Back from Hiatus

So, I just came back from Spring Break (which is why I haven't written anything. Too busy relaxing & doing fun things like going to the mall...). Here are some semi-random notes:

1- So, Expedia lied to me. I was supposed to be flying on United the whole way to VT, but that is not how it ended up. My first flight ended up as a United flight operated by Continental Airlines, which was annoying for several reasons. 1) I couldn't check in online because my confirmation code didn't work and so I had to wait in line at the airport which I otherwise wouldn't have had to do because I didn't check any bags. 2) The Houston airport. Pretty much the worst place to have to transfer from Continental to United. After landing, you have to walk a while to get to the tram-thing to take to terminal B. Then from the tram thing you have to do even more walking to get to the bus to terminal A. And the bus is SUPER slow. By the time I got to my gate, it was about time to board, and I had started off with almost an hour! So, I didn't have time to get any food. Hmph. Houston.

2- Aren't lay overs-transfers interesting? I find it super weird that it's cheaper to fly through 2 airports than to take a direct flight (doesn't 3 take-offs & all that's related take more gas or whatever than 1 flight? I don't know. It's just silly). Anyways, it's even weirder when the lay over makes no sense. When I was trying to check on my Continental flight, I first asked it to find flights going from my home airport in SoCal to TX (before I realized there's a special check flight status section). So, one of the available flights was to fly from Southern California to Houston through NEW JERSEY! Tell me how that makes sense? Airlines are silly. Another less weird but still silly one is one that someone on my plane apparently had. Texas to LAX through Chicago!

3- I watched Bambi today! (In the library because I wasn't allowed to take it out of the library. Hmph). It was pretty cute, but I don't know. It's plot-line, so to speak, is really just his life from a newborn to becoming the new prince of the forest (or so it would seem). Anyways, here are some interesting notes from the movie:

*Is it just me, or does child Bambi seem to have a country accent?

*I didn't know that Bambi was born a prince (just not the chief prince or whatever). I wonder if he ever wondered why he was called "little prince." I mean when he see who we presume to be his dad for the first time, he doesn't know who he is, so...?

*Awww, the little baby animals are so cute!

*Wow, Disney must not have liked hunters at all. Between The Fox and the Hound and Bambi, hunters are kind of represented as the root of all evil. In Bambi, the hunter (or hunters. You don't see any humans in the film, but there's likely more than one, I'd guess) is responsible for killing Bambi's mom, terrorizing all the animals in the forest with their guns and vicious dogs, and being careless (which leads to his/their campfire to spread to the forest and send all the animals running for their lives).

Here's a Bambi shirt I got in Spain....(technically a PJ shirt, but nobody knows...but you...now)
