From A Jet Plane…<\/b><\/p>\n

Good morning sleepyheads (crap! is it still morning?),<\/p>\n

I’ve assembled quite an impressive bit of kit for this plane ride to Chicago. New set of Altec Lansing headphones (not noise-cancelling, shoulda laid down the extra $200), a new charger for the little iBook to replace one I lost (but found yesterday), and two new albums from the iTunes Music Store (that I can’t really hear because the headphones don’t cancel the jet engine noise). Total cost for all this bright white goodness? Don’t ask. They were birthday gifts to myself, okay?<\/p>\n

Despite the grousing, I’m kinda enjoying the trip so far. The radiation on my side of the aircraft is keeping it nice and toasty, the peanuts were delicious, the turbulence is helping me digest said peanuts, and I came to the realization that there’s a lot to be said for a Bloody Mary without the alcohol. After all, isn’t the big draw the spicy tomato juice anyway? I think so.<\/p>\n

By the way, thanks to everyone who sent some sort of birthday greeting. I wasn’t particularly interested in turning 39 simply because it seemed deadly dull, but this Birthday Holiday Season has certainly held my attention—and it ain’t over yet!<\/p>\n

Fantastic!<\/p>\n

Okay, on the subject of dumb fun, I heard Finding Out That True Love Is Blind<\/a> by Louis XIV on San Diego’s FM 94.9<\/a> the other day, so I had to buy the album. It’s an EP, actually (ten points to those under 30 if you know what EP stands for) so iTunes is selling it for under four bucks. Yes, it’s hokey (think T Rex, maybe Gary Glitter), but hey, four bucks! I don’t know why I gravitate towards bands that milk the joke (see Ween, Reverend Horton Heat, Secret Machines, etc.) but I certainly seem to. Is it so wrong?<\/p>\n

So, anyway. The plane is clumsily bumping and grinding its way toward Chicago (if that reminds you of a story that you’d like to share, I think the rest of the class would like to hear it) and the Southwest Airlines signature peanuts have finally settled—sideways. Ooof.<\/p>\n

Aircraft descending now (in a controlled manner, thankfully), so I’ll stop this one and start another once I get settled in a bit at Stinky’s pad.<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n
