The flight out of Chicago was delayed. We were eventually informed that one piece of luggage needed to be removed from the belly of the plan because it’s passenger had not boarded. “They’re looking for, they have to find where it is, well, they know where it is, they just need to find it…” We took off an hour late.

Serving up competition.
Holy hell! “Gate Gourmet”. Not Skychef. Evidently it’s not a complete monopoly anymore.
Also I’m guessing the food quality is exactly the same.

Again With The Italy, or What’s All This Then?
The power of circumstance has landed me in Italy again this year. Twenty-four days to last year’s ten. This is officially the longest trip on which I have ever embarked.
The clouds outside look like bubbling geysers of whipped cream.

Hey, at least it included chicken…
KFC’s jingle in the early 80′s (and perhaps since, I don’t know, I haven’t been paying attention) let everyone know just how they handled their namesake meals.
My family didn’t eat much fast food, which is definitely not a bad thing. Partially because I grew up in Tiny Town, but mostly because it’s much cheaper to make full meals at home.

Thesaurus notes on Geek.
Straight from the Thesaurus.com entry for “geek”:
Notes: a geek is any smart person with an obsessive interest, a nerd is the same but also lacks social grace, and a dweeb is a mega-nerd.

Let blogs gone be blogs gone..?
And this is one blog that seems to have gone.
Life really provides more than enough bollocks to fill a million existences worth of blogs. I have endless text files with tiny phrases and short sentences referencing some random observation of serious events and some nutter thing that happened as I walked by. My email drafts folder ended up loaded with more confusion than my inbox ever did – it did make for excellent quick note taking in the time before iPhones and millions of synchronising note programs. It usually took having 8 text files open and unsaved and an overloaded draft folder for me to run through a stream of backdated posts filled with insight, wisdom and hilarity. Or bollocks. Or both.
