i've seen both sides of the clouds now

for real. that's what neil diamond just sang to me. i think that it was neil diamond. hearing him reminds me of my terribly funny escapade as a synchronized swimmer in 1983. for our opening sequence, we entered the pool for our first number to neil diamond "(they are coming to) america!"

gosh, that was weird that i did that. i wish that i had some pictures from them because they must be hilarious.

i am so restless. i want to make like jbw and do some in-flight yoga, but there are far too many south asians on the plane. and, somehow, i can only imagine what kind of mixed up white girl i would look like if i attempted an inversion or vinyasa sequence in my "black is beautiful" t shirt and black gouchos. me turned upside down in flight -- what a sight.

i was obligated to wear this t-shirt given the last time i flew this airline i got into a verbal alteraction with a male flight attendant who was using racial and racist epithets in the galley loudly while we began our descent. that was messed up.
