well here i am again, in saudi arabia
\noh, just in case i didn’t tell y’all, i am in saudi arabia to spend my summer vacation here
\nnotes on the journey:
\n– thank God it was safe and to a degree enjoyable
\n– 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
\n– 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
\n– 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)
\n– 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
\n– air canada sucks
\nalso 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)
\ni’m in riyadh
\nmoreover, i like cheesypuffs
\nand i have dial up here so i can’t be online 24\/7
\nand dial up is so painfully slow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
