Woke at 3 AM. Uploaded photos to Flickr. Realized that I had forgotten to request non-feather pillows, so I had accidentally slept with a feather bedding—no immediate bad reactions. Beverages: fruity juice, sparkling mineral water. Packed. Black car service to Köln-Bonn Flughaven airport because trains did not run early enough: 33.60 euros, I rounded up to 36, paid in cash. (He accepted credit card but said there was a 5-euro surcharge for credit card payments). Snack at Red Bar in the terminal: small cheese and egg sandwich, mint tisane. Orange juice on the flight. Amsterdam Schilpol airport. Changed euros to US dollars. We learn our flight is delayed by 1 hour. After 1 hour we learn our flight is delayed by 2 hours. During this time I watch The Truman Show on my MacBook Air. This is the first time I watch a feature film on my laptop. I love the experience. The delay ends up being nearly 3 hours. Flight. Watched The Cabin in the Woods. Nice coincidental pairing with The Truman Show. Watched The Avengers, Jurassic Park: The Lost World. Switched to my MacBook Air and watched Ten Angry Men. Patrick retrieved me from the airport. Home. Shower. Did a bit of unpacking, slept until midnight.
