december 18th, 2009 (because i'm too tired for a real title)

so i am somewhere in the state of new york, and i have been trying to take a proper nap for over two hours now. clearly i have failed at this endeavor thus far. i decided to creep back through the train a couple cars under the pretext of getting food. truly, i simply wanted to ogle people and watch them. i arrive at the food car and browse the menu hoping to find something excusably kosher to eat or drink. the four granola bars i brought "just in case" are now 3/4 remaining. For a brief handful of time i consider asking the steward if there is any vodka available for purchase. Why? Because i spotted red bull on the menu. After weighing various individual reactions, as well as the most likely responses, i heave a sigh of sadness and settle on a coffee. Black, no sugar or cream of course because how crazy am i to expect a form of modification to my heavily over priced under sized and quite disgusting to be frank self-proclaimed "cup of coffee".
     I find a table to myself and sit down to see the sights while attempting to digest this liquid goo. "The sights" turned out to be trees with snow, snow with trees, and a wide variety of combinations therein. I select a sugar packet and attempt to shake it so i may displace the internal contents and open the device with minimal spillage. Instead the afore mentioned product flew across the room and landed quite professionally on the table in front of another lady. stepping over to her table i said, "pardon me, i believe my sugar packet flew over to your table instead of doing what told it to". She smiled and quickly replied, "well you could have just sat down but i suppose that is another way to introduce yourself".
     I believe i have forgotten my irritation with the elderly gentleman who decided the seat next to mine is best served by his sitting there, rather than my already established decision to place my sleeping body upon it.
