"Remember Carlito's Way when he goes to see his ex-girlfriend and realizes he's still in love with her? It made me tear up! I was crying for Carlito's Way!! You want some tea? It's Yerba-Matte. From Argentina. It's a tea that's highly caffeinated. It keeps you up. It's like Red Bull. Oh, last night I was talking to {famous rockstar} and starring into his beautiful blue eyes when someone ruined the moment by mentioning he had a girlfriend... Should I wear this because it's sexy, or that because it's comfortable? Oh did you see the new Oreo Cookie earings I designed? I design stuff. I wouldn't call myself a designer though, because designers have to be merchandizers too..." (Allie upon us getting to her house to pick her up to go to Neighborhood Festival)

You never know who you'll meet on the plane {FN #22}.

'Get Fucked', Ministry Of Sound

Eon McKai is the founding father of alt-porn. My favorite stuff from his body of work is the trailers. His stuff looks like what'd you'd get if Stanley Kubrick did porn. All the girls in his movies are girls you'd actually meet at parties, and you probably already have. Eon says the food in LA is like the people: "Great apprearances, but often a disappointment..." My favorite moment with Eon was when he was driving me to get some 35mm film and his mom called to remind him to floss.

"Il y a un espace a ouvrir, entre le documentaire et la fiction." (Phillipe Parreno)

Diddy Riece is addictive. They specialize in ice cream sandwiches. You pick your cookies and you pick your ice cream. The cookies are soft enough to be heaven, but hard enough to actually hold the ice cream. Jill {FN #23} says: "They're so good, you're gonna want two. I always get some cookies extra to go."

22. {PR girl} was the last to board the plane, and apparently we were destined to sit together. She was wearing a cream raincoat that still had the tags on it, a sheer BCBG dress and zebra print panties. She was a talking machine. She used to be a singer but she's over that now. She's a cancer. She used to have an eating disorder and was in the hospital for 3 months. She was in a camp (a) for gifted children when she was younger. She's twenty which is young to be working so high up in PR, but she loves it. She's aggressive and it gets her in trouble sometimes. She's always chewing gum (b). Always. Even when she "does it". She's always wanted to model but she's too insecure for that. This year her sex life got better. She doesn't really drink but she had {drug} in her bra right now. Her boss (who apparently was sitting a few seats away) walked by and interrupted her to say "I've been listening to you talk since you got on the plane. It's incredible. You just don't stop. I mean wow, it's great for PR but let the poor guy talk too..." {PR Girl} got really emo (c) after that. "I'm not going to talk anymore. Tell me about you... You have siblings? I'm the youngest too... When I was in Europe... What are you thinking? I can tell you're listening to me but I can see that the wheels are turning... Okay, I have to go to the ladies room, but when I come back I'm going to be a completely different person." When she got back to the seat she reached into her purse and took out raspberry flavored Kool-Aid crystals to put into her water. Then she took out a perfume bottle of customized scent that she had made in Miami. She put some on her wrist and neck. She put some on my wrist too. It was vanilla rose with an orange top note. She showed me naked pictures of herself on her digital camera. She took out her IPOD and we shared the headphones listening to Ministry of Sound in the dark. We talked about music until our final descent into New York.

***Update: {PR Girl} found me on myspace. I guess nowadays it's not as radical not to exchange phone numbers after a chance encounter like it was in 'Before Sunrise' with Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke.

a. Remember camp when you had mosquito bites and you walked around smaking your tight jeans?

b. It's true. She chewed gum like Rene Levesque chain smoked cigarettes.

c. Later she got emo again when she handed me her blackberry to the "fill in your contact info" page and I wouldn't give her my phone number because I told her it would be fake. She got over it eventually. Later when she left and I was waiting for my luggage and I still could smell the vanilla rose perfume, I had thoughts of the "Pretty Woman" movie coda. I obviously was just really delirious, tired and hungry, since I hadn't eaten in 8 hours.

23. I met Jill at the now defunct Seventeen party in New York when she was just visiting and we hit it off right away. She says she hates getting photographed because it gives her the shakes.
