| Friday, June 24, 2005 So Te-haas is pretty... I dunno. American? sure. It reminds me a lot of Florida - flat, humid, hot, southern. But it's not that bad. Em and I had fun today. Went to Target, a sandwich place, a vintage store, a coffee house, an IHOP, and saw Land of the Dead. Oh, and watched a lot of scrubs. I have write about this, as I thought it was a humorous observation of sorts. On the flight over here, there was a little boy sitting in front of me. It was pretty apparent that he'd never flown before. Even though he was asian, Thai I think, and his family was speaking to him in a foreign language, it was pretty easy to decipher that they were explaining what was going to happen to him. And then we started moving, and every shake or odd sound, he would make a whining-squealing noise, like kids do when they're scared. And as we took off, same thing - he'd freak out, just a little, at every noise or sharp turn. But here's the part I found interesting as an observation of human behavior in general. Even though he was very obviously terrified for a moment, he was glued to the window, watching the ocean below us. It's weird that, as part of our nature, if something frightens us, that we have to look at it and examine what is going on, even at a young age. Sorry if that was boring, but I found it interesting... ass... posted at 2:00 AM
