After a long hiatus, I'm back: both blogging and abroad. Sometimes I think my favorite things to blog about are my flights. This most recent trip has, as ever, proved entertaining. Some highlights:
- Always the in-flight movies. Though the selection was limited this go round, quality makes up for it. Yes, I finally saw "The Social Network",but "Never Let Me Go" was fantastic. Carey Mulligan is officially my new favorite actress. Keira Knightley didn't ruin a film for once. Also, Andrew Garfield?! Despite looking nothing like leading man material (seriously, he looks scary in photos) he's really great in both films, looks dreamy in a black suit and threatens to hit Justin Timberlake. LOVE.
-unexpected upgrade to Economy Plus means more leg room and a happy Allison.
-People keep wanting to adopt me? Most recent on the wannabe parent list is the lady from Denver sitting beside me on the way to London. She refs soccer, I don't even know the rules. But her husband likes moviesand her 27 year old nephew likes books, writes and is working on his PhD. Apparently, she thinks I'm just lovely. New project: Write my own guide to taking over the world.
-Heathrow is alot nicer when you don't have to run through it. In fact, despite the random stalking episode with a boy in a flannel shirt, I like it best so far (yeah, I hate you too, JFK International)
-I still love the English accent, no matter how long I spend in Ireland. Everything they say just sounds funnier.
Most of you know my Christmas experience, so suffice to say, it was really great to get home and see everyone. Also, I got a new camera for Christmas, so pictures should follow, if I manage not to break this one. For now, I'm going to work on poetry for submission, and then decide what classes to take this semester. Why is it always so difficult?! I have it narrowed down to Screenwriting, Non-Fiction and North American Literature. I may just end up reading the required reading but not taking the literature class, though I do love discussions. AH. Until next time...
