An interesting thing happened on my way back to Dallas from Ft. Lauderdale.
While at the airport, I thought I would get something to drink from the restaurant/cafeteria. I got a bottle of coke and went to the cashier. Someone else went to the counter about the same instance to buy some coffee. She looked at me and asked me if I was going to Chicago. I told her that I am from Illinois but I am going to Dallas. Then she either asked "Would you like a job?" or "Are you looking for a job?" I think it was the former rather than the latter, but I don't remember exactly. And then she added "We're hiring." I am not really looking for a job, but it's always good to have opportunities available. Anyway, I gave her my number, and she said she would call. (She hasn't yet.) But I don't even know what kind of job it is for... Perhaps she works for a clown agency and they are looking for clowns...? Actually, she dressed very sharply. In fact, she reminded me of Eva Mendes. Maybe it was Eva Mendes and they are looking for new actors! I heard short actors are needed! That is, they are in short supply... Or was that in short demand? Too bad Eva is not as cute as Kyokorin, though!
And speaking of brushes with celebrities... On the flight back from Zurich to Dallas on December 22, I was fortunate enough to be able to get an upgrade to business class. On the flight, I didn't talk much to the guy next to me on the flight, but when we were landing, then we started to talk a little bit. He asked me if I got a look at the guy two rows up... He said that he thought he looked like Jack Nicholson. Since we were landing, I couldn't get up from my seat, but when we arrived at the gate, the guy was wearing black and wearing a black knit cap. He turned around when he got up from his seat and I must say, he looked a bit like Jack Nicholson. He looked a bit older, but on the other hand, don't we all... Anyway, when we deplaned, he was able to get off the plane before me, but while walking to immigration, I took the stairs up which is actually faster than the escalators when you take two steps at a time, so I was able to get near the front of the crowd which deplaned. However, I saw no sign of our Jack look-a-like. When we got to immigration, I did not see any sign of him. And in baggage claim as well, I did not see him. I then ran into the guy who was next to me on the plane, and he said he noticed they wheeled him off in a wheelchair. On the plane, he did not look like a guy who would need a wheelchair. Anyway, seems pretty suspicious to me. If only I had my camera with me... See! I need a new phone which has a camera on it. (Well, actually I already do, but I need a better one!)
