Is it supposed to feel like I'm on a roller coaster that will never stop?
12:07 AM
Well, the turbulence passed, and I wound up spending the past forty minutes absorbed in the football game. I'm fairly sure it was a bust fantasy wise. Now people are awake and roaming around, thanks to the flight attendants who passed out the miserable Wheat Thins Chips to everyone. Of course, the awful result of this is that the demon child has arisen once again and filled the cabin with all sorts of ear-piercing squeals and screams. Hey parents, SHUT YOUR DAMN KID UP.
12:10 AM
The flight attendant just shot the demon child an evil glare. The sort of evil glare that only a flight attendant can pull off. Little did she realize that her eyes will be pecked out by a crow as soon as we land. At least, that's what happened on The Omen II, which just happens to be appropriately playing on the Fox Movie Channel. I swear, Damien's on this flight right now.
12:10 AM
Well, it seems like the battery's about to die. It's been fun. I blame Damien.
4:11 AM
And now the joyous epilogue. Nothing too eventful happened the rest of the trip. There was some casual Conan viewing, which came on the heels of a twenty-minute dead period of television programming. There was nothing on. Upon landing, I then had to wait a good thirty-five minutes before my bags showed up because for whatever reason, the hatch on our airplane refused to open, which meant mechanics needed to tinker with it for an intolerable amount of time. For all you wondering how my fantasy teams fared, let me just say, it was not pretty. I was hoping that at least in the league where I was in second place, I might somehow beat my opponent (who had LT), but I even lost in that, but a mere .32 points! Frustration incarnate. I was almost as angered as when I heard for the second time that DirecTV had bailed on installing HD in my apartment, saying they wouldn't be available for two more weeks (it's already been SIX weeks of waiting). There shall be an angry rant tomorrow....
Until then, I better go to sleep. I have an Amazing Race recap to attack tomorrow morning. Safe travels to all!
UPDATE: I can't believe I forgot this, but when I was waiting curbside for J-Unit to pick me up at the airport, who should pull up to get her friend? None other than Casey from The Duel. Only in Los Angeles...

Good thing you saved that with the Jeffersons because your belief that 227 wasnt as funny as you recalled was about to lose you a friend!!!
Those hand drapers suck. The other day someone was doing some hand waving in front of my screen- sitting in his chair with his hand over the back and movnig it around while he talked. how is that a comfortable way to sit?

I think you should quit whatever your job is now and just fly all over the place, blogging!
Loved the Mario picture!

Funny flight blog as always. On a side note, Sun. night I bought my first Toblerone. I've always thought about it but didn't think it would live up to it's price tag. B-side, your comments convinced me to give it a try and I was not disappointed.

You should have slapped that bitches hand and told Mario to kick her seat throughout the flight.
The Saget,, Peters and Franklin trifecta was hilarious!!!

oh man I too was on a 5 hour flight yesterday and when we hit the rocky's i feared for my life. all the way from LA across the rockies there was some crazy turbulence such that the pilot started yelling at us "there is no reason why anyone should be standing! stewardesses! sit down!" 3 hours without beverage service and NWA crappy no movies, no free music, no free anything policy. It was truly wretched.

I'd gladly give up extra seating room to have Mario beside me. HotDAMN! (did you see those lips? could they BE any more lickable?)
Lucky Asian lady to have the duo of deliciousness that is B-Side and Mario in her row.

what is in those wheat thins? on my return, everybody chowed down on them, then began standing up, pulling luggage down, chatting loudly in the aisles, and generally invading my personal space.
also have you noticed that if your neighbor uses the free headphones, you have to hear everything they're hearing?
