...a UK PR person said it's because I write for BBC Travel and the Telegraph. Huh. I also write for the LA Times and San Francisco Chronicle, but no one assumes I live in California. I write for the Washington Post frequently, but no one has ever mistaken me for a DC denizen. I'm still confused!

As she was walking out, Park Posey marched in toward the cash register, strode past Japanese girl #2, grabbed her glasses, and then walked out. Japanese girl #2, held the door open for her, and Parker went about her day, having no idea about the drama over her sunglasses that had just taken place.

There was some heated talking as Japanese girl #1 pointed at the sunglasses that Japanese girl #2 was holding and then pointed in the direction back inside the restaurant.
30 seconds later, Japanese girl #2, shrugged and walked inside and put the sunglasses back on the counter.

They walked out after paying and her sunglasses were still on the counter.
A minute later, two Japanese females went up to pay and one of them took Parker’s sunglasses with her. When they got outside, I could see Japanese girl #1 lecturing Japanese girl #2, about the sunglasses.

One day about 17 or so years ago, I was eating breakfast at Veselka in the East Village, and I saw Parker Posey and Ryan Adams eating a few tables away. This is when they were dating. Eventually, they went up to the cash register to pay. Parker was holding these over-sized sunglasses.

After asking him a few questions about the film he was promoting, I posed an oddball question: if you were my alarm clock and had to wake me up, how would you do it? He paused for a few seconds and then said, "I have no idea. Next question." RIP Val Kilmer. When I die, please don't wake me up.

I was ushered into the suite and placed at a table. Mr. Kilmer, sitting on a couch about 30 feet away, spent about 3 long minutes sitting there before getting up and walking toward me. It all felt very choreographed (because it probably was).

Some real examples: "La Novia" (The Bride), "La Ventana" (The Window), "El Toro" (The Bull), "Oso" (Bear), "Empressa" (Company), "Bello Gente" (Beautiful People)--which should be "Bella Gente," and my favorite "Antonio," which you can find at an intersection with "Banderas" (Flags) Street.
