Livin’ in a Prayer

Well, I’m at the halfway point in the first leg of this journey.  Six hours down, six more to go.  They’ve started to play movies now.  Grown ups was the first one.  Funny feel good despite the cramped conditions I have to view it in.  The second one was A-Team.  Not that great, but it’s a way to waste an hour and a half. Now they’re torturing me with the Prince of Persia. 

You know, despite having a little notebook, it’s still too large for my airline seat.  It’s an act of circus proportion controtions to type on it, and it’s not because of the reduced keyboard size.  I’m hoping that I’ll find an internet connection and some time at the Japanese airport to shoot these updates out…. six cramped hours from now. One thing I didn’t count on is to have my left knee starting hurting again. There’s some room and opportunity to walk around, but it pales in comparison to real activity.  I think the last time I sat in a confined place for so long was for the release of the third Lord fo the Rings movie.  AMC was showing both of the extended versions of movies one and two before the release of the third, all played back to back.  That movie theater seat was a luxury liner compared to my current accomodations, but it was only nine hours of sitting.
