Why this must be read: For me, this is Justin. He's fucked up and not really normal at all, but he's dealing with it and he's eminently loveable. This is a beautiful character study, for Justin and Chris in particular, but also an interesting look at Lynn and at Justin's home life.
He woke up at the rest stop just outside of Baton Rouge a few hours ago. He hadn't been planning on sleeping, but at around nine in the morning the world had gone all camera-click, sleep deprivation layering on top of an already bone-deep exhaustion to turn the road into single stills jerking along at an uncertain and uncomfortable slow-fast-slow-fast frame rate. The caffeine hadn't done anything but given him the shakes, and his hands had already been uncertain enough on the wheel. He'd pulled over to the rest stop, smiled at the woman who was cleaning the men's room, and then climbed into the back of his SUV and pulled the blanket over his head. The next thing he'd known, it had been two in the afternoon and there were a bunch of five and six year olds playing a game of tag on the lawn next to his car. He'd sat up, dragged a hand over his head, and watched them frolic. The inside of the car had been stuffy and the air was still, though sometime while he'd been asleep it had rained.
"You look familiar," the waitress in the Waffle House in Louisiana had said to him as she came over to refill his coffee.
"Yeah," Jay said, and picked up his book. "I get that a lot."
Today's Cast List:
Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz
Chris Kirkpatrick (in the well-documented spikey hair phase)
Justin and his momma, Lynn Harless
