now that the academics have got out of the way...

the best thing that i could i have leaving pa was catching southwest.com. it was refreshing flying no frills at a real bargain too. i quite like their easy going concept of their flying experience. i've had encounters with snooty fairies on ba.com to the heavy accented mamas on iberia.com to absolute incompetence on flysaa.com. but these guys made it really happen. forget the fact that they dont serve any food - who likes airline food anyway (one loses it's appetency after the first flight).....

[have to go, finish this later]

....where was i? oh, airline food! they had the wackiest crew ever! who gets pilots that crack jokes mid-flight and pretend they are shrek? or flight attendants who play hoops with peanuts packets? it was so crazy and carefree and i enjoyed the excellent customer service. on my leg from los angeles to sacramento, i was truly starving and confessed to the lady serving me some orange juice. she returned some minutes later with loads of the tiny peanut packets and added, "don't spend the day in the bathoom all day tomorrow now!"

i got a chance to meet my long lost cousin sabs who's now pretty much based here as well. funny thing is that i don't really have any childhood memories of him (neither does he of me!) but we hit it off quickly, caught up on life so far and ended with healthy, thought provoking conversations. i can't remember the last time i spoke deeply about the some of the things in our 'speak' - it was very interesting. we are doing am open mike session at this jamaican place on wednesday. i'm a virgin when it comes that arena despite been an avid writer and a wannabe poet. i'm sure i'll getting some tickling in my brain a little listening to some original art.
