frequent flyer

In the past twelve months I have flown at least twelve times. I hate flying! It's okay when the ride is smooth, but when the seatbelt light is on the entire time it's no fun. I can't sleep on planes either. And I have to line up in the 'all other passports' line, which is extra fun when your flight gets in at the same time as American Airlines and Fly Emirates. Oh yeah, and added security measures means that deodorant is not allowed. This is not a big problem for me, but it apparantly was a problem for the woman sitting next to me. It's also extra extra fun getting on the Tube during rush hour with three large bags. But I made it back to London in one piece. One big, smelly, tired, grumpy piece. Since I'll be flying at least once every three months, I thought I would rate my experiences. This is more for my benefit than for dear readers.

Air Canada red eye flight:
Movie: Crap. "Take the lead" possibly beat out "She's the Man" as worse movie ever
Food: Unedible. But I still ate it. I like the night flights because I can drink wine with "dinner". This is harder to do when you are served breakfast.
Bumps: Lots of them. More than I've ever had before. And they weren't lovely, or ladylike.
Immigration: No probs...other than queing up for an hour.
Bonus: Alan Cross' History of New Music - In Flight version
Overall: Not one of the best Air Canada flights I've ever had. Severley lacking in footrests and blankies.

Have you gotten a call from Samuel L Jackson yet? This really is the best thing ever. I tried to send this via phone to friends in London, but apparantly 208 is also the area code for Idaho. So some poor farmers in Idaho are answering their phones to hear that their homegirl Stephanie says stop smoking all that wacky tobaccy and to go see Snakes on a Plane.
