Thursday

Well, here I am at LAX again. I’m getting to be a pro at this air travel thing, but I have been irreprably spoiled by Air France. I’m on plain old Delta today, with “food for purchase”, no free booze and movie screens on the seat backs that charge $6.00 to watch the movies (plus $2.00 for headphones if you don’t have your own) or play cheapo games like “Bejeweled”. I’m surprised they don’t charge for seat belts.

On my way through the metal detector, I let a cute skinny rocker guy ahead of me because he was close to missing his flight. The x-ray man noticed my (tight, as usual) black tshirt with big white letters spelling “NIN” across the chest. “How do you pronounce it?” he asked.  “Nine Inch Nails”, I said, suppressing an amused smile. “It’s a
Klezmer band.” Rocker boy and I exchanged big smiles as we put our shoes back on. He looked back twice at me as we made our ways to our gates, but I certianly have np time for boys right now.

Of course, for those who don’t know, I’m on my way to New Orleans (by way of Cincinatti) to perform in the 10th anniversary spectacular of The Vagina Monologues at the Superdome. I am thrilled, yet a little apprehensive. All the recent traveling has left me feeling (if not looking) a little haggard. All this travel food isn’t making it easy
to maintain my size 0 figure (or was that size 10?) And I only get
two days to enjoy this experience. What if I miss something? Omg! I’m such a nervous Nelly.
