The pilot thinks for a moment high in the sky as an engine sputters of where he might land, of how perhaps it might be in a field near cows and a river, how it might be into a city almost to be lost in the hum of traffic and commerce, perhaps onto a family settling to a dinner at the table.
The sky is a cruel pristine blue. The few high clouds waft above him like serene atmospheric jellyfish.

i saw [REDACTED CELEBRITY]’s new movie last night at a surprise screening at the Landmark Century Theatre.
I’ll admit, ever since [REDACTED] left violent phone messages for my journalist ex (he reviewed [REDACTED]’s truly shitty album negatively), I’ve been intrigued. Ok, I liked him long before that– esp in those red boots in [MOVIE].
This movie was not so great. Other people I was with loved it. I thought it was a bit bland and not so artful but yes, the ending we’ve all heard about is pretty extreme. [REDACTED COSTAR], what were you thinking.
Then [REDACTED CELEBRITY] was there speaking about the movie. That was great. He was extremely intelligent and charming to everyone’s shock, I think.
There is a chance I will be interviewing him in an unusual manner today. Since he’s roadtripping his way across the country to promote the book, I may get to drive to Minneapolis with him. Long shot but this is what his agent says but for some reason I am so tired and so behind on work and so hot that I almost don’t want to pursue this.
Wow, I’ve changed. I remember back when i was like 18, getting off my shift at Urban Outfitters at 2am, going for the routine diner snack at Canter’s on Fairfax with coworkers, and sitting in the booth next to [SAME REDACTED CELEBRITY] and [OTHER REDACTED CELEBRITY] there, spying on their talk about starting a band. An event like that back then was the highlight of my month.

i have been sucked in. they sensed my no that meant yes. i am having my [REDACTED] date this evening. it may not end up being to MN but i am going to make sure it is an adventure. maybe it will be to MN though. hell, anywhere. i would love to run away from home w/ [REDACTED].
1.2.6 there is a teenage girl in me yet. [update 2] (2004-08-03 19:00)
<3 dear diary, oh i will forever keep that post-it note with his cell phone number written on it, scrawled in the type of red semi-cursive that only my grandfather (and probably all other elderly foreigners) could relate to !
he was so boy and i was all swoon. of course, he said some seriously sordid things–but er generous ones–like a fine offer to go down on me (in ref to the blowjob scene of course, highly relevant) as the premise of our interview!
whatta guy.
not to spread rumors, but there may be a [REDACTED] update #3 late late later tonight and you know what they say about the third. . .
