Feeling  todayBrand new kitten! Brand new kitten! (Changed 2-15-06) Thursday, June 27, 2002
I'M LEAVIN' ON A JET PLANE..... Well, technically, I left already. I flew out yesterday, well Tuesday night at this point, to Long Island. The flights themselves weren't bad, it was the waiting at the airports that was a pain in the *BEEEEP*. My flight plan was supposed to be: leave Cleveland at 6:10pm, get into Baltimore at 7:10, switch flights and leave Baltimore at 8:40, get into Islip/Long Island at 9:50. Notice the key words: "supposed to". Except my flight to Baltimore left Cleveland at about 7:45, because the plane was coming from Chicago and was delayed there. I finally get to Baltimore at about 8:50, missing my flight to Islip. The next plane leaves at 9:50ish. I finally get into Islip at about 11:15ish. And of course, most of my time at the airports is spent standing in line, because I keep hearing "The plane will be in soon." And because I'm spending so much time waiting in lines, I can't pop over to the phone and call my sister and let her know how late I'm running. I managed to get to the phone at Baltimore and call my sister, to let her know how late I am. She tells me that my bro-in-law has already left, and that he doesn't have his cell phone with him, so she can't even call him to let him know how late I'm running. So he was waiting at the airport for me for about an hour and a half, with no idea about my situation. It really sucks because I don't really have anything to read now either. I had brought along 2 books. I finished one with all the waiting in lines and on the planes. The other one I've started already, and might even finish that by Friday. I really hope my flight back on Friday is a lot better, because my current arrival time in Cleveland is scheduled for 10:50pm. On a slightly seperate note, before I go. Something to think about for the next time you, or someone you know, is flying..... If flying's considered such a safe means of transportation, why is the main building called the terminal? :) Wednesday, June 19, 2002
HOLY MOSES!! YES, IT'S A BLOG UPDATE! Okay, so it's just been a weeeeeeee bit of time since I updated last, like a whole frickin' month. Well, I was doing pretty good for awhile there with frequent updates. I'll try and do better. Of course, if you want more frequent updates, you can always email me and compla...remind me. :) And yes, I do know I owe you guys my review of Star Wars. Soon, I promise. I guess today's blog is a general update of my life. There are one or two things I have in mind for specific blogs, but I think that's for next time. "And now for something completely different......" Been fighting an ear infection since Thursday night. The doctor told me I had an ear infection, and I'm thinking "You've got to be kidding me. Ear infections happen to little kids, not adults." My left ear was blocked, and I couldn't hear anything. I think it finally cleared up tonight. I hope it. Going around only being able to hear out of one ear was a royal pain in the ass. Don't know what caused it. One thing's for sure, I DO NOT want another one. Besides not being able to hear, the pills for it were outrageous. I got 2 prescriptions, 20 pills each. Supposed to take them twice a day, for 10 days. So I go to get them filled, and pick my jaw off the floor when they tell me the price. One of the prescriptions was $26. The other $100. 5 bucks per pill. ARGH!!! Yesterday and today, especially today, I've been really wiped out and tired. But I actually know the cause of this one. It's not enough sleep coupled with extra physical activity. This week, the club is holding a beginners fencing camp. It's sort of a month long introductory class crammed into 1 week. I'm helping out with it. We're starting at 9:30 am (argh! What is that bright orb in the sky??) and going till about 3pm. Well, they are. I have to be at work at 3, so I'm leaving at 2. We're running, doing lots of footwork, drills, and fencing. And there's still 2 more days of it. So my schedule for the week is, get up way too early, go wear myself out, come in to work, get frustrated at the PCs for several hours, then go home and get a few hours of sleep. Then do the whole thing over again. Friday (don't work yaaaa!) afternoon and evening = SLEEP!! :) And sleep later Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon is the last tournament of the season for me. Hopefully I'll get some good results. Assuming I get sleep. :) Taking a couple of days off of work and heading out to Long Island, New York next week. Leaving Tuesday evening, coming back Friday night. Going up to help my sister and brother-in-law pack their house. They're selling it and moving back around here. My sister comes back for good on Friday, June 28. My bro-in-law is coming in for a week, then heading back to LI to finish up some things there. It's kinda fitting I suppose. I helped unpack it, I get to help repack it. :) One thing I'm looking forward to while there is going to a small restaurant (don't remember the name of it) they have in Hampton Bays. That place has the best burgers I have *ever* had! It was one of my requirements for helping them to pack. We've got to go there. There's really only thing that really bums me about going to help is that I miss the club's advanced fencing camp. I was actually going to go to that one as a participant, rather than an assistant. Oh well. There's another one at the end of July or August, I forget which. I'll hit that one. As some of you may know, my birthday was yesterday. I turned the ever ancient 26. Or as I like to think of it, 22 with 4 years of additional experience. :) From my parents I got gift certificates to Marcs and Giant Eagle (GOOD!!) and an incredibly awesome cd, Freedom by Michael W. Smith. It's an all instrumental CD, with all sorts of different pieces on it. There's a couple that have a Celtic feel to them, almost like they could have come out of Braveheart. The entire CD is cool. From the 2 sisters and bro-in-law I got a couple of really nice, comfy shirts. And my young sister joins the ranks of "Really Cool Little Sisters." She got me (from the 3 of them, but she found it) the Deluxe 2 DVD set of Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail. As some may have noticed, I like Monty Python. And MP&TQFTHG is one of my favorite movies. I have yet to get to the second disk that has all the bonus stuff on it. Maybe next week or something. I think that's it for now. Something not so long (and a little weirder) next time. |
