So, I personally vanquished the ash cloud and made it out of the country.
First flight (ADL to SIN) was fucked gay. I was in an extra leg room row but surrounded by idiots. The little kid behind me kicked my chair the whole way and then projectile vomited on it.
I bought a bobbi brown blush in Singapore airport which is the wrong shade for me. I don't know why I bought it.
Singapore to Helsinki flight was somewhat better except I got seated next to some young Lithuanian guy who obviously thought he was in with a fighting chance and fucking chewed my ear off until i groaned loudly and put my headphones on. He tried to interrupt me to talk more and make me drink with him because he was bored so I had to get blunt with him. It was awkward for a while. Then I took a temazepam and went to sleep so that was ok. Also, the food on Finnair is quite good AND the seating is 2 - 4 - 2, which is great - except if you are one of the two and the other one of the two is a Lithuanian retard.
Movies watched so far:
-In Her Shoes. I cried so much, I don't know why. I was watching this while the kid was vomiting so it was probably a combination of the vomit and the movie.
-Hall Pass. This was funnier than I thought it would be but still not very funny.
-Say Anything. Still one of my faves, so sweet, so lovely. Lloyd Dobbler I would totally do you in your sky blue malibu whilst listening to Peter Gabriel. The reason I first watched this movie years ago was because of Ione Skye and my obsessive love for the Beastie Boys and her being married to "Adrock" etc. Wikipedia has just informed me that she is now married to Ben Lee. So...that's weird.
-What Happens in Vegas. This was a mistake, redeemed slightly by the presence of Jack Galifianakis. Let's not discuss this further.
I took this photo of Finland from the plane just now. It is a really, really pretty place:
Flying to Stockholm now for a couple of days of midsummer festivities and then the conference.
Peace out forevs.
