After I climb the chill mountain's steep stone paths,
Deep in the white clouds there are homes of men.

OCD: Day 2 / Beijing

Thirteen hours on a plane rolls by quickly when you time your Ambien intake. Take one half an hour after taking off, and the second the moment you wake up. So in essence you are really only conscious for 45 minutes.
