there are men walking around terminal 1 at heathrow holding machine guns, their fingers on the triggers. i wonder if this is necessary?

the staff here pronounce los angeles as los angeleeeeze, not the correct way of los angelessss. i hope no one misses their flight because of this mispronunciation.

when the guy at security asked everyone to remove their keys from their pockets, i realized that i don’t possess a single key. i turned the key to my flat in this morning and now i’m homeless for the next five weeks. rootless. free as a bird. i know i’m supposed to be reforming my vagabond self, but i may as well enjoy this while i can. [i find it mildly intoxicating.]

because i’m homeless, i have a lot of luggage. this is a heads up to those of you who will be picking me up from various airports. i didn’t even try to pack light because i knew i would fail. i’m not quite sure how i made it to the airport this morning all by myself. when i got to the russell square station, the guy who opened the gate for me said “you’ll survive somehow, don’t worry.”

on the platform, i ran into a rather chatty guy heading home to denver. he asked me whether my stay in london had been business or pleasure.

how am i supposed to answer that?

   A few songs come to mind…

   “Aint’no sunshine when she’s gone…”

   and

   “The Thrill is Gone”…

   (hopefully not for long)
