I'm here at LAX in the most horrible lounge- but I've got a vague connection to Air China's wireless. I'd go ask if I may have permission to use it but I'd probably get shot or something.

It's hotter here than it is in our summer- apparently it's 21c outside! The flight went well, I slept for most of it, greatly assisted by a cute beardy trolley dolley who served me glasses full of gin. I watched "the worlds fastest indian", complete with "the worlds strangest kiwi accent", which was actually not bad. And then I watched "charlie and the chocolate factory" which was what finally sent me to sleep... I felt really safe on teh flight too, because both my doctors were sitting across the aisle from me. :-)

The customs droid was amusing- he asked where I was staying, I said "anchorage" and he went "What the hell are you gonna do up there?!?... err, Sorry sir, I mean, what is the purpose of your visit?"

I didnt have the heart to tell him I hoped to stay in bed for most of it...
Gettin REAL excited now!!!

Wait... The World's Fastest Indian isn't even in theaters yet, is it?

I want pictures of naked snow angels.

It's been and gone in NZ! but Air NZ is the first airline in the world to be showing it. Its a nice tale... a bit long but still lovely.

They may have to be naked drunken snow angels- I'm not sure I could actually submit my sober naked body to 6" of snow.... (However, 6" of something else is entirely achievable ;))

It would only be prudent to invest in some anti-freeze, of course.

However, 6" of something else

I thought it was a bit more than that...

But you should do that in the snow too. With pictures.

I don't care where the 6" of something else occurs, I want pictures. ;)

Wish I knew you were "traveling through" la - I could have stopped by and said hi and saved you from the awful lounge for a few hours. Enjoy your trip and happy New Year!
