I fear dehydration on planes -- too much to drink alcohol, but not enough to drink water. Also, most importantly, I need something hot to drink in those iceboxes, so milk functions as a suggestion to sleep and a hot water bottle for my insides.
The accident in the parking lot near my place turned out to not be an accident, just as I'm assuming the cop wasn't a cop but instead Hollywood magic. I was excited, deflated, excited, and then blase. It's such a rollercoaster world here in LA.
Gloomcookie, is your tag from The Breeders' song of the same name?
It is :) Don't you just love Kim Deal?
I hate flying, mostly because I'm so tall and because of the dry air. Air is kept dry on planes in order to prevent corosion of the fuselage metal. The new Boeing Dreamliner plane will have a fuselage made of composite material (carbon-fiber) so they're promising that they'll be able to keep the air at a comfortable level of humidity in the plane. I can't wait.
edit for clarity....

Yep. I love about everything she's been involved with. Also Tanya Donely, Kristin Hersh, etc... - 4AD records is cool!

Will it also be warm? I can work with the dryness, but I hate having to dress for the plane, when I'm going from somewhere warm to somewhere else warm.

I love Throwing Muses/Kristin Hersh.
Aww. Just came through my email:
OMGWTF polar bear!
The cues are just different.
Gus/Robin/et al, what other kinds of cues do you notice in Europe?
Will it also be warm?
Dunno. It's supposed to be more pressurized, so that might help.
IIRC, airliners use air conditioners to cool the air entering the cabin, despite the fact that it's about 40 below outside. The air picks up heat as it is pressurized to cabin pressure.
Brenda, is that Klondike and Snow (who were old twins) or has another set of twin polar bears been born in captivity?
They've got my number with that one. I'm always waiting for a big gay hookup episode.
Well, there's a sleepover and boycut underwear and a pillow fight.
The woman I need to see at USC isn't coming in today. ARGH. Maybe I'll just mail the stuff I need to mail to her instead of driving it down.
