Finally in NZ

Sports Thought: Watched about the first twenty minutes of the H-O-R-S-E contest while I was waiting to board in Houston, aaaaaand...it was boring. As expected. It started to get good when O.J. went into the audience stands and made a shot, but then I got on the plane. So who knows where it went from there.
Food Find: Really saw the evolution of airplane food on this trip. First leg was a Continental flight from Houston to LAX, which served these disgusting cheeseburgers (I assume, I passed on them) with an iceberg lettuce salad and probably some candy. Then I was on Air Pacific from LAX to Fiji, but they were leasing a plane from United, and got United food instead. This was a choice between beef and chicken, so I went with chicken. It was like a stir-fry TV dinner, with chicken, teriyaki sauace, rice, carrots, and peas. Plus a salad that was just romaine lettuce, a roll, and this thing called an oatmeal chew, which was basically a really soft, oblong, oatmeal cookie. There was breakfast too, which was pancakes filled with raisins and apples, weird sausage, AND banana bread. That's a lot of sweet breads. Then came the king of all, the actual Air Pacific flight, from Fiji to Auckland. It came on a tray (classy); the entree was a foil box containing an omelette, hash brown, sausage, marinara sauce (?), and corn (??). There was orange juice in a little mug, mixed fruit (pineapple, pears, apricot, peaches), a strawberry yogurt, and a little spice roll with authentic New Zealand butter. Plus a hot towel.
America Watch: I've seen Wisconsin Burgers, Hollywood Espresso, and Texan Art School. The last one is really perplexing, because it was mostly just a jewelry store. But the Hollywood and Texas stores show that they're really targeting their marketing at me.
New Zealand is cool because: The little walk man on the pedestrian walkways is animated!
New Zealand is weird because: At the grocery store, they kept the dog food refrigerated and the eggs not!!

Ok there's more, but the battery is dying, so that's the best I can do.
