off-beat and fullcircle

today was a strange day. for starters, i'm trying to readjust to my 'normal' life after being gone in Michigan's 'Up North' (Petosky) on a film shoot for the first half of the week ('the body of anna williams,' dir. bub kuns...you've probably never heard of it...). things got stranger when i saw the assistant director, who lives in california, at kinkos here in Grand Rapids. she was shipping the box of walkie-talkies that i'd been in charge of back to california. i never thought i'd see her or that battered box again in my life. strange. i was at kinkos getting my passport photos taken. did you know you aren't allowed to show teeth in a passport photo? stranger still. and then my roommate and i were drinking hot chocolate on the pearl street bridge and a bum walked up to my roommate and told described her as stationary, but 'that girl over there' (pointing a grimy finger toward me on the other side of the bridge) has a lot of energy surrounding her. okay. strange enough even as a stand-alone incident. but it gets worse. my roommate apparently ran into this same bum near the blockbuster by our house just a few hours after he made conversation with her on the bridge. he stopped her to talk again, leading off with, 'hey...didn't i just talk to you on the bridge?!?!' highly unusual, highly strange. off-beat and full-circle.

happy anniversary, t & m.
