Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy flight in my previous post. You have no idea how much power you hold:


  • KLM air stewardess: "As you can see, you are sitting right beside an emergency exit. There are a few things you need to know: if the plane crashes, you must pull this tag and the door will open. If the door doesn´t open, you must push it. However, you must only open the door once the alarm bell stops ringing. If you open the door before that, you will be sucked into the engine, and that wouldn´t be very pleasant."
  • Out of all the passengers boarding the KLM flight to Brasil, I was one of the few to be frisked by the security guard. I love it when people think I´m dangerous/dodgy-looking.
  • As soon as the plane took off, one of the air stewards skipped down the aisle. Not run. Not walk fast. Skipped.
  • There were over 50 movies, 50 CDs, videogames and even Sudoku games to play. I could watch new fair like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as well as the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. I fulfilled one of my lifetime dreams: I watched an airplane thriller inside an airplane (including bombs, shootings and the kidnapping of a little girl - Flightpan). I thought there was an international law against undue passenger distress? Perhaps passengers are now allowed to sensibly stress themselves out?


I´m now at the farm. My aunts, grandmother and brother are here. It´s sunny and I´ve been taking photos of the dogs drinking water from the pond. When I went to hang my towel to dry in the morning, a great kiskadee flew over me. Apparently, toucans have been flying down the mountain during certain times of the day. We are going to leave some seeds and fruits out for them.

At the moment, because of my family being around, I don´t have time to catch up with LJ. I´ll try doing so in a couple of days. I hope you are all well!

Yeah, it was when I watched The Day After Tomorrow and you were like, "If you really wanna get hopped up, get a double espresso and watch The Poseidon Adventure."

No boat trips, but I'm reading The Corrections, and two main characters are on a cruise right now. Oh, I remember, I thought the people on the boat were watching a movie about a boat crashing, like it was one of those highly self-consious nods to movie making people do now.

Jet lag. I'm going to bed at 10pm (which to my body is like 2am) and waking up at 6am. I'm not complaining though because I love waking up early.

I get up at 7:15, sometimes, in London for my swimming before work. It's easier during Summer and well worth it. Are you a morning person?

I never was before, but since graduating from school and moving in here, I have become one. GR wakes up early and I guess I just sorta got on her schedule. I remember how hard it was for me to get to ballet at 8:30 in college, but how much better I felt after doing it a while. Thought of you when I realized the Y has a pool, actually, which is what inspired me to try those early classes.
