Cheating again...

To avoid jet lag, I deprived myself of sleep on Friday night and during the plane trip. Well, I did get to sleep once on the plane, but having the aisle seat proved to be an insurmountable hazard when nature called for the aforementioned elderly Korean woman. Maybe that two seconds of sleep was when we went through the wormhole, like in that Steven King book "Four Past Midnight." But without the whole people disappearing bit. And without the scary monsters and without Al from Quantum Leap.

Getting through Immigration was easy enough. Haven't been to China or Hong Kong so not such a big SARS risk. It is interesting to see a lot of people wearing the masks.

I now know what it feels like to be from Alabama. I can't read a damned thing unless it is written in Japanese AND English. I really feel for those inbred bastards now. At least everything can be communicated in numbers at Talladega. #8 in first?!? Go Lil' E!! 2,474 laps to go!!

After conking out at 6 pm local time, I woke up at midnight (11 am on hometown schedule). Couldn't go back to sleep and sure as hell couldn't tell what they were talking about on television. It was slightly amusing to make up my own dialogue "Kung Pow Style." Would've been more fun with another person to make up responses. Finally fell asleep again at 3. Not much to write about when Delta steals half of your day.
