It takes 7 days to install the cable TV

so i made it after a long journey. got to jfk on thursday morning at 3a only to learn the terminal doesn't open til 4a. i'd recommend not making that mistake. i ended up napping in the area near where the airtrain operates. i wasn't the only one it was pretty weird. nothing like that 3-3:45a naptime with friends. i wasn't really expecting that to happen but hey, thanks super shuttle for letting me have that experience! apparently if the terminal door is open, it's good enough for the driver to make me get out of his van. i guess for $20 door-to-door you can't expect much.

i slept during almost every minute of the flight to sfo (bulkhead, bitches!) not that it would have mattered as i remember neither taking off nor landing. i guess that airtrain nap didn't do much. had a sweet layover in sfo where i saw this in the duty free area....



not sure how that makes sense but we'll run with it. i was also pretty disappointed to learn that the taxi drivers at sfo want $30 round trip to take me to in-n-out which according to some inside sources is no more than a 5 minute drive. perhaps i should return to sanfrancisco and start driving a taxi. seems like a lucrative business.

that being said, ceteris parabis, i got on a 14+ hour flight to hkg sitting next to a slightly overweight asian woman who likes to sleep with her legs wide open. inviting isn't the word i'd use to describe the situation. apparently the movie lineup wasn't designed for me (in order:)

• http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455805/
• http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0846308/
• http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0811080/

that's right. kit fucking kittredge. classic film. 14 hours on a plane and those are the (only) movies we get. sitting next to an open-legged-sleeping-overweight asian woman. sweet!

needless to say i got to hong kong, found my friends' apt and am doing ok. yesterday's goal was to get my blackberry to work and that was a success thanks to my main man maxx. so bbm me @ 2458748b if you're down and we can chat. email is good too. i got an hk number which is 9736 3152 which per my selection has the same first five digits as my us number. oh yea. it's almost as good as sandy's mobile number having the same last 4 digits as her home number. we know how to live.

now all i have to do is find a place to live for the next three months. i've been e-mailing with dorothy at one of the service apartments in causeway bay and she says she can find me whatever i need. but if i want cable, i need to give her a week's notice. the currency exchange is pretty good so far. dorothy wants $20/month extra for cable which it looks like i can swing.

if you know anyone in hong kong, or you want to, let me know. i have nothing but time on my side and i'm looking to hang out. this is what i'm looking at right now.....
