well here i am again, in saudi arabia
oh, just in case i didn’t tell y’all, i am in saudi arabia to spend my summer vacation here
notes on the journey:
– thank God it was safe and to a degree enjoyable
– air canada sucks, the food was utterly bland, the in-flight entertainment was put on at the wrong times (no personal screens, either) and they showed monsters, inc., which is old and not that good
– london-heathrow’s terminal 3 sucks, in all my trips i’ve always rested in terminal 4, but this time it was terminal 3, and it sucks
– i ventured into a bookstore in london-heathrow and read a lot about the making of the spider-man movie, also i read martin luther king’s views on malcolm x (in the apparent autobiography of martin luther king, jr.) — and let’s just say martin is an ignoramus when it comes to malcolm (maybe he should’ve read the autobiography of malcolm x, it would’ve helped)
– saudi arabian airlines has improved a lot since i last traveled in it, it has personal screens, the in-flight entertainment was diverse and (hey, air canada) actually entertaining (i watched ocean’s eleven, i had to watch it twice to completely figure it out, great movie, folks) — and the food was fine
– air canada sucks
also i am trying to finish “the silmarillion” by j.r.r. tolkien, it’s like a prequel to the events in the lord of the rings (a pre-pre-prequel, more like it)
i’m in riyadh
moreover, i like cheesypuffs
and i have dial up here so i can’t be online 24/7
and dial up is so painfully slow
