Once Upon a Time in Japan: Flight back home.

So i got up around 730am and that allowed me enough time to make the train with about 10 minutes to spare. We took off an headed for the airport. Around the second stop, we picked up lots of people. I got to the airport around 11am. I checked into my flight no problem and had to spend the rest of the time killing time. I tooled around on the internet and talked to Yumi on the fone. I managed to kill the time and make it to my flight with about 20 minutes to spare.
The line up for the plan was a disaster. They were calling out the row#s like they usually do, but there was just this giant blob. So, the guy that checked me in showed up, and boy, I hope the airlines pay him well because that guy is very talented with languages. He speaks Mandarin, English, and Japanese fluently. He has a slight chinese accent to his english, since he was chinese. He was very skilled. Im sure he could get lots of money in jobs with his skills. He basically herded everyone into the correct areas.
The flight home was 11 hours. I tried to sleep. I had a little pillow, one of those eye masks and earplugs, but I was always attentive. I was resting and trying to sleep, hopefully that was good enuff. That was for like maybe a total of 3 hours throughout the ride.
I ended up watching Herbie: Fully Loaded. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. It did what it was supposed to do. However, the second movie I watched, was just utter crap. XXX: State of the Union. I was just appalled at how bad it was. I really just want to ask the director: Lee Tamahori, and the writers: Rich Wilkes and Simon Kinberg....WTF were you thinking? Did you actually thing this was a good thing? It was utter crap. I had so much more thought up to talk about this ,but I realized how much i would talk about this utter crap and realize it was just a waste of time. This movie sucks. Its worse than the first one, if thats possible.
After that load was finished, I looked at the Chinese guy next to me, held out a thumbs down and gave a rasberry, he laughed and said, "Yeah, that movie was shit." I'm serious. he said that!
I then tried to sleep.
When I took off my mask, they were wrapping up "March of the Penguins" The one film I wanted to watch. Damnit!
I finally got home. Gettnig thru the customs checkpoint was easy this time, however, getting my baggage wasn't. The machinese weren't working properely so the luggage wasn't coming off. And because of this, there was a huge line at the bag checkpoint.
My mom was waiting for me and my dad was circling. We headed out. I had pizza for dinner, it was yummy but overcooked.
Well, goodnite. I am really really really tired.
