Snacks to Pack for the Plane

Ilinap · April 12, 2011 ·

Gone are the days of high class air travel. On a recent cross country American Airlines flight we didn't even get a packet of peanuts. By the time the steel cart made its way to me in row 26, the ever so friendly Audrey sneered as she pranced by announcing that all the sandwiches … [Read more...] about Snacks to Pack for the Plane

Flying High

Ilinap · April 7, 2011 ·

I don't know how he does it. But I'm pretty sure he's way happier than stiff smile Audrey on American Airlines (who suck more each time I fly). There's something special in the air alright.

Nintendo 3DS – OMG

Ilinap · April 4, 2011 ·

The Beach and Bad Words

Ilinap · March 28, 2011 ·

What mesmerizes me about the ocean is that it never stops. You cannot measure time by something eternal. The ocean dances to the metronome of the moon in a paradox of grace and rage. As we squished sand between our toes on our weekend beach getaway, I was once again moved by the … [Read more...] about The Beach and Bad Words

Jamaican Creamsicle – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · January 28, 2011 ·

I have never been to Jamaica. I have been caught red handed (red tongued?)licking a creamsicle scented candle. I quite accidentally captured these two non sequitors in my brain tonight. Somehow as other thoughts and ideas floated and whizzed along my noggin superhighway, … [Read more...] about Jamaican Creamsicle – 5:00 Fridays
