Updates for the week of 2010-01-03

  • Still digesting idiotic TSA response to recent events. How much further will they have to go to remove flight as an option for travelers? #
  • Nothing on your lap for the hour beginning/end of flight. No electronics for same. Any flights with children just became hell-in-a-tube. #
  • But WAIT! Without those things, terrorists will CONSPIRE. Okay, umm… No Talking either. Be quiet & do nothing. (And put this costume on.) #
  • You know what will make for really calm, reasonable flights? 150 people with nothing to do but watch each other for two hours. Oh Yeah. #
  • The secret to winning laser beam fights is the Limbo. #thingsKayleesays #
  • At night, rabbits use other animal's poop to make poop snowmen! Its a secret. #thingsKayleesays #
  • I wonder if early-risers simply have a bed so uncomfortable that getting up pre-dawn is preferable to sleep, or if it's just me, this week. #
  • We're on the Polar Express to Yew Nork City! #thingsKayleesays #
  • Adrift: I point out that we’ve been communicating with three different entities. I get three repli.. http://bit.ly/85oB3n #
  • RT @Three_Star_Dave So in-flight security rules will be at discretion (and blame) of cockpit-bound pilots? It's all security theatre. #
  • 10-round bout with mom-in-law's guest bed now into extra innings[1]. Back is a wall of ache, but I'm still miles better off than @daphneun. #
  • [1] Yeah, I mixed a metaphor, but you all GOT it, so pbbbt? I'm on two fully-clothed hours of couch sleep; I'm lucky I can type at all. #
  • [RT on behalf of @daphneun] @warrenellis: Guess 2009 wasn't quite done with me. Out for the count with the flu. Fuck you, 2009! I STILL WON! #
  • Sick. Not, at this point, as sick as @daphneun, so I'm trying to move quietly and not attract The Beast. #
  • Comic: 2009-12-30 (http://j.mp/8R5NcS) – Pretty much why I haven't played Diplomacy with any of my Denver peeps. #
  • Adorable Puppy Explains Health Care Bill (http://j.mp/8y8ppe) – Clear, concise, and contains 100% more puppy. #
  • Much improved from yesterday, but still not 100%. Should have our strength back just in time to get back on the plane home. :P #
  • Maggeh's 100 skills everyone should master: http://bit.ly/755Fsg #
  • Incredibly excited about four hour flight today. That's what this gnawing ball of acid in my stomach is, right? Excitement? I thought so. #
  • I am normally a very at-ease travel. Many air-miles. Lingering stomach bug and current security theatre has me less than jazzed. #
  • RT @DaphneUn TWITTER: on the *extended* LOTR:RotK, how many minutes in does Denethor take a flaming header off Minas Tirith? #
  • #10yearsago I was in the midst of buying Casa Testerman and trying to figure out what the hell 'blogging' was. #
  • I lied. #10yearsago a 9 year old kid moved in with me – 3rd grade and unable to read. He's in basic training as a logistics specialist now. #
  • It's still 2009 as we land in Denver. Upside? BACK IN DENVER! WOOOOO! *sigh* *collapse* #
  • Adrift: Did the station on which we’re standing, floating in jump-space, breaking every known phys.. http://bit.ly/77wsm9 #
  • Attention, Land of Writeria: @ChuckWendig has written our 2010 statement of purpose. Check it: http://tinyurl.com/yff8luw #
  • Santa got me a proper spatula for Christmas. Santa is awesome. #
  • 7" USB display for my desktop from @daphneun. Perfect for other-thing-in-2nd-window, further ensuring I get work done only on my netbook. #
  • Note: the previous post should in no way be seen as a complaint. #
  • I really need a whetstone and hands-on lessons in use of same. NO REASON. NO REASON AT ALL. #
  • Got a [CARRIER LOST] error, accessing the vocabulary part of my brain; was forced to refer to my daughter's tiara as a "princess helmet". #
