One of the things I like about flying is the variety of people I get to see. It reminds me of the variety of people out there beyond just those at my job. I get to see a slice of someone elses life. I get to see that life is alive and well somewhere else. It's just eye candy, but it's an good pastime.

Congratulations Wikipedia, you've crushed my hopes of having some sort of anti-gravity technology. Maybe some other universe or millenia.

Time to wrap it up and head over to the gate. The restaurant is starting to put chairs on tables and clean up anyway.

As promised, here are pictures of the outfit I wore to the company christmas party. There are even several with the 'prop' of a white feather boa. Hmm...

Albeit it is Windows XP and it might have gotten better with Windows Vista and/or Windows 7, but this is what it already has and I'm not about to spend 200$ to upgrade it. Anyway, as I was saying, it's obviously going to need updates after almost two years, but what I forgot about is how it will do all the updates possible, require a restart, and then display more updates. I've already restarted the computer half a dozen to a dozen times.

Up next on the computer front will be upgrading the netbook and desktop to the latest versions of Ubuntu, or actually doing my Java homework before it's too late and I flunk the class (ooo....).
