But flying tests my ability to cope with confined spaces filled with people.
That can bother me. The worst is at the end of the flight, when everyone stands up and is crowded in the aisle waiting for the door to open. *shudder*

Yeah, what is that? It's like 'the last person to leave the plane is the rotten egg' game. You're all going to the same place, what's the difference?
Although, I usually take that opportunity to snag one of the first class flight kits. You can never have too many pairs of socks or sleep masks.
I actually quite enjoy flying and I don't even mind the airport, it's the waiting... waiting in the terminal, waiting on the runway, etc. that makes me agitated and annoyed.
Taking the train for long periods, on the other hand, is what I imagine hell to be like. I once got stuck on a train from Metropark (in NJ) to Charlotte, NC that took 18 hours (twice the normal time of the trip) due to mechanical problems and it was so confining and the staff was far less accommodating than I've had airlines be when there is a delay. I would rather fly 18 hours than be on a train that long.
That said, I doubt I would be able afford to travel anywhere requiring an airplane just to see a play.
Since we're having so much fun relaying our travel nightmares, let me add for the record that last year British Airways lost my suitcase full of my good clothes (needed for Xmas and NYE) and Christmas gifts and it took them three weeks to find and deliver it to me. Of course by then I was already back from my break and back at work. Nice one, BA!
Back to the thread topic: yay, Raúl!
Does anybody recall reading or hearing an interview with Raúl where he mentions he's allergic to cats, and that his mother has several at home?
I could swear I read/heard that somewhere, but the way my brain has been behaving lately I could easily have dreamed it (which would figure, what with my dream about Leap of Faith last night...).
Anybody?

Give me a minute to catch my breath.
My heavens, the man is in his prime!
And you all thought he was too skinny...

Yeah, I still can't get over how skinny he is... He's handsome, but so darn thin.

Well....he IS still too skinny, but somehow he manages to carry it off well. And at least he went and got some clothes that FIT!
(Sorry I keep obsessing about his clothing. I can't help it; it's the costumer in me. )
Serial killers need to be buff. It's all that chasing people through the woods with heavy chainsaws and machetes.
He's a dead serial killer. I don't think zombies concern themselves with how they look?

Not that I know any serial killers personally, but I always picture them creepy thin for some reason! Oh Raul, eat a cupcake please.
Maybe he's a skinny serial killer because he's dead. Zombies don't eat, after all...do they?
Or maybe he's just too busy serial killing to take time to eat...
It just occurred to me that I am both repeating myself AND making no sense at the same time this morning. Sheesh.
For extra creepiness and ease, maybe he could eat his victims? :)
Going on an all-victims diet might slim one down a bit...
Hold on, I'll just go check with one of my zombie friends. Since I have the power of cold-calling anybody, duh.
I still think he looks really great, and not at all alarmingly thin.
