Wild.<\/p>\n
I don’t watch much TV. I really don’t. Movies, videos, I watch my fair
\nshare. But ever since I got a modem, TV hasn’t held nearly the appeal for
\nme. I mean, why sit passively and watch something when you can interact?
\n Why view a projection of the world when you can be involved in the real
\nthing? Okay, okay, so maybe the Internet isn’t reality, but it’s closer.
\n And, in my eyes, more entertaining.<\/p>\n
I went downstairs just now to get some juice to keep me from snoozing over my
\nGreek translations. After I poured myself some apple juice, I discovered the
\nbaggie with a few crumbs left over from the brownies last night. Instead of
\nreturning immediately upstairs, I sat down at the kitchen table and scooped
\nthe brownie remnants into my mouth, leaving the juice for later. I like
\napple juice, and I like brownies, but not simultanously. This is why I
\npicked up a magazine with three of the cast members of the TV show “Friends”
\nplastered across the front. I figured since I never actually watch the show,
\nI might as well read up on it to see what the big deal is all about.<\/p>\n
Well, okay, never is too strong a word. I saw about 60 seconds of one
\nepisode once several months ago. Then when I was in Nebraska this January, I
\nwatched perhaps half an episode.<\/p>\n
As I read the article, it talked about the show and then discussed three
\nscenes in detail. Was I ever surprised to realize I’d seen two of them. One
\nof them had a direct quote from the show… the one I’d seen one minute of.<\/p>\n
I dunno. It’s things like that that make me do a double take on life. I
\nhear mathamaticians call coincidences like that “clumping.” Like a jar full
\nof jelly beans. At least, that was the analogy I heard.<\/p>\n
It’s kinda like another experience. I’ve only seen “Saved by the Bell”
\ntwice. The same episode both times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
