So the point of short blog posts was to make them frequent in easy to digests bits of goodness (or badness I guess).\u00a0 I think I would have been able to achieve that if it hadn’t been for an unfortunate accident.\u00a0 At the beginning of last week, I sat down in my chair and it broke.\u00a0 I believe there were two reasons for this terrible accident.<\/p>\n
It took about a week for me to get a new chair, and then I went away for the weekend, so now during the last few minutes of my lunch break, I’m writing a post about airplanes.<\/p>\n
The trip to Japan from Boston generally goes through Chicago and then flies up through Alaska down into Japan.\u00a0 Pictures can be seen of this on my Facebook photo album from my last trip to Japan.\u00a0 It takes about 14 hours and generally for a big guy like me, it sucks a lot.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, I didn’t sleep the night before and was prepared to hunker down next to a window and listen to music for 14 hours.\u00a0 Not the worst way to spend my time by any means.\u00a0 This time however, that was not to be.<\/p>\n
\u00a0It turns out I was seated next to a Thai mother and daughter and that the daughter took it upon herself to make a new friend.\u00a0 Thus in the interest of not being rude, I spent the time watching 5 movies and conversing with my neighbors.\u00a0 She had a DS and liked anime, so she was pretty cool.\u00a0 On the other hand, she was in HS and posited several times that cutting herself was something she should do to show her distaste for something.\u00a0 I like talking to new people after I get warmed up so I’m not complaining.<\/p>\n
In this last paragraph, I’m going to mention that ANA is much better than United for international flights.\u00a0 Specifically, I had my own monitor which featured on demand movies and some basic video games (arkanoid!!).\u00a0 These might seem like standard features on international flights, but not if you’re on certain United aircraft.\u00a0 I guess it remains true that foreign service tends to be better. (Although, I can’t complain about American, and people tell me Delta and Continental are also legit.)\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
