Sounds like you could've WALKED to P'burgh during this wait.

Why did I not take the amtrak?

Because you are not named Joseph Biden, Esq.

Oh yeah, it takes a long time.

^equally effective transport btwn NY>PA, Mercereau's Flying Machine.

uh considering my trip to sc (plane turned into bus-car-car), you should probably just start walking now.

I am onboard, seat 5a for the second time, wondering if I need a personalised barbecue branding iron in my life.

Surely there is an even more crucial and life-affirming product in that there catalogue for you.

Buy something chocolate. You can never go wrong; even if you don't want it, you can give use it to attract the ladeeeez.

(I hope your flight got going, Ed.)

I'm going to bed after reading about Intimate Partner Violence for far too long... good night, ITR...

It eventually left a mere 4 hours late. Apparently Pittsburgh International is 'Yesterday's Airport of Tomorrow'

We shall see if it's a PA thang - My Philly transfer was about the same amount of time going to Mpls.

Still here, fucking fog.

At least you kept yourself busy!

lolololololololol you should have seen J031's outraged expression at this

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa

I do so look forward to the inevitable John/Joei throwdown. (Sorry, Scurvy, my money's on the lady this time...)

HER: "Dan, someone sent us a text-to-landline message that said 'Happy New Year, you fuckers!' Who would do that????"
ME: "hahahahahahahaha"
HER: "No, seriously! Listen to this."
ME: (after listening) "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
HER: "See???"

The part that mystifies me is that she didn't automatically know *exactly* who would do that...

my money was on John since FB called me back when I texted him and we did drunken bar babble for a few min

OH THIS REMINDS ME

I got a Facebook msg from A11i St0rk4mp yesterday titled "You hated me..." that read:

You wrote, and I quote, "I hate you I hate you I hate you" in my yearbook.

What was up with that?

I have no doubt I did that but I cannot for the life of me remember why...? She thinks maybe we used to have mock "I hate you!" arguments but doesn't really remember either. Anyway, I was horrified and really fucking amused all at the same time.

?! I can't help you there, but I think your explanation sounds plausible enough...

(because you really didn't hate A11i that I know of...)

Not at all! It was perplexing.

i think most of the things we wrote in yearbooks most of the time were pretty incomprehensible.

so was it an awesome robot voice calling you fuckers?

a bored operator would be way cooler but ill take what i can get.

It was an awesome robot voice, probably the Dragon Systems text-to-speech synthesizer. I hope we saved it!

Truly it was a happy new year.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

I'm very sad that I didn't get a similar message. ;_;

Also afraid to look at what you guys might have written in my yearbooks, yikes.

how the fuck do receive a text to a landline? is this an american thing?

yeah dan can you upload this?

xpoxt No, you get the robot voice -- and in the UK, there used to be a choice of robot, lady robot, or Tom Baker!

^^ I am so moving to the UK

Half convinced all ITR people are in post-New Year's comas at this late date...

I am here stealing internet and stretching my arms to unimaginable lengths unpacking stuff.

Glad you got to where you were going!

Where I am going next is the CVS for some mentholated rub.

If you are interested you can see my new appartment here

Cool!

btw, I just got a crazy forward from my mother about putting metholated rubs (such as Vicks) on your feet and then applying socks. I didn't bother to check it out via snopes.com, so it might be nonsense, but allegedly that stuff can help you even if it's not directly on your chest/you're not breathing it directly.

That's basically true.

BTW Ed, we found the Mexican hot choc as exactly described 2mn after I spoke to you! Kelly bought some too.

mmmmm, that sounds soooooo good.

Remember how my mom tried to ban me from going to Central Market because of the "criminal element" at Lake and Chicago? FUCK THAT FOR A GAME OF SOLDIERS, we gots Ibarra!

I am getting ready to see an awesome show about heartbreak and amputation <3

starring Kanye West and the drummer from Def Leppard, I hope

oh hey Sara, what CDs did you end up getting A. this year?

i completely love that little dog.

I've got no idea how Willie got img posted there, was supposed to be a GIS of Ibarra Mexican hot chocolate.

gah, I'm freezing and my evening is so totally going to be homework and treadmill...

Dan, I wound up just buying one, the MSTRKRFT one (due to money constraints) - but I have preserved you guys' advice in a Word document that I look at often (my "books read" document, where I obsessively list every book I read). So basically I'm preserving your advice for further gift-giving occasions.
