i spent the better half of june 11th on the plane to singapore. this time, thank goodness, a quiet, unassuming japanese man sat next to me. it seems to me that he was of the cautious and/or nature - he kept to himself, avoided all side glances, and occasionally whipped out a book to read. i wasn't in the mood to strike up conversation. i either slept or read briefly from samantha's model, an intriguing book into the dirty background of modeling ... and looking forward to disembarking. i've spent enough time on the plane - it's time to get off!
