There hasn't been a good synchronicity post on this blog for a while but on Wednesday the 26th, 2025 I woke up to the news that Michele Trachtenberg had passed which made me do a internal spit take. Why? Well, I was pretty sure I'd just been watching a really obscure show that she guest starred on called The Adventures of Pete and Pete before going to bed the night before. She's not in every episode of the show either but she was absolutely in the two-parter I'd watched right before going to turning in. This can be confirmed here:
As mentioned, I wasn't even entirely sure it was her in that show until I looked it up the next morning, which you can see here:
And if you look further into my browsing history, you get to the second sync. But first, as it turns out The Adventures of Pete and Pete was Michelle Trachtenberg's first acting gig. So on the night before she died I was inadvertently watching her in her first acting performances. That is trippy as hell in itself but while I was looking up the Pete and Pete cast, I also found myself looking up the actor who plays Artie the strongest man in the world. Here you can see this search:
Never knew he was the Wiz in Seinfeld until then. Anyway, why is this relevant? Well, because later that night, by complete accident I found myself watching a movie that Toby has a pretty big role in. Proof of that below:
You can even see me searching the cast to confirm it was him. Now, if I'm being entirely honest, I suppose it's possible I saw that he was in that terrible Weird Al movie (not recommended) when I looked at his IMDB, which planted the seed for watching that movie but honestly, I really don't think so. I don't remember digging into his page too far but maybe this one did happen on a subconscious level.
But wait, there's one more. Also on Wednesday, by circumstances that are absolutely not worth explaining, I found myself playing this game called Super Bonk, which came out in 1994. I of course got stuck and just as predictably immediately looked up a walkthrough. I was almost shocked that I actually found one. In fact, I was curious to when it was posted and much to my astonishment, the answer to that question 3 days prior. 1 view.
Again, this game is from 1994. All three of these syncs happened on the same day. Cosmic.
