From my friend JS… Whatever AirTroductions winds up being called after our new redesign and relaunch, below is yet another example of why it will soon rule the world. —– Peter: Have fun blogging this: Then I have a bag of magazines- so he is looking over my shoulder at them- and seeming like he wants to read one- So..i say… "Would you like to look at one?" – he says yea – and takes my US Magazine- which i am completely done with…Then…he reads it done with US and the same thing. Staring my magazines down..,So again, I say. "Would you like to look at one?" …he says yea! So do you notice i say LOOK not take! So [...]

Los Angeles Times Editor Andres Martinez resigned after a "failed editing experiment" and allegations of an ethical breach. Basically, the LA Times was going to have a "Guest Editor" section, where celebs and the like could edit the paper, deciding what stories could run and who could write them. Brian Grazer (producer, A Beautiful Mind) was gonna be the first editor, this past Sunday. Except that Martinez was doing Kelly Mullins, a publicist who work(ed)s for 42 West, a PR agency that reps… wait for it… Brian Grazer. (Per WSJ, sub req.) My recommendation to publicists/editors/reporters… Do whomever you want. Just make sure you’re not working with them in any capacity. It’s a good rule to have. I’ve only broken [...]

So I made it home. Walked in the door around 9:00pm to two very pissed off cats. (Their standard mood.) Flight wound up leaving Tokyo around 3:30 hours late, around 8:30pm Tokyo. (9:30am EST.) I wound up sitting next to a lovely person who had a large supply of Ambien. Understand, I’ve NEVER taken Ambien, or any sleeping aid, in my entire life. So what better time to start. I had dinner, and when they took the meal away, I got out my Bose noise reduction headphones, and Vanity Fair. I swallowed a 10mg pill. Next thing I knew, I was being gently tapped on the shoulder by the cabin attendant, letting me know that I needed to fill out [...]

Not one of the over 200 people on my buddy list is awake. Except for the one in London. And she’s in a meeting. Sigh. Still no news on my flight. Stupid Houstoners. You’d think I could vibe SOMEONE to wake up. … Stupid vibes.

Sitting in Norita Airport, Tokyo, delayed. Why? Because there were mechanical issues with CO Flight Six, going from Norita to Houston. But Peter! You don’t live in Houston! You’d rather chew off your foot than live in Houston! What does the Houston flight 6 have to do with your flight 8? Easy: Houston is a bigger hub for Continental than Newark. So the powers that be in Norita simply decided (per standard operating procedure, I’m sure,) to give the Houston passengers our plane, and make the Newark passengers sit on their asses until they can (hopefully) fix the Houston (now Newark) plane. So at 4:54pm Tokyo time (3:54am New York time) I sit here, knowing that even if we DO [...]
