It's a small world.

I decide that, even though I have already found an apartment (very nice, very cute), I should maintain the search, just to “see what’s out there”. I wake up early, head to the old city, and wander around through the brisk morning air. I find the place, ring the bell, and introduce myself to the man with the red hair and the tinge of an Irish accent. As with everyone I meet here, I ask “so why are you moving”. Got job in DC. “Doing what?”. World Bank. This banter goes back and forth for about 30 seconds until we hit the goldmine. It turns out that this guy lived in LA, went to Rand, and was in the same program as a friend of mine and knew her. Weird. Later that day I’m watching Colbert and see a band “OK GO”. I send the link to their hilarious treadmill video to another friend to alert her. She informs me that she went to school with the lead singer and sees him quite frequently. All I can say…..it’s a small world.
