For the last few years, my life seems to have been a series of coincidences. The latest coincidence involved seeing someone I know from the Northern Territory with his girlfriend at my work in Melbourne. He didn’t know I worked there, and had arrived on my floor by accident while looking for something completely different. It was the last day of the show (conveniently at a place just around the corner from my work) so I sent them to have a look.
This morning I was sitting on the tram, looked up, and saw Alberto’s girlfriend again — I was sitting behind the ticket machine and she was buying a ticket. I wasn’t even supposed to go to work today — I was called in to start at 8:30, which is also unusual because the store doesn’t open until 9:30.
It reminds me of I Heart Huckabees, which I watched on DVD yesterday. I didn’t know anything at all about this film, yet coincidentally it’s theories of the universe and existentialism are what I’m exploring in my artwork at the minute. Weird stuff.
I really enjoyed the film. Pity David O. Russell seems like such a tool. (NSFW)
