Doom Doom Doooooooom

I just like that title.

So yeh, my little holiday vacation ended in a horrid plane trip home full of headache and uber uncomfortable seats. Teresa got to watch Hairspray on the trip from Seattle to Anchorage. I tried but the pluggies on my seat sucked, and the volume on Skyefoils was way too high for somebody who has an entire construction team of headache gnomes building a skyscraper behind his left eyeball.

I'd like to say the following things Continental Airlines

1. You're flight safety video is still VHS? Its worn out and whenever the CEO of Continental Airlines says "Highest Quality" the video starts to wiggle and freak out.
2. You're pilots forgot to turn off the trim assessment instruments, or maybe it was just some very powerful transponder interference. It was making a wonderful "beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep bip bip bip bip beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep" noise in the onboard audio provided to passengers. Congrats again on super high quality customer services.
3. On the first flight the pilots decided to wig out the passengers a bit by failing to regulate the pressure properly during decent. My tooth almost exploded out of my jaw, or at least it felt like it wanted to. On the second flight the pressure was regulated just enough to sustain my wonderful headache.
4. When you say "Is an exit row ok?" what you should really ask is "The exit row is next to our three most accessed toilets, and everybody ate beans for lunch... oh and the light in the ceiling of each toilet is about as bright as the Sun, especially when you just want to sleep. Is that OK?"

I could probably go on and on.. I payed a lot for these fucking tickets and I totally expected more for my money.

MySpace is here

I love the fact that since I put "MySpace" in my title that googlers worldwide will accidentally stumble upon this posting. For good measure I'm including "Facebook" as well. MySpace is right here at hardwire.bogomip.com.

I got rid of both my MySpace and Facebook accounts. I'm writing this post to inform my awesome friends that pay attention to my blog that their silly little broadcasts to MySpace, the awesome quizzes that help me understand who I really am, and the amazing quality of their MySpace theme which consequently pegs my CPU and wastes a ton of energy will no longer be seen by yours truly.

Same with you facebook, who I failed to even use properly.

Catch me on IRC if you dare:

Xmas 2007 xTreme!!!

Alright, commence vacation update!

We went aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll over Northern Colorado and saw a ton of people this trip, I'm really happy I got to see a lot of friends that never followed me to Alaska when I wanted them to. I saw my friend Eddie get married (up close, I was best man) then played Nintendo with him before he left for his Honeymoon.

Andrew and Jaime were totally awesome hosts.. We had sushi and I'm just happy we got to see them during our vacation. They have the coolest cats. One is a puma and the other is a snuggly little mouse with a nice large roar whenever she wants attention.

Saw my friend Jim and his family, His mom almost wouldn't let me go - she was one of several moms I had growing up, but I saw her the most since she was the mom around the corner :) Jim's kid went from devil to saint through a strict "we will feed you to lions - OR - you will do 10 push-ups right now" policy. I totally dug it and Skyefoil wanted to take it back to the Anchorage School District. Can you imagine push-ups in detention?

We saw some of Skyefoils friends for brunch then got a chance to visit with darth_mall.. I looooooved it! What a fun guy and he has such a huge amount of stuff to talk about. Anybody not constantly conversing with darth_mall is missing out!!

Friendly Types

I have lots of xmas eve photos w/ the fam. Lots of wedding photos too which are way cool but I still have to sort through.

All and all, its been fun so far - we are taking off to go visit Ape, my sister, for Xmas 2007 xTreme!!! with the little nephews and the newbie niece with the hugenormous anime eyeballs.
