Fri 5:32pm PST

On the plane-just finished watching Julie and Julia (again) and thought it was totally cute; I might have teared up with Julia got the news that she was going to be published. The sun set a while ago since we are flying eastward.

Brought the manual for my D300 and started reading it (about time that I learned how to actually use it) also listening/watching Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Fri 7:58pm PST

You’re on the phone with your girlfriend; she’s upset. She’s going off on something you said cause she doesn’t get your humor like I do.

Still reading the camera manual. Page 148: Selecting Nikon Picture Controls. My camera is set to vivid. I’ve also tweaked all the other settings on the camera and I am happy that I’ll be doing something besides pointing and shooting and praying.

Harry Potter ended the same way that I remember. Got a little misty eyed at the end when **spoiler** Dumbledore is killed.

I am going to try and read for a little bit instead of watching the next movie, although, since we are only 3-ish hours away from Germany I won’t fight sleeping if start to nod off.

Oh, also did some design work on a webpage which I actually like. Need to come up with something to do with it. Hmm.

Fri 9:15pm PST

Fell asleep while reading but was woken up by turbulence shaking the plane. Scary.

The big tav display says we are about 37 thousand feet and the stars outside are really amazing. I wish I could see the moon from where I am but I can’t. All the clouds below us being lit by the moon.

More turbulence.

Buckling up and seeing if I can fall back to sleep.

My body has made it very clear that the hour of sleep I got earlier was, in fact, a disco nap and  I am now wide awake. Joy.

The sun started to rise (or did we chase it down?) a few minutes ago and I took a couple of photos. None of them are very good due to the low light. We were passing over some cities for a few minutes and the pictures I took of the lights actually came out pretty cool.

I can see some more lights down below but they look more like boats…I can see a coastline off in the distance (I think that would be to the south or southwest of where we are currently.

Lights in the cabin just came back on, breakfast time!
