Well, I'm in Seattle, hanging out at Brantai's place. I've made a point to, somewhere, write my thoughts on what's going on and get some 35mm film, because the camera that ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
viski had gotten me is still significantly better then the cheap digital camera I had access to, even if the digital was easier to upload.
I've got a journal, a blog, and a camera. So there.
The flight was both awesome and dull. I love flying, but it's not the experience it was. It's a third of a cup of soda and a tiny bag of peanuts, and the stewardess thought she was a comedian. But by and large, everything went smoothly and I even got a chance to grab a bite to eat in the terminal. We mostly flew over farmland, which is interesting in that it's laid out in giant squares, many of which are squaring a massive circle so that the ground below resembles more a child's collection of spilt Pogs then any kind of amber wave of grain. As we approached Denver, it was mostly just flat and brown, but crossing the mountains was really impressive. Giant, gray-brown peaks with snowy crevasses, I really had no sense of scale because there was nothing to compare them to but other, smaller mountains. The cabin grew chilly and I noted the mountains seemed much closer then the buildings we left had since takeoff.
Landing in the area was mostly the same as landing everywhere. The same chain restaurants in the terminals and the same struggling with baggage claim as some 10 yr. old inevitably climbs on the turnstile that say "Do Not Climb". I received a warm welcome from from everyone, and he took today off so he could hang out and get me acclimated to the area. I haven't seen much of the area, but the apartment is really nice, and it seems pretty pleasent, so I'm looking forward to getting around.
The downside? I finished Idoru long before I made it to Seattle, so I exhausted my computers batteries reading Exalted books, then had to read the in-flight magazine. >_>
