my brother's 21st birthday

7 14 pm pdt   [ good-bye, England ]

Back in the states. Right off the plane and it's an LA moment as I watch Katherine Zeta Jones and her assistant gather dozens of suitcases while Michael Douglas waited with a small child in his arms. My mother and I reflected what it must be like to visit LA for the first time and see movie stars before you've even cleared customs.

I got quite motion sick at the end of the flight and kept thinking of the expression "tossing my cookies." I have the potential to work in LA this summer on the new Tom Cruise film (the one in which he plays a magician). Matthew will hate it, so we'll see what happens.

I am trying to fight getting sick, but that was a rough ride.

Finally, Rebecca hung up on her mom, a skill which I was also most proficient in at 13.

I just got off the phone with a dear friend who asked me to join with her in a business venture I am not qualified for, but I think will be a lot of fun.

Others are intelligent and interesting, but there is no ephemeral spark of chemistry which is so necessary in any successful relationship.
