See, I've been watching this new show White Collar. It's good. (Not quite hitting Leverage standards, but perfectly acceptable)
I'm also reading my local library's copy of the original text of On the Road.
These are not two things that would ordinarily connect themselves. But then something clicked in my head and I realised that the name 'Neal Caffrey' (main character of White Collar) is vaguely similar to 'Neal Cassady' (vitally important to On the Road, what with the fact that he basically was Dean Moriarty).
I have no idea if this has any significance to anything, or what that significance might be. But sometimes, I really, really hate the fact that I have a very good memory for useless information, and the fact that I make these insanely random connections on a fairly frequent basis.
(One time, I think it must have been after browsing TVTropes, I came to the realisation that Schindler's List is effectively Voldemort vs. Qui-Gon Jinn.... actually, stuff like that happens a lot... damn you, Actor Rule and TVTropes in general!)
