So I’m presently sitting at the airport in Baltimore, and I feel the need to update the old elle-jay for the fans out there.
First, I discovered that in Windows Media Player you can select the playing speed of your MP3s… It’s very interesting to speed up those slow songs that could just use a bit of a tempo pickup. It makes a lot of songs sound really cool, sort of remix version thingie. I guess Windows Media Player isn’t all that shitty, except it keeps asking for licenses for a few Format songs. Fucking “legal” bullshit.
Second, let’s make a societal rule. Let’s make it illegal to speak Arabic (also: farsi and other regional languages) in airports. Or, at the very least, argue. It makes people uneasy. Yes, you’re probably just some random dude from some shitty country but please please please recognize that while one may not be outwardly racist and things, seeing 2 Saudis argue about something just does not make things any more comfortable for anyone. Especially in the security line.
Third, could my sporting teams be any more depressing? Seriously. The Orioles have not been competetive for almost 10 years now (Next year is year 10 of the sub-500 O’s. Purdue football is ready to start up soon, which will just lead to more disappointment from the Chris Ford sporting teams. Watch the Dolphins start off 6-2 and finish the season 10-6 only to lose in the first round of the playoffs. OR, my personal favorite…. win the first round then get ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED in the second round (ala 63-7 against the Jaguars in ‘01ish).
Fourth, this will probably be a fairly long entry since I’m just sitting here with nothing to do for another 45 minutes or so. So I’ll just take a look around here and see if I see anything rantworthy. Mrs. Captain Kirk next to me has her space commander helmet on, aka the bluetooth cell phone earpiece. I freaking hate those things. Take them out of your ear if you’re not on the phone. Other than that, not a whole lot is going on around me, this is a fairly normal SWA crowd, no wife beaters, just old people and a few families, and a very few business travellers.
Fifth, I move into my new apartment when I get home. I don’t think my landlord really knows what’s going on… I’m always the one who has to call him to get the ball rolling on stuff. It’s tres bizarre. Hopefully he’ll have a key and shit for me so I can start moving my stuff in, otherwise I’ll be homeless for another night, which I would not be too happy about it. Being homeless sucked. If my car were empty it might’ve been better but with all my shit in it it was just a hassle to do anything.
Sixth, this damn fly keeps landing on me. I’m ready to throw down.
Seventh, it drives me nuts how everyone unbuckles their seatbelt at the same time when the airplane stops. Wait for the fucking blinky light, it’s the rules. One of these times I’d like to have a drunk jetway operator just slam the mofo into the plane and knock one of these snooty pricks on their ass (or bump heads if still sitting down). That’ll teach ‘em.
Eighth, the first TBS album is quite possibly the best album I have ever heard. Discuss.
Ninth, I’m incredibly bored (and so are you if you’re reading this).
Tenth, not too many people commented in my “comment to cheer huy up” post, which leads me to the conclusion that people do, in fact, hate huy.
Eleventh, how come all these hot girls only flirt with me once I have a girlfriend (who is out of town for the next two weeks [and has been out of town for two weeks already], it drives me nuts)? Seriously would like to get to the bottom of this.
Twelfth, I will probably edit this when I post it (actually I’ll probably forget), but I hope my apartment has a bed in it and air conditioning…. Otherwise I have to go to Wal-Mart and get an air mattress and an air conditioner…. And I’m not looking forward to that since it’s like 95 out in Lafayette. Edit goes here… Edit: I had a/c but no bed. I now sleep on a queen sized air mattress.
Thirteenth, I realized that going back to my parent’s house is like going to my grandmother’s when I was younger. I end up eating a lot, and end up bored out of my wits. Since there’s nothing for me really to do (I hate doing stuff alone), it’s boring. Being an only child sucks. I’m going to try and only visit once a year from now on (a lot more feasible since I’m graduating in December anyway…) So I think I’ll go back for Thanksgiving and that’ll be it for ‘06. Although technically I did already visit, I can’t grandfather that visit under the new rule, doesn’t seem right.
