Wonder if Rob knows about this awesome dude...
He gives as his short cv: "Military sports school in 1991 after training mechanics (motorcycles); started skydiving in 1986; professional since 1997" He gets paid to jump off stuff!
When Cities Define Your Footwear Personality

So I just found my next pair of shoes:
adidas Oslo
I wonder if the design folks at adidas think this shoe looks "norwegian"? Whatever the case, I'm in--great job on the gum rubber sole!
Accomplishments of the Underemployed

This is what constitutes a busy day for me:
Friday July 25, 2003--
1.Started blog.
2.Went for a run.
3.Consumed 3 burritos.
4.Finished PS2 game "Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny".
5.Continued to inch forward towards the conclusion of "Fellowship of the Ring".
6.Compiled "Best of Bjork" mix.
7.Saw former good friend Starr L'Ahrens (apparently a proud supporter of Cuba).
It's a wonder I'm even able to remember it all...I need to take a break...and I didn't even watch a film..what's that motto again "A Day Without Film Is A Day Wasted"?? Better remedy that.

Possibly my biggest "star sighting" ever last night--actually, it wasn't a "sighting", it was an interaction, a transaction if you will. I sold acclaimed British actress Tilda Swinton Milk Duds! It was such a rush, I could hardly count the change correctly...
Some would say Ms. Swinton isn't that big (Orlando, The Beach, The Deep End, Vanilla Sky, etc.) but to me it's probably more important that I respect and admire her work. She said she would be back to see another film, so maybe then I'll be confident enough to ask her what is was like to work with Virginie Ledoyen.
