the world is wild as an old wife's tale
This kind of thing never actually happens.
I don't watch American Idol... I caught some of it last year, when my suitemate was watching it, but I've never before now turned it on myself. But it's been a long (though nice) day, and I was ready to have some veg time before getting down to the grueling business of watching Alias at 9. So I turned it on. As most people in the country probably know far better than I do, they're in the audition phase right now. Watching the names and faces go by, I thought idly, "I wonder if I'll see anyone I know."
Not two minutes later, I looked up and saw Karl Roberts, one of my brother's best friends from high school. No joke. It was SO WEIRD. The one 20-minute slot when I'm actually watching the show, and there's someone I know. Craziness I tell you.
And now comes Alias.
