Update from the air (kind of)
Aug. 20th, 2009 07:35 amYes, I'm still alive... sorry for the lack of updates, guys - it's been a pretty busy past 3 weeks since Mom arrived! In fact, it's taken until I had 14 hours to kill on a plane to finally write an update which I won't be able to post until I get home anyway... it's 1:30pm Sydney time, I've been in the air about 3 hours... 11 to go. ^^ Will arrive back in Vancouver Wednesday morning at 7am, which is a bit trippy given that I left on Wednesday at 10:30am Australia time. :) Think that counts as time travel...?
Anyway, it's been an awesome 3 weeks. I'm going to do up a proper post with pics and whatnot for my travelblog (which has been even more sadly ignored than this journal), probably at least in part while sitting here trying to stave off boredom, but that'll take awhile - got a ton of pics to sort through, and don't have all of them with me. My camera, just days after I finally got it back, died. -_- Hopefully not permanently - I'm going to take it to get looked at soon as I get home. But in the meantime I've been counting on Mom to take the pictures. I've got a chunk of them on my computer, but not the most recent ones.
( details under cut )
*looks at watch* Well that killed almost an hour and a half, go me! It's now almost 3pm, which means about 9.5 hours to go. Bleeeh, bored now. And tired of using the computer, I think I'll give it a rest and maybe work on my travelblog post later. I don't want to give myself a headache. I'm also getting a bit hungry, which is always one of the worst parts of long flights for me - I hate the food, though I try to eat a bit of it. Got a bunch of snacks with me, too.
Anyway, suppose it's a bit pointless to say what time it is given that by the time I post this I'll be home. ;) Just pretend, okay?
(hours later... home now! just slept for 4 hours because I was exhausted, now going to try to force myself to stay awake until tonight. Tis nice to be home... nothing like that view of the West Coast mountains and islands as you fly into Vancouver, it always chokes me up a bit when I've been away from home for awhile. :) Also had a gorgous sunrise above the clouds when we were about 45min-1 hour out. Rest of the flight from when I wrote this was fine; watched a bunch of TDS/TCR on my iPod and a couple of episodes of The Office. Watched The Soloist and Wolverine on the in-flight entertainment (former was v. good, can't beat RDJ and Jaime Foxx, and the latter was pretty entertaining overall... though I don't know the comic version of Wolverine's origin story and I gather the movie butchered it. ^^; I enjoyed it well enough, anyway).)
