I wonder what random thing is going to happen to me in May.
Yesterday, my friend Jena sent me a link to an article about how The Simpsons will no longer be putting out old seasons on discs. That news comes after seasons 1-17 and 20 were released. Add to those the Simpsons movie and I have an entire shelf dedicated to the folks of Springfield:
But take a close look at the destiny here. I don’t just have a shelf devoted to Simpsons DVDs/blu-rays, I have exactly a shelf of them. A season 18 collection would seriously stress my organizational mind. So while it is sad for anything Simpsons to go away, I’m not terribly heartbroken at this one. After all, some people have it worse:
Last month, the randomness involved dinner with a friend, Twitter and a Metro ride.
I was in D.C. and my friend told me about a conversation she had where the other party expressed that her goals were not good enough and that she could/should be doing something different. I told her about this line I had heard recently: “Don’t yuck someone else’s yum.”
That came from a Nats Twitter friend I had interacted with a bunch, but never actually met in person.
After dinner, I got on the Metro to go home, and tweeted about a guy in my car:
There’s a guy on my Metro train saying things like “Pelosi said get the bill drafted” into his phone and I want to believe it’s a fake convo

I got a few responses, but one was from that very same Nats Twitter friend. She was on the Metro too, and it turned out, on the very same train:
@vandygirl1998 haha ok I’m right behind you in car two

What are the chances I mention someone I’ve never met, and then an hour later meet them?
Maybe I should incorporate this into my dating strategy.
