I don't mean that I bill people for trips to Jamaica when I'm supposed to be looking for their cats, or that I routinely find disembodied heads slowly revolving on turntables. I just mean that my life is always filled with odd little coincidences that are all interrelated.
And now, some completely unrelated random moments:
My children want to write a fan letter to Sean Bean that says "Dear Mr. Bean (even at this they cackle wildly),
Please have lots of children and name them Green, String, Kidney, Wax, Scarlet Runner, and Garbanzo."
This slays them.
They can't decide whether it's funnier to refer to him as Shon Bon or Seen Been.

I love the film Tomb Raider and am embarrassed to admit it.

I wrote a scene in my novel only to find that I had already written the exact same scene about 40 pages back and somehow forgotten about it. At least I'm consistent.

My slimy politician's name has been changed to Leon Sphecter.

Did you know that there was a Battle of Sphacteria? I bet they could have ended it with a huge antibiotic suppository.

The Island of Lesbos is said to be covered with over 11 million olive trees. That seems like a lot of trees to me.
I can never hear of the Isle of Lesbos without thinking of Jeff.

Mollusc has had a major motion picture character named after her.

Did I post this already?

That's funny about your novel writing. Once I bought a book that I already owned. Several times I have gotten into a good book and suddenly realized that I've already read it. Yikes, I scare myself!
Mollusc's real name is Beowulf? Or Grendel? Wait, what?
OMG, I love that cat video!! My BIL sent that to me and I was laughing so hysterically!
I love your kids letter idea. SEan Bean has a sweet name.
