It's in the new waiting area since you can't go into the actual terminals anymore.
Another Little Rocker?

nah. I was over there for work for the last couple of weeks. Little Rock is OK! I'd never spent any time there, other than passing through going to TX. Perhaps a little on the sleepy side, but they seem to have done a lot of things right that Mem got wrong.

Tomorrow I go from SNA to SEA. The best thing about SNA = the "FAA approved" takeoffs for reduced noise. Basically wind the plane up hard on the tarmac, release the brakes, zoom sharply up to a couple thousand feet, then cut the engines and coast out over the ocean. Eventually the engines get kicked back in and away you go.

LR copied Memphis and put a damn trolley downtown that nobody ever rides.
We also have a submarine that the mayor desperately wants everyone to see. Maybe when Raggett comes to town.

yeah it's dumber than shit (as is ours), but at least it's more or less confined to Markham(?) in the downtown mall area. they extended ours (which is embarrassingly empty) off of Main, through the medical district where it finally peters out in Midtown, for no other apparent reason than to completely muck up the traffic flow on Madison. The way I go to work. Brilliant.

i am not in an airport yet, but will be soon. i just checked and my flight appears to be delayed approximately an hour. should i go later than i planned, or just sit through the delay in case it somehow ends up leaving earlier?
― tehresa, Thursday, 20 December 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link
My dad recommended I go on time. Now it's even more delayed and I'm drinking a pint glass sized gin and tonic at the airport chilis oh my

that's like 100% of the fun of getting delayed

at least you have internet. what airport?
― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 December 2007 05:42 (sixteen years ago) link
o'hare.
never ever try traveling on two separate airlines in the same day. especially around the holidays. if one fucks you over the other couldn't care less.
― gr8080, Friday, 21 December 2007 05:42 (sixteen years ago) link
i honestly might be here for a day or two.
― gr8080, Friday, 21 December 2007 05:43 (sixteen years ago) link
:( good luck

i'm camped out next to some payphones because its the only electrical outlet i could find. one of the payphones was ringing so i picked it up and said "hello?" a woman on the other end asked if Drea was there and i told her no Drea had left.
fuck i am bored.
― gr8080, Friday, 21 December 2007 05:52 (sixteen years ago) link
oh grady :(
go to bar! seriously, it helped me for about an hour. maybe they are closed now though? i was about to murder people by the time my plane finally boarded.
i once did 2 different airlines for international travel: super bad idea.
― tehresa, Friday, 21 December 2007 05:54 (sixteen years ago) link
the thing is that i cant get through security until i'm signed up for standby and i cant do that for another 5 hours.
there is this hilton right across from where the taxis pick you up. i suppose i could get a drink there.
― gr8080, Friday, 21 December 2007 05:57 (sixteen years ago) link
DO IT. Stay out of security as long as you can... once you're on the other side, it's soooo hellish.
― tehresa, Friday, 21 December 2007 05:57 (sixteen years ago) link
a guy just came looking to plug his phone in but i'm using the only two outlets. i offered to unplug my computer for a while but he said nevermind and walked away.

― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 December 2007 06:02 (sixteen years ago) link
about great american bagel that is
dude on payphones is fucking pissed because whoever was coming to pick him up (in the cold, in the middle of the night, from Gary, IN) got a flat tire and the spare was flat to begin with and they have no money for a tow truck.
― gr8080, Friday, 21 December 2007 06:03 (sixteen years ago) link
well that's what they get for living in Gary, IN!

― gr8080, Friday, 21 December 2007 06:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Damn, gr8080. :-( Sucks and a half.

this is because every time I enter an airport I am already psychologically prepared to die and spend eternity in hell
― El Tomboto, Friday, 21 December 2007 06:04 (sixteen years ago) link
it is kind of a viking mindset
I can hang out in an airport for hours and hours and not get bored
i can too usually, but not on this side of security. actually since i have wifi i'm not really too bored. just kind of crushed.
― gr8080, Friday, 21 December 2007 06:05 (sixteen years ago) link
people with children eating fast food and talking on cell phones about nothing but very loudly in close proximity for all eternity

hey i just remembered i have a mini-bottle of cuervo in my bag that the barbershop in the east village gave me as a holiday present.
― gr8080, Friday, 21 December 2007 06:06 (sixteen years ago) link
all the bars in o'hare are on the other side of security? and you can't get on standby for five hours?
that's pretty extraordinary circumstances

i am an extraordinary traveler.
