Went to Mulholland Drive yesterday. Quite the view, I loved it. Click photo to see it on Flickr.

Like millions of others, I snagged my own vanity URL at Facebook Friday night. I had planned to be there right at the beginning and try to snag just “zachary” but I ended up forgetting about it until it was too late. I knew I’d have no problem getting my usual username, but I thought it would be neat to just have my first name. No luck there—congratulations Zach McNaney! I ended up with my default:

So I read on London’s Times Online (via NPR) that a woman who quite luckily missed her flight on the Air France 447 Flight was killed in a car accident just eight days after she would have died in the plane crash.

This kinda reminds me of the movie Final Destination, where the main character has a vision that his plane will crash and gets off the plane at the last second with several of his friends. The plane crashes just as it had in his vision, except he and his friends survive. As the rest of the movie pans out, his friends slowly die in strange accidents in the order they would have died on the plane. The idea of the movie is that you can’t cheat death. If the universe decides it’s time for you to die, you will die.

I just thought it was odd.
