40,000 feet

Once again, my meal arrives first and suffers only in that its cookies are aimed at the more health oriented. Touting "6 Granen-Cereals" and "Al het goede van de volle graankorrel."
So the cookies are from Germany and the pizza; a 4 inch monster consisting of mainly crust with a light touch of sauce; centered and encased in cheese; hails directly from the pizza capitol of the wor- well, at least the USA; Chicago.
But she's lying, it's her "seat-side" manner; I know: pizza like this would be afraid to show it's thick and warmthless face anywhere near the great barons of pizzery in Chicago.
At least they aren't out of Coke yet.
Hit me, I almost fell asleep back there watching the icebergs float by as some pop pianist played Träumerei by Schumann.
I would have been watching "A Day on the Planet" or "In Good Company" but it seems only the Japanese get that honor.
And the most interesting pick would definately have to have been "What the Bleep Do We Know?"
But according to the guiding inflight entertainment magazine, no one gets to watch that. They just like taunting us more intellectual and artistic types with brilliant sounding films before going, "Ha ha! Just Kidding! Instead of a 'part documentary, part story, part elaborate series of special effects...film that blurs the lines between traditional film genres...' here's 'Racing Stripes'! And 'The Notebook'! Woo!...Nah we're just kidding again: here's 'About a Boy', you'll love that."
Don't make me have to open this lost-lunch bag and ruin this post.
Yes, I don't have paper readily available, so I improvise.
Although Miss "Real Chicago Pizza!" probably would have gotten me some had I asked nicely. Oh well.
Dammit, my ice is melting.

Do not dis "About a Boy" Once you got over its chick-flic features I think you would quite like it. It's not so main stream and self-fulfilling and most of the American crap.

Hmm. Feel free to dis "About a Boy". I'm sure I would given the chance. Sorry, Ande *wink*. But you know how I and the movies go.

As for the flight, sounds like a travesty. I only hope my experience on the coming Monday is much more beneficial, satisfying, and if nothing else - at least I'll have something better to watch than that damned "Notebook".

Actually, I really enjoyed my flight, I saw things I had never seen before flying and I was comfy and taking pictures like crazy. Plus I heard lots of new music I will have to look up.
I just gave the peice an angry tone.
But you should definately hope to have something better to watch than "The Notebook"...
