Besides the always amusing browse through the SkyMall catalog, I was fairly bored and restless on the flight back from JFK to SFO, and I had the aisle, and my seatmates were popping up and down like jack in the boxes, so I had to get up every 10 minutes, and the only thing I could concentrate on was HEMISPHERES, the inflight magazine, which included an interview with David Lynch, famous movie director and director of Twin Peaks, which I loved, and who, if you haven't heard, refuses to talk about anything BUT Transcendental Meditation these days, and how it's going to save the world. Wasn't he a gun nut or something? He is an odd and funny guy:
A: It's the superhighway to the gold. People think that peace is the absence of war, but peace is the absence of all negativity. This causes negativity to go like sunlight causes darkness to go.
Q: I read that you drink lots of coffee. How much do you drink in a day?
A: I try to get 20 in.
Q: Cups? You know, there are people who say that caffeine is evil.
A: It's a funny world.

With 20 cups of Java he needs the meditation to keep from vibrating to death.

Haha. that's hillarious. I saw him talk in Berlin some time ago, it was just the same. Actually it was almost like a scene from his movies: Lynch, the scientist and some more men, all dressed in khaki suits, in front of a red curtain. Lynch was talking about founding "universities of peace" and kept saying that TM was "BLISS, PURE BLISS" while wildly gesturing with his hands. My friend later wrote an article for a big German newspaper about the event, titled "Mild at heard - but weird on top".
