I've never flown before and I'm all for security, but this showing up
two days early thing is ridiculous
WORST SECURITY SCREENING EVER. Exhausted. Do they expect me to carry
the plane in case of emergency? Thank God for Zumba at the Y
@danielleNYC I'm headed to Star City
@danielleNYC No, I mean literally - it's a township in Russia
If they want to bring prices down they'll have to fit more than six
people in the plane. At least there won't be any crying babies
@danielleNYC I'm sure the travel agent knew what I was talking about
Tweeple, please disregard my earlier endorsement of Hastings Executive Travel.
@GODDAMNEVERYONE YES I GET IT NOW YOU CAN STOP SENDING ME LINKS
@porterMD Yes I did notice the ticket price was high. I thought it was
a package deal
@porterMD hotel, tours, that sort of thing
@charliejr Well she wouldn't be a "mail-order" bride if I met her in
person, so you can shut up now
Everyone says @richardbranson is a great guy. Apparently he is a
"great guy" that doesn't believe in refunds.
@danielleNYC no, I don't want to be set up on a date with your sister
again after what happened last time
No iPhones allowed on board so no updates for a bit
That was like carrying a sofa on my face while hurtling through a wind
tunnel followed by 5 minutes of "Fascinating Puke Experiments"
@danielleNYC No, that was referring to the date. The flight was amazing!
Oh Balloon Boy is a song about, well, you know. My favorite review of it is: "I didn't think I could possibly like anything about the balloon boy. I was wrong." There was a songwriting challenge for something topical, so I wrote the words based on an old tune, and someone else put the words to a different tune and the result is a fun pop/rock ballad.
Over on Flickr, I uploaded and organized most of the pictures I took from the early days of moblogging (dating back to 2002) with various experimental cameraphones (including the one that took tiny 120 x 90 pics). Lots of lo-fi, light-leaking fun.
Also on Flickr, I finally scanned and uploaded pictures from a cross-country trip we took back in 1997. Taken on real film and everything.
And of course the big summer project was Angry Octopus Comics, a webcomic I worked on with Zoe. When we were done for the summer, we made a video about it:
That's all for now, but hopefully more random stuff to come!
