I just started watching The Wire, in which there is a character named Bubbles. at the same time, I’m reading Two Serious Ladies. partway through the story, at the end so it overlaps with my first viewings of The Wire, one of the characters starts referring to one of the ladies’ friends as Bubbles. I try finding commonalities between the two characters, stories.

I can tell I’m going to finish my book on one of my subway rides yesterday, so I dig around a box in the apartment looking for something new, landing on Invisible Man, which I’ve always meant to read. later on, someone is talking about works of fiction that go on for a good two-hundred pages longer than they should. example? Invisible Man. I am quite emphatic in my “i just started reading that today!” not at all bothered that I’ve just started a book that is a classic representation of books that are too long.

I probably find such coincidences more interesting or meaningful than they actually are.
