Sometimes I feel like I'm in a movie; not one of those existential movies where random shit happens, but a highly scripted movie, where coincidence is used to move the plot along.

The following is all true:

After yesterday's encounter with the pretty weekend newscaster, and our business card exchange, I felt pretty good; probably why I posted a note here. So, this morning, after about a good month-and-a half, I decdided to do a sit-down bagel and lox and Sunday NYT solo breakfast at the only deli in Atlanta that is actually a real deli, complete with NY Jews that know about bagels and cream cheese and lox and such. As a Goy, I just LOVE a good jewish deli.

So, there I am, reading my paper and eating my bagel with "belly lox" when, across the dining room, THERE SHE IS, WITH A GUY!!!!

This small world of mine just got smaller. The boyfriend/husband thing kinda took the wind out of my sails, but it was weird, almost like destiny. Seriously, I haven't been to this deli in soooooo long; and there she was. Oy!!

Whatever. I'll send her an e-mail tomorrow just to say "thanks for your card," keep it cool. Hey, like anyone, maybe she's keeping her options open. Just be yourself, right? Don't burn bridges, right? You never know, right? It is a movie, after all.
