But what do my coincidences mean?
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)

Looks like it went both ways, but without context who really knows.

Regardless of context, regardless of pressures, you don’t act like that at your job. Throwing stuff or physically assaulting your staff isn’t acceptable in an office job, so why would it be on a film set?

Three Kings and Spanking the Monkey are both solid works too. Why’s he a tool? He’s always sounded intelligent enough in interviews and commentaries…
