The hour of my flight is approaching. And yet, there are no pre-flight jitters. Perhaps because this isn't the first time crossing the Atlantic. Or parhaps because the grand scope of things hasn't dawned on me yet.
Regardless, I am sitting at the terminal writing this in hand because of the horrible battery life on my laptop. (also, internet is 60 DKR/hour at Kastrup. Fuck. That. Shit.)
This is probably the part where I'm supposed to wax poetic about the nature of "the journey" and how this is the first step of my soon to be epic travels. Perhaps, even abuse that H.C. Andersen quote about how "to travel is to live" (ooops, too late...)
Perhaps there is something to that. I mean, there's confusion on how to get there, lots of standing around waiting and if you stop, well, you stop living.

Wednessday 29th, Washinngton state.
After a non -eventfull flight I arrive tired and hungry to Seattle. After the brief pleasantries costums, where the costums officer reminded me that I was in fact bringing no gifts what so ever (gee thanks thanks alot, officer), after swiftly picking up my luggage I was picked up by Steve (from Sociocide) he recognized me instantly and took my picture.
After finding his car we navigated the traffic and the sveltering heat (it's 39 C). Traffic was slow, but this was only because 2 women decided to paint each other's toenails in the center lane on the freaking freeway.
Steve's reaction:
We were in agreement..
After dropping of my stuff at his place, we vent to a bar for food, beer and grub. Being as I was exessivly hungry, that last part really had much appeal.
Two delicious beers and one delicious burger later, it was pool time. Two of the tables were broken, and after our third game (in which I won 2 to 1 by sheer chutzpa and luck) that table also started acting weird. So we decided to just to mess around.

This lead to many beers and me passing out on his futon
I am glad to be in the States
