magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

this afternoon stef and i were eating lunch outside of our favourite falafel place. there was a news crew from one of the local tv stations shooting just up the street, some story about revitalization, and we thought we might be in the background on the news. of course it's not quite reality tv, but i'll get to that.

back home i looked up the tv station's website, to see if i could find out when the story would be airing. as i typed 'eyewitness...' into my web browser a bookmark that i had long forgotten about came up: eyeshot.net. which i decided to go back and look at. on the front page was info about, and a link to the website of one miss lola belle.

lola is the bartender on the new nbc reality show 'the restaurant'. i poked around her site, followed a few of her links, got distracted by something else. i taped 'the restaurant' the other night, but haven't watched it because i figured stef would be interested, since she works in the industry.

tonight i got a message from shannon, asking if i was on friendster. which, like eyeshot, is something i spent a few days with some months back and haven't looked at since. so i logged back in, and it seems a lot more people that i sort of know have joined. i clicked through a few connections and came to dylan, who was on ehp in rome with me the year before last.

and get this, dylan is apparently also on 'the restaurant'. weirdness.
