^^ some new inspiration for the perfume thread perchance!
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 2 February 2020 12:00 (four years ago) link
I’d generally say I would never stoop to wearing perfume found at airports but I am passing through Doha so perhaps they have the good stuff.
I’m going to Bali and afaik there have been no cases of coronavirus at all in Indonesia so far but two thirds of the conference attendees are from Australia and the rest are from various parts of Asia so there is probably a perceived risk much stronger than any actual risk.

On my way to the airport. I'm wondering how apocalyptic it'll be.

Feel you might be disappointed if the airports here are anything to go by these days. Unless you really sense the coming apocalypse in everything being near-empty and eerily quiet? But do share if everything's ablaze (and pick a nice bm record to accompany the scene)! Bon chance, man.

Thanks! I'll find out in a few minutes… But yeah, it's way likelier to be a whimper rather than a bang, as ever. With a bit of luck our plane will empty a swell.

Safe flight, pom.

Thanks, gyac. Airport seems as packed as ever, there are just more face masks than usual. Kind of disappointed tbh.

I'm in an airport for the first time in ages. S'weird, everything seems back to normal except the masks.

Uh I’m at Washington National and there are a lot of unmasked people despite the rules.

At BWI with people eating all around me and one woman with a Green Bay Packers sweatshirt (so you know she’s unvaxxed) defiantly unmasked.

Good 'ol BWI. Stay safe.

I traveled from BWI a week before Thanksgiving and then came back on Dec 11th and it was the nearest I'd ever come to hardcore holiday flying, and YIKES. Sending good energy to you and anyone doing this this year

Haven’t flown since 2018, totally insane that all these people are not wearing masks

yeah I mean like, people get sick at the airport anyway

the airport is the only place where I see white people from the suburbs or whatever and I hate all of them so much
yeah I mean like, people get sick at the airport _anyway_

Living in London has really taken any affection I had for airports out of me lol. The standardization is a bummer too, like every airport in Europe now having that damn duty free shopping corridor you need to go through.

My flight was booked for 6am so I stayed up and left the house at 3:15am. Flight was changed to 9:45am so I tried napping supine on the banks of chairs. It was phenomenally uncomfortable!

Nobody looks cool going through TSA screening. This, I suddenly realize, is my biggest issue with flying: I only like things that look cool

There’s a Sammy’s here (as in Hagar). Do I go for some tequila?

It’s a good tequila and I think you deserve it. Try not to show up in a viral video later.

I was desperate enough to hear a follow up to 1984 that I gave 5150 another chance last weekend after nearly 30 years of abstinance. Starting with "Dreams", i made it as far as "reach for the golden ring" on my first attempt before switching it off.
The second time through was unbearably sad, though. It's the optimism for a future that never materialized, where you know you're watching a tragedy but the actors still think it's another kind of play. Part of it is def that there's a certain brand of corporate modernism preserved in amber, like they've ditched the laser grid of 1984, put on a blazer and stepped into the Frasurbane Mcdonalds. But also the energy of a new creative partnership that seems full of promise but already peaked.
Oh, Sammmy, I'd love a tequila TY for offering.
