The city of Los Angeles, LA for short. I don’t know how the trend of calling LA “lala land” originated, but I hate it. This isn’t lala land, call it LA.

That is all.

I am super excited that the Olympics have started, but I have to say I was disappointed by the opening ceremonies.

Did you catch tonight’s Olympics Opening Ceremonies? I was bored out of my mind. Sure there were some high points like projected Orcas swimming across the stage and the mind boggling hair of that opera singer… but the rest? come on.

I wanted excitement and impossible daring feats. I got a poet from youtube and a boy twirling in the air performing “can you see the wind.” Is this the impression you wanted the world to have, Canada? Is this what you wanted me to take away from the opening ceremonies? Boredom?

Should have used the Disney Epcot Pavillion sound track (Oh Canada, you’re a lifetime journey for the traveler) or the whole attraction would have been fine also.

I wonder if there is a transcript of the speech the CEO gave, which was a series of lists combined to form a speech.

Regardless, the torch is lit and the games have commenced! Can’t wait to watch the events!!

I flew US Airways recently and… it was pretty lame. The plane was new, which was nice, but had 0 entertainment options. 5+ hours of nothingness. No TV, No cheesy air radio, No movies… nothing. Also, NO peanuts or pretzels.

I also flew delta recently. They had satellite TV, a wide range of movies and TV shows, radio, games, AND pretzels / cookies. Sure their plane was a little older, but at least I was entertained the whole time.

Oh, and the first US Airways plane I got on had a crack in the cargo area so we needed to take another plane… on-time flight Fail.
