OK so remember I went to the Brooklyn Museum two weeks ago?? Well there was this one room with all these paintings of different New York buildings, skylines, etc. I randomly thought out loud about this documentary that someone, a few months ago, had told me about - Man on Wire. It is about Philippe Petit's high-wire walk between the twin towers back in 1974. He told me that it was the best documentary that he had ever seen. But I never bothered to watch it because that sounds BORING to me. And would also probably give me EXTREME ANXIETY. So that's why when I was in this random room full of paintings of buildings I said, "OMG, this reminds me of that documentary about that guy who tight-rope walks the Empire State Building." And my friends were like, "UH YOU'RE WEIRD. IT WAS THE TWIN TOWERS." Oops.
ANYWAYSSSSSS, so if it wasn't already unusual that I had brought up this documentary that I had never seen about this man I didn't know anything about - yesterday the New York Times published an article about the SAME MAN, Philippe Petit, planning to wire walk AGAIN!!!! The location is a huge secret but Petit revealed that it would be somewhere in MIDTOWN MANHATTAN. I'm guessing he's going to like..walk across Central Park or something.
NOT ONLY THAT, but then amigo Teduardo sent me a link to the Washington Post Peeps Show (BTW CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, REMIND ME TO MAKE A PEEP DIORAMA ABOUT NATIVE AMERICANS NEXT YEAR) - and guess what makes it into the top 40 entries of the Peep Diorama Contest. Not only once, but TWICE.
That's right, folks. TWO almost-winning entries about the SAME SUBJECT aka the subject that I WAS THINKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!??!!!!??
Tres, tres bizarre......
