This can't be coincidence.

Observe the following comment made on The New York Times' movie site about the film Garden State:

hoyabriguy said: "Zach Braff and Natalie Portman offer strong and convincing performances as quirky 20-somethings trying to find their way in that anxious time between graduating from college and settling down. Call it existential angst for the 'Saved by the Bell' generation."

You may recall a few posts ago I mentioned Garden State. I also recently brought up Saved by the Bell. This combination of recent posts by a random movie commenter is no coincidence. It is a cosmic alignment with ramifications that could potentially affect the space/time continuum and drastically alter the very fabric of the universe. Here's my conclusion:

I am the solution to The DaVinci Code.

Thank you and good night.

hey tim, dinner with your parents was great. i heard while there that your time in chicago is almost at an end...how are you feeling about that? and truly the most important question...will your blog continue on from school?
In other news, i got to see salt and light and oh jonah, including pictures of the cast. Let me just say all the baby tim stories now have a ring of truth in them. :) and your dad supported josh's memory of saturday mornings on the couch. so josh, you get all the credit because you were right. in fact, tim, it seems the idea of "manufactured memories" it equally shared between the two of you!
will i see you when you are home? if not, have fun back in college!

Why do we continue to post anonymously? Are we that lazy to consistently avoid the two minutes to set up our own post account? In fact, are we less lazy because we have adopted such a staunch and stalwart stance towards setting anything up? I would agree that we are.
Yeah, T, I'm sorry, but in out absence Mom and Dad have lost all restraint and are opening the usually reserved Ryder video library to all comers. Allyn's already seen Waiters and is rapidily moving through all other sonshine-type hits.
In short, I haven't heard from you aside from snide comments in the blog. Let's get back on the horse and start wasting time on IM. Honestly, this real world stuff is bogus. I would venture to say that Mom has been more frequent on IM.

My hypothesis is that YOU are "hoyabriguy", and you just want to further your own theories on Saved By the Bell unscrupulously. For shame, Tim. For shame.

Yes, it's true. The Mom person has been on IM more that Timmy Tapeworm, but that's mostly because it's the BEST place to find both of my offspring on any given day. And you still answer! Amazing!! Mom

Allyn, it's true that my time in Chi-town is drawing to a close. I'm sad that I have to leave because I've enjoyed it so much, but it'll be good to see my friends again. And also, my savings account has seen better days. But don't worry, I won't stop blogging. It's too much fun.

That's great that you got to see our dorky musicals and my fat baby pictures. I'm swelling with pride at this very moment. And I'll try my best to get together when I'm in town. I got your digits today, so I'll give you a buzz.

To the other responders: you're cool, but Allyn asked me questions. So she gets responses. And that's that.
