frankfurt. April 15, 2008
spent the layover in frankfurt. pretty sweet. 
ich leiba bloomin! (it’s the extent of my german vocabulary)
when i walked across this bridge, i saw one of those old men who stands there with the cart (and a parrot) and turns a handle to make twinkly german music box music…i knew i was in germany for sure, all that was missing was weinershnitzel! it was very tourisity indeed
t to the urbulence April 14, 2008
…if you’ve ever ridden on the superman…
(and you hate heights)
you know that feeling you get when you are dangling at the top, suspended in the air?
anticipation, (um, scratch that, how about ‘dread’?), slight panic, fear-
then there’s the ‘drop’ and your stomach does that ‘thing’, that flippy thing…
this is how I feel when airplanes are turbulent…
- i have no idea where it came from (it’s recent)
- it’s pretty much irrational- i recognize this.
so today the airplane was being pretty turbulent (understatement) … there i sat, completely tense- trying to remain calm; breathing, not looking out the window, smelling my ‘no stress’ aroma therapy (they should have some sort of disclaimer- (“does not work when consumer is experiencing extreme anxiety such as turbulent airplane rides), all the while, i knew i was being completely irrational but at the same time, i could care less.
(for me) this was an indication that things were bad…
the stewardess did not tell me to check to make sure my seatbelt was securely fastened, lock my tray table, and put my seat in an upright position (oh, and ‘turn off all electronic devices- i cheated (!) – hey, it was calming me down…somewhat.)
instead, she gets on the intercom and informs us that the last cabin check will not be done by the cabin crew, but will be done on the “honor system”- what the?! in other words, ‘do it yourself’, because the pilot came on the intercom and told them to buckle themselves in for the descent. for someone as paranoid as i am, when it comes to flying, this was bad, very bad. i take solace in seeing the stewardesses walking down the isles with their overly perky smiles, and blond hair- i mean, come on! If the flight attendant can walk down the isle smiling and telling me to shut off my ipod, we’re probably not going down- so..
after this, ms. stewardess has the audacity…(too strong of a word?) whatever, i’m using it; the AUDACITY to then come on the intercom while the plane is rocky and tilty and I’m panicky, and she’s strapped, and my aroma therapy is definitely not working,
…AND inform us, “just a reminder, if we have an emergency landing, please remember to leave all you luggage in the plane, thank you!”
i’m thinking omigod. serious? really? wow. thank you for that ms. stewardess woman with the southern accent. That was very helpful for paranoid people such as i, with excessively irrational fears of turbulence… (sarcasim… it’s dripping…)
but
number one; i’m not leaving my bag- screw that
two…did your voice sound…panicky? omigod.
and three…i might die. wahhhhhhhhh
so, since i am writing this blog, it is obvious the plane didn’t completely flip over or loose a wing.
i’m just waiting to connect to frankfurt (yes, SIX hour layover, followed by and eleven hour layover)… trying not to think about the potential…(inevitable!?!?) for more turbulence, and seriously considering how I might sedate myself for this next leg. (whiney, i am)
any ideas?
heheehe

ashley and ryan’s wedding April 6, 2008
today was ashley and ryan’s wedding!!
nothing terribly uneventful… the rain was completely expected, the fainting bridesmaid (during the ‘i do’s’ no less!!) was not- yet everything was beautiful and perfect! the bride, the bridesmaids, the reception… the cake was freaking cool- (first aquarium cake i’ve seen). enjoy the pictures!
up next…it’s boca, then israel! 8 days baby!
listen to this yo! April 4, 2008
this week i’m completely adoring the Frames. seriously, amazing stuff people…
the song i like the best (so far) is “fake”
‘come on the guy’s a fake…
and if it’s just a game,
then what are we crying for?”
“song for someone” and “finally” are pretty sweet as well.
((glen hansford- the frames))
i’m also trying really hard to like alexi Murdoch, i mean, i don’t necessarily dislike him- his guitaring is really brilliant, but i dunno, there’s something about his voice. i think i’ll keep listening though, because it’s mellow and like said, the guitaring is very very nice.
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE!!!
okay, so i’m a little excited about this band! i’m in love with their name so i really wanted to like their music, but it took me a long time to actually take a listen because i didn’t want to be disappointed…weird, i know…
anyways, i finally got some of their music and- me gusta! (phew!)
“Crooked teeth”
enjoy!
