hm. i'm not sure, i forget the context of the story. surely he wasn't about to die just yet? but i don't know.

yeah, and i mean, i'm pretty clearly not a talker. sometimes i just put on headphones to give people a hint. i'll say a few words, but unless the person is unusually interesting, i don't really want to hear more. but then, i've also had a few unusually bad experiences w/ talkative people. one girl who just broke up with her boyfriend, the businessman who knew everything about china like how to get to tourist destinations from a Hilton without speaking chinese, and some nebraskan woman who wanted to know what linguistics was and though it could help people with speech problems...in recent memory, anyway.

oooh, comfy seats. if my parents weren't united frequent fliers, i would so switch.
