Synchronicity
Miller: A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
Otto: You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?
You might recognize this dialogue from the 80's cult classic, "Repo Man". The funny thing is later on in the movie, another character is at a pay phone outside a restaurant and you can see the sign in the window advertising a "Plate of Shrimp" special. Completely intentional, of course.
I have a friend who is fascinated by this stuff, which he calls "synchronicities". Seems he's constantly experiencing this strange cosmic unconsciousness. I had one last night while messing with my blog settings. My son was watching "Family Guy" - the episode where "Death" sprains his ankle and Peter has to perform his duties for him, namely, kill the cast of "Dawson's Creek". The time setting function lists cities that are within your desired time zone. One of the cities listed is Dawson Creek. Oooooweeeeoooooooooooo.
