i'm in an airport

and i'm stranded.

at least you have internet. what airport?

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.

i honestly might be here for a day or two.

:( 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.

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.

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.

DO IT.
Stay out of security as long as you can... once you're on the other side, it's soooo hellish.

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.

don't eat sbarro

but that's general airport advice

solitaire

vegas style

no nevermind drink at the hilton

i am going to eat the shit out of a Great American Bagel® breakfast bagel as soon as i can get on the other side of security. best food in o'hare.

EAT AT SBARRO ROMANTING CURTAINS PARMAZING CHEESE DISPENDER!!!!

no, don't. it's awful and scary.

yes otm. always eat there @ st. louis airport

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.

well that's what they get for living in Gary, IN!

gr80 needs to attend the el tomboto airport party clinic
I can hang out in an airport for hours and hours and not get bored

some kids just asked me what time it is.

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

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.

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.

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.

i don't mind being in airports forever

good to read stuff and if there is wireless available i could deal

i would get tired of the seats tho

seriously: hilton

but first milk that shot of cuervo

hiltooooon

drinking and layovers were made for each other

drinking and _____ were made for each other

travelling without drinking? I'd rather listen to jamiroquai

btw: that pint of gin&tonic ended up costing me $12. at least it was tanqueray and not well.

the only thing on this side of security is a starbucks and i think its closed now. i "landed" and got my luggage on airline A, but 12 hours late to catch my flight on airline B. Airline B's ticket desk isn't open till 5:30 AM, and even though they were there when i first got there, they couldn't get me standby for friday travel until friday.

airline A is the one that fucked up, but basically i fucked myself by trying to think this would work.

also, airline B is the expensive flight that work paid for and airline A was the cheap one i bought on my own.

jesus christ.
well, you live and learn, I suppose. I have had similarly extra-long standby layovers but never overnight.

I will use MINDWAVES to send you some MINDWINE

RED OR WHITE

i'd take a MINDBOARDINGPASS over mindwine.

tomboto are you extracting the mindwine from your very own mindgrape?

zing?

lol no 30 rock ref idk if tombot watches it tho

gr80 does o'hare have free wireless?

yeah i'd probably take having a seat over both alcohol and not listening to jamiroquai, but the important thing is once you have a seat you can do both of those
