OK, the world just got entirely too small

So I've just arrived on St. Vincent, an island I've never been to before and which I would still have a little trouble finding on a map. I'm working and settling in and puttering around figuring out which power adapter goes into what, and finally I flip on the TV before bed.

And the very first face I see, on the channel the previous occupant of this room must have been watching, is somebody I just met for lunch, a friend of a friend. She's not famous, she's not on TV all the time, if ever. You'd have no idea who she is. That's what makes this so odd.

Eeny little planet this is.
