mostly interviews with Cameron Crowe (the director) and Tom Cruise. Both mentioned Magnolia numerous times in the interviews. I go home from a day of surfing the net at work
and my roommate has Magnolia downloaded (er.... rented
)and asks me if I want to watch it. Again, we didn't talk about it beforehand and he didn't see Vanilla Sky so there was no connection there. Also, at this point I'm already questioning all these coincidences but then I watch Magnolia and it's ABOUT strange coincidences!! Ah!
AM I just tripping or is this stuff even remotely odd??
