We’ve been waiting in Heathrow Airport since 11:50ish this morning. I’m actually uncertain as to what day it is…jk. Since leaving Chicago Saturday evening, the flight was for 9 pm or 21:00, it was a longer than it seemed airplane ride into London because we were going forward in time. Seriously, we lost some hours there over the Atlantic!
I wrote an entry on Tuesday earlier this week talking about our family reunion in Yellowstone National Park, which I have tons of photos from and I’ll have to upload them on Facebook or something, but my mom opened a separate window and logged into her e-mail so when I went to post the entry it got erased and told me to log-in under my name. So sad, too bad, I’m too lazy to re-write it after that.
Whatever, time for a movie review because that’s the only interesting thing around here. Both John and I saw Fast Five on the plane. I have to say since I hadn’t seen the four previous movies John later told me existed I felt that all the characters were under developed and the plot was spotty. The fight scenes seemed really fake, it was hard to tell the difference between certain peoples’ minions, and I just couldn’t believe any of the car stunts, at all, although I guess the muscled guys, awesome cars, and beautiful women were there to make up for the rest of the film. There was a point where some drug lord’s guys are shooting at the three main characters (who are street racers, car thieves, and an FBI Agent turned traitor, so they’re the ‘bad guys’ too) and the FBI/police are also there, armed with machine guns as well, to take in the main characters and I couldn’t tell which side was which for some of the fight; it looked like people were shooting their own side. In the end the main characters and their friends made off with the money and lived happy lives.
We’ve almost made it and by 6 tomorrow morning we’ll be in Lusaka, Zambia, home sweet home for the next two years.
