Leavin Tomorrow

So I thought it would be a good idea to wear 10 pound ankle weights all day today and tomorrow. This includes the plane ride. When I land in London, I will take them off, thereby tricking my body into feeling as if gravity is much different 4000 miles away.

Okay, maybe that isn't true...but it sounds like a fun idea. Maybe I'll write it into a story one day. But it's tomorrow...I do not look forward to airport security or waitin around for 3 hours in the terminal. But hey- it's like a big mall. Maybe me and Jesse can get a smoothie.

The two of us craftily changed our seats to sit by each other (he gave me the window seat!). Plane takes off at 5:00, and the flight is 7.5 hours. 3953 miles later, I'll be in London. We get a dinner and breakfast (don't think I wont be reviewing the airline food with pictures cause I totally will be). I got Chuck Pahlaniuk's Survivor to re-read in the airport, and will read Cormac McCarthy's The Road on the way back.

I also have the entire show of Extras on my iPod. If you haven't seen it...give it a shot. It's a British comedy show by Ricky Gervais where he plays a movie extra. Each episode has a celebrity guest. The best ones were Daniel Radcliff and Ian McKellen. I've watched it a bunch of times, but it will help develop my British accent on the plane ride over. I will blend in with the locals - just you wait!

But this will be the last post, unless I feel like writing one in the airport. I'll update it as often as I can everyone. Enjoy!
