Social Faux Pas

I just found out that our new driver was a nurse. In a hospital in India. He used to drive ambulances too. Now that explains a lot about his driving! He swerves and slides through the lanes like there was no tomorrow! Now I'll have to tell him that there isn't a green light flashing above the car and I'm not suffering from a hemorrhage to be driven with that fast! He also has another talent, other than reckless driving, which is driving with the side brake on! He drove back from the shalaih with the side brake on, the whole way. Apparently, the brake was completely destroyed. Way to go nurse!

In a more serious note, my bag is like a fat lady in a superglued corset. No breathing space, at all! I've done considerably better than past vacations, but it's all because of my handbags! If I could take one with me on the plane, my fat lady bag would breathe easy, but unfortunately I can't! That means I can't listen to music on my iPod, I can't sleep without listening to my songs! I hope I sit next to someone interesting to test my conversational skills on. I love talking to strangers, I find them refreshing for some reason. I just hope I get a reclining seat this time, last time I traveled I got a seat that was dysfunctional, I couldn't lean back! I wanted to sleep so bad but I couldn't, I crawled up in a ball and put my head on the arm rest, sad? I know, I teared up for a bit too, just a lil bit :P And then when I landed, it miraculously swung back without me touching it! A seven hour flight and NOW it gets the message? Evil.

So, I'm going to try to design my 'transparent bag' in an unconventional way in a few hours, I'm going to hold it with style! I guess I'm going to pleat it on the sides and create a base so it doesn't look like a sandwich bag :P
