Anyone ever have those weird coincidences- when they're thinking about something then something significant to what you were thinking about happens? Anyway:

I rewatched the film Donnie Darko yesterday, I haven't watched it in months- and today, still on a philosophical high from watching the film- I was reading about the film, and thinking about it- and I thought how something should happen to get the film more recognition- and I remembered how Harry- the guy from aintitcool.com was obsessed in getting the film made. Then I was thinking they should re-release- because the UK didn't get a theatrical release. Then a few minutes later I went on to aintitcool.com and it's the first article on the list- Donnie Darko re-release!

Stuff like this has happened to me before- like when I watch a relatively unknown film then a remake is announced. Creepy.

Well -ahem- another story about Saturday when I saw Genevieve speak at a home show, she was answering a question and said the word "about" only it came out "aboot" like it always does and I whispered to my friend "She sounds Canadian." and right after I said that she goes "'Aboot?' You can tell I'm not really from New York."

yah okay it was the first thing that popped into my head

How long would Different Strokes have lasted if Gary Coleman were Canadian?
