But on my 2nd segment, it was just a regular airplane again, maybe because it didn't look all that great in the dark and it didn't have the "newness" to it anymore. There was a 777 running IAH-LAX next to my Dreamliner gate at Houston, I was debating going over and switching to that, and in hindsight, I should have in order to get home earlier.

I think my first long-haul on the plane will still get me excited
Well we'll see if I have those same second segment feelings. I'm booked today on UA33 from ORD and I even got CPU'd overnight. Really hoping the weather doesn't mess up this itinerary.
