If James Salter's in the running for short story prizes, everyone else can just give up. Except like Alice Munro and William Trevor.
Last night I watched True Blood, Breaking Bad, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and maybe something else, I can't remember. This weekend I saw Fright Night and Conan the Barbarian. Fright Night was extremely fun... Colin Farrell in particular was eating up his scenes like steak. And the girl is gorgeous.
Then I read The Book of Werewolves
. Today I got in an elevator and Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner got in too. I tried to look anywhere except at Tom Cruise, to avoid seeming like I knew it was Tom Cruise. Then before I got off I made eye contact and he nodded, like, "I know you know I'm Tom Cruise. It's ok. Really."

Was Tom as short as everyone says he is? When I lived in L.A. I saw Sylvester Stallone, and I swear he barely came up to my waist. It's always a little odd seeing in person people you've only seen previously on a big screen.
He didn't seem strikingly short. He's proportionate. He looked young, healthy, and movie star confident.
You're a funny guy, Nick, calling "Prunes" 'fun'. Great story, though.
