Witching.
Alright, I need to purge this creepy power from my mind. Maybe writing about it will work. I have an upsetting power that I can't harness or understand. It's occurrence is so common, we have taken to calling it "witching". This sounds silly but I assure you, it is a dark and haunting power that makes no sense and causes me much anxiety.
I can make pop culture appear. If I mention a movie, actor, song...most of the time within a few days, it will be on, have a publicity resurgence, or be played or mentioned. This appears to be a completely random act. It doesn't happen all the time. But very very very frequently. Like all unharnessed powers, I cannot make it work to my profit or detriment. Which is good. I just can't explain it.
The other day, I was mentioning a VERY obscure French animation film from my childhood (The Last Unicorn), to the fabulous Miss Olive. I am watching it on TV right now. The other night Mister B and i were watching a Benson marathon on the blessed TVland and I spotted Philip Baker Hill on the episode, who is not very often in modern stuff, which I commented on...last night, Magnolia was on.
These are just the most recent examples of witchings. There are MILLIONS of them. And I can't explain it, or control it. I have no doubt it will destroy my life and drive me into the madhouse. That black, black magic. Please turn on your radios and wait for Frank Sinatra.

OMG- Mr Sinatra just drove past my house. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
You mock. Go ahead. They all laughed at...well, Henny Youngman I am told...do not mock things you can never understand. The rhythm IS going to get you.
And yet you won't talk about Max Headroom, thereby leading to its release on DVD.
This is a good and happy power, better than the Neilsons!
The Last Unicorn! I loved that movie. I'll have to keep an eye out.
