#46 - Maybe We Don't Want To Be Found

...maybe we don't want you tracking us down

That title has nothing to do with what I am about to talk about, but I am kind of nuts about that song right now. Actually, the song as a whole is kind of mediocre but the chorus playing on repeat in my brain.

ANYWAY, what this is really about is that I just watched Juno illegally on the internet and there were two (2) strange coincidences in it.

1. I do this thing where I call my best friend about 12 different nickname variations and a lot of them have the initials L.B. (they all come from the longest form of her name, Luanna Banana) and I was thinking that, in the interest of saving time, I should maybe add L.B. to the list except that it reminds me of liquor board stores so I can't and... I have forgotten where I am going with this. Wait! I remember! So I was thinking of calling a person L.B. and how probably that would be a totally plausible thing to call someone in a place with privatized liquor retailing and I wondered if there are any fictional characters named that and then, literally less than 36 hours later, I watched Juno and there WAS!

2. When I was in grade nine I used to walk home from school with my friend Campbell and for some reason I used to get kind of crazy and theatrical and sometimes I would sing songs really loudly outside my house while Campbell looked on, embarrassed and trying to leave. Anyway, my favorite song to sing in these circumstances was I'm Sticking With You, which is the only Velvet Underground song I can even name, let alone sing from beginning to end, and for some reason I was reminded of the a few days ago (weeks, maybe? Does anyone happen to remember?) and I started singing it (I am always in public when I do these things. Why?) and then , mere days (or possibly weeks) later, there it was smack dab in the middle of Juno.

Strange, no?

I have to say, even though it was almost too clever (even the craft services company on that movie had a cute name: T.V. Dinners, good grief), and I kind of wanted to not like it (because I am just contrary like that sometimes, have you noticed?), I couldn't. I couldn't not like it. I was totally suckered by the whole wise-cracking-teenager-hamburger-phone-indie-music shebang. Also, it reminded me how much I: a) want to be Allison Janney when I grow up, and b) love orange Tic-Tacs.

Long, rambling post brought to you by: the fact that it is 2 o'clock in the morning. I am even procrastinating sleep now.


P.S. Thoughts on the new colours? I am to bored to go back to green.
