So the first thing I did when I got back was to get a pizza. I missed pizza so much over there… 10 days isn’t much to go without pizza, and I’ve done that many, many times in the past completely without noticing, but going without the possibility <\/em>of pizza starts to erode the psyche. It makes their whole society seem like its a hollow sham, waiting to fly apart at the seams into unbridled anarchy. After all, where can a society expect its members to function normally when they must live each day without the security blanket that is knowing good pizza lies just a phone call away? Of course, they probably think the same thing about our society and the lack of good train\/bus service.<\/p>\n

The flight home was ok: completely packed this time, so we didn’t have the luxury of the empty seat. We were getting awfully<\/i> sick of fish and rice, though. I mean, I don’t even eat the stuff yet I was sick of seeing and hearing about it. The dinner on the plane was fish and rice (we were aware of the fact that chicken and pasta was also an option, but it looks like everyone at the front of the plane opted for that so they were out by the time they got to us), and it reeked. Breakfast on the plane was… fish and rice (or a nasty-looking omlette and a sausage that even Dave wouldn’t eat). Our lunch\/snack was an assortment of tiny sandwiches, and a giant seaweed-wrapped concoction of fish and rice.<\/p>\n

Today’s featured Facebook gift is a paper crane. LOL, I can’t escape!<\/p>\n

I slept 14 hours last night. It was pretty good — it would have been better if the fan at my parents house didn’t have an auto temperature detector\/shutoff that made it cycle on and off all night. Stupid electronics trying to be smarter than me…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
