Radar

[chanaleh]

You never realize just how many Cheddar-yellow parkas there are around town until you know one person who owns one.

Much like when navrins first got his Outback -- which, more to the point, was when we first started dating -- and suddenly I was seeing a dozen of them an hour. Because suddenly they were on my radar.

I am feeling that way right now with sea-green honda civic hatchbacks.

Are you tired, run-down, listless? Do you poop out at parties? Are you unpopular? Well, the answer to all your questions is in this little bottle. Vitameatavegemin!

"but with every jeep i see
my broken heart still skips a beat
i guess its just my stupid luck
that all of boston drives that same black fucking truck"

except for me this Dresden Dolls song applies to silver classic jeeps. there's someone who keeps parking one 'round the corner from my apartment... luckily, it mostly just makes me smile.

Hee...beat me to it!

A few years back I was taking a redeye flight with Janet with a stopover in Chicago at around 3am. We got separated in the airport bookstore when we got off the plane to stretch our legs.

After I found her and put my arm around her to ask what she was browsing, the OTHER petite curly-haired blonde woman in a green jacket in the store took a lot of convincing before she believed I wasn't some literate pervert looking for cheap thrills. :)

That happens with all sorts of things. E.g., after I went to Duluth for Christmas one year, I suddenly started noticing Duluth in the news all the time, when I had never heard of the place before. Sometimes it feels like someone is playing with my head -- like the Matrix is intentionally trickling in new ideas or something. :-)
