the plane ride last night was interesting. it was the emptiest plane ive ever been on, maybe a third full. so i had three seats to myself. i read my book during take off then shut the lightoff and was in and out of consciousness the rest of the ride. the plane ride seemed like it only took a couple hours.
then eventually i woke up as we were beginning our descent. the last 20 minutes of the descent were excruciating. my ears hadnt been popping and i hadnt been adjusting to the pressure and i didnt have any gum and i got pressure sickness or whatever its called (i dont feel like googling it right now).
it was awful. it felt like my eyes were gonna pop out of my head or that my brain was gonna explode or that my cranium was about to be cracked. not an enjoyable sensation. i was freaking out. i nearly asked a flight attendant for some help. i realized that the lady next to me had some gum as we touched down, but it was too late. i took a couple aleve and drank some water and eventually felt better, but wow i do not want to experience that again.
unfortunately i left my book on the plane. its ok though, ive had it for like a year plus it feels like and its a cheap paperback so i think i'm gonna order a new one. here's a link to it though in, it's good critical reading, and i'm a sucker for coetzee.
Inner Workings: Literary Essays 2000-2005: J. M. Coetzee
