*******update*********
I got to American soil late Thursday, after about 45 hours of flight.///// After frantically packing and praying and giving antd throwing stuff away, getting paperwork stamped, going bavk and forth between agencies (Big up to the International Society of the Red Cross) I made it. I flew from Baghdad to Qatar, and when I got there, I was running around with my ultra-heavy from shuttle bus to shuttle bus, (more paperwork )and I had to throw away a nice coat. The airport was filled with Filipinos, and I had to immigrate into the country in order to use the airport. The exchange rate was weird, I had terrible food at a deli, I flew to Bahrain. Nice airport, more flips. I flew to Amsterdam, and bought the baby some Miffy stuff, which is a Dutch cartoon that she likes that is 50 years old and just started showing in the US in the last year or so. It's ultra-cute, I can see it knocking Hello kitty on her ass, cuz Miffy has a mouth and a dope themesong.
There was absinthe, which I steered away from, and porno everywhere, and I was just in the airport. THere was a photorealist art gallery in the style of Rembrandt, but he sucks. I had a flapjack, which I had read about in herbivore magazine, which are not pancakes, but yummy vegan shortbreadish oat bars. There was evian in aerosol cans, for body moisturizer. I looked for some tattoo magazines, but was overwhelmed by all the exposed flesh at the book stores that I had to run away.
K-den, Amsterdam to LAX. Longest flight ever? I think perhaps, but KLM is my fave new Airline, they had me ad "Vegetarian breakfast sandwich or non?" Not "vegetarian or normal" or "*SIGH* vegetarian sandwhich or normal people sandwich?", but veg was the norm. It's nice to feel included. I watched that documentary "PUNK:Attitude"
which featured interviews and archival footage of Agnostic Front, the Sex Pistols, The CLash, The Damned, the MC5, Ramones, Bad Brains, everyone everyone everyone, it even featured different scenes and subgenres, including no-wave, post punk, 2Tone, hardcore (my favourite part: Henry Rollins explaining hardcore's birth over a montage of Agnostic Front and Cro-Mags "you know that one guy, the 'f*ck yeah' guy, well, hardcore was when HE started HIS band") Straight Edge, the DC scenes, early hiphop, it was great. Then I watched Little Brittain, which I love, and the food was good.
blah blah blah LA sucks.
Hawaii. I'm home, I'm here, I get to the house...
the rest is for later.
night night.
