Synchronicity defined.

Yesterday, my friend Sarah and I were talking about our mutual crush on Milo Ventimiglia, the hottie who played Jess on "Gilmore Girls" and is now on the new show "Heroes."

I happened to catch the end of a "Gilmore Girls" rerun this evening, one in which the character of Jess -- a minor character relative to the entire series -- played a pivotal role.

The episode (filmed circa 2002) took place at a dance marathon, at the end of which the winner runs around the gymnasium holding his trophy aloft while the theme from Rocky plays.

Circa 2006, Milo Ventimiglia played Rocky, Jr. in Rocky Balboa.

If that's not what Carl Jung had in mind in doing his life's work, I don't know what is.
