wandering london heathrow

i am at terminal one trying to type on one of those messed up kiosk keyboards. this keyboard is definitely going to last a long time but it is really quite difficult to type on, which means this is not going to be a very long post.
the flight from victoria left late. (thx air canada).
i arrived at YVR and there was an announcement on the main speakers for me. a bit excited, i went to my departure gate to retrieve my message.
they had double sold my seat. (thx british airways)
so i was on standby. i watched the beginning of the hockey game and they sorted me an isle seat which turned out to be a blessing in disguise, sort of. i was sitting beside this guy who was much too large for his own seat and was having a lot of trouble manouevering. i helped him get things in order, watched ‘big fish’ which was ‘okay’ while having half decent wine. this was all i needed in order to pass out on the flight, which i did! big accomplishment for me — if i was sitting beside the window, i would have been staring out the whole time.
the flight from vancouver was surprisingly short for a 9.5 hour flight.
i am wandering around heathrow terminal one and shooting the occassional shot. a few minutes ago i was waiting in line for .. er i mean i was queueing at weatherspoon’s food express when this lady just walked in front of me and decided that she could just go in front of me. british == good manners? not all the time. i gave her plenty of opportunity to rescind her position but she couldn’t even make eye contact with me. instead she made some rather poor small talk with the person ahead of her in line about what the world was coming to after we were all advised about a short delay of service.
i see the canucks took the oilers to skool last night, which means they have successfully defeated the super high payrolled colorado team for first place in the division. i think that also means edmonton didn’t make the playoffs this year, which is too bad because i like their style of hockey. unfortunately, that style isn’t yet polished — think an incubating avalanche or canucks style team. good passing, highly offensive. anyway.. good news for the canucks! waahoo!
getting some comments and looks on my hair. leah re-styled it yesterday. dunno what i am going to do without her — she’s the best stylist to ever have touched my cranky hair. she is moving to terrace this month.
later this afternoon i will be flying to aberdeen.
travelling light is an underrated experience.
