St. Louis day 1
Plane pains. Normally when I travel I use just my backpack and no
suitcases. This year I reversed that. Just my snowboarding jacket (with it's
way to many pockets and digital media friendly setup.. oh and easy access
photo id pocket). No carryon. I'm serrious. Our flight from Detroit was
delayed takeoff because there was zilch room for carryons.
Yes. You have to pay for luggage to be checked. (Unless you fly
southwest) but just for this week, it may be worth it. Also wear a shirt
under your hoodie. (I left for the airport shortly after getting home so I
dressed college student casual) because they have you remove them now.
Really? How many Rebel Scums did they find wearing an Harvard hoodie that
they made this rule?
So thems my travel hints.
In other news: I've been here 1 day and the storms have moved in. It is
official When Paige visits the midwest, she brings THE THUNDER (and
tornados)
Detroit's airport is very japanese..which is strange. You know how they
repeat announcements in other languages. English, spanish, french... and
sometimes mix it up..like near Canada it's english then french then
spanish.. Well I've never heard terminal announcements in Japanesse. It was
neat (it was a reminder that Detroit is in the Eastren time zome)
Oh and I had paperwork to fill out at work and I did that while in detroit.
I love my phone and I love the internet. It was like..
"Love to come in and sign that off chief, but I'm taxing to the terminal in
Detroit."
"Now?"
"Yes. I'm told it's 30 degrees and The Lake is 1/3 frozen looks very
pretty."
"So.. you aren't in New England"
"Nope. But fear not! I am a geek! (And I explain how I can fill out that
paperwork and get it back to him)"
So arrived safe. Want to go home. Dosed on meds so I can keep the sniffles
at side. My mom is blasting KMOX and for fucks sake it's 9am. My brother's
sleeping. I don't need to hear political bullshit this fucking early in the
morning. Right wing. Left wing Shut the fuck up! Okay! Be god damn human.
On the plane from manchester a total churchlady type gave me (a grungy
lesbo) a luna bar and I gave her gum. Just be human.
Okay my ma is all shoutin at me (and my brother is still trying to sleep)
more ranting later.
