Finally Philadelphia

After three LOOONNNGGG weeks, I'm back home in PA.

Last post I mentioned that I was going to head back to Philly between Texas and California. Unfortunatly, a freak ice storm decide to crap all over those plans, and as it turns out I was forced to go right to Cali. It turned out alright, as I was able to crash on some friends' couches (I could have stayed in hotels for the weekend, work would have footed the bill, but I prefer bumming a place to crash). However, my satisfaction with air travel was severly tested on this trip. Every single time I tried to travel via air, something made it annoying. Besides the ice storm, I lost a bag on a routine flight from LAX to Oakland. Then, on the trip back to here, I barely made it onto my plane, having to run in my socks from security to the gate. Therefore I got stuck in a middle seat for the 5+ hour ride home, but since I was the last person on the plane I could pick which middle seat and ended up between two skinny people. Of course, once I touch down in Philly, I am one bag short. That's right, in two weeks, Southwest lost my bags twice. I'm happy to say they did recover the bags both times, but still that's a habit I hope not to acquire.

I also observed that whenever I am in a line, people will choose to cross that line right in front of me everytime. That's a new super power I hadn't really noticed before.

During the trip, I could not stop listening to Bloc Party's latest album. I didn't think it was that great at first listen, but wowzers, I couldn't get enough of it. Also listened to the Thermals a lot, but that might be a bit rough for you people out there. Get the Bloc Party album though.

Bring It On - the sequel is on TV, and it has don't-get-hurty girl from Heroes as the star. She's worked herself into quite the "...and starring as the badass cheerleader" typecast. It's ok, she can cheer for me anytime. "Go Team, don't stop! Go Fight Win!"

Ok, off to see 300.
