Omaha
Scattered Thoughts from Epply Airport
06/13/08 05:05 PM Filed in: Misc.
I'm sitting in the airport. My flight doesn't start
boarding for over an hour, but I just had to get out
of the office. There are plenty of seats, but I'm on
the floor so I can access an outlet to charge the
laptop & iPhone for the trip. I'm exhausted and
already have a thin film of travel funk coating me
and I haven't even got on the plane yet. Feh.
So I'll tie up a few loose ends.
CONSUMER ALERT!
I got dinged by this, just like the author of this article. If you use your debit card for gas, beware. The QuikTrip near the old house in Omaha used to ding the card for $60 regardless of how much gas you actually got. Now that number has bumped up. It sucks if you get gas a few times in close proximity. Trust me, I KNOW.
COOL IT WITH THE VENTS!
(get it, it's a pun!)
Fucking seriously, people. Stop doing this. Stop it!
Stop sticking fake vents on your cheap ass cars. It's not road bling, it's stupid. Why are you drawing attention to a shitty stock Impala in the first place? This is a car you want to draw the eye AWAY from. And that goes for your Hyundai's, Kia's and '93 Ford Taurus' as well.
CHEER UP!
The news of Tim Russert dying this morning got me surprisingly down. He was a nice calm rock on MSNBC and even though I didn't catch Meet the Press all that often, I did appreciate his even-measured style. He'll be missed. Instead of mourning, I'm inclined to celebrate life. So here's a video of a guy wearing a green gift bag fucking a giant Cheetoes sculpture:
MORE LINKS!
Were you a highly strung youngster like I was? Then you'll love reliving the worst parts of your childhood at Kindertrauma!
How much stuff do you need? Probably just 100 things. Any more is overkill.
If you're like me, then you're 5'9", your name is Marv and you LOVED National Lampoon's Vacation (as in one of the all-time favorite comedies). Well some other ardent fan made a very faithful recreation of the greatest vacation vehicle of all time: The Wagon Queen Family Truckster in Metallic Pea. (What, you thought it was the Antarctic Blue SuperSportswagon with the CB and the optional rally fun pack?)
Mac Shareware goodness: Someone made a version of Stickies that's actually worth using.
For once I find myself wishing that print wasn't dead. Because sometimes it's wonderfully weird.
That's all for today. I was kind of bummed out by the lukewarm response to After Dark post one (I gauge popularity totally on comments). But I'll probably push forward with mags 2 & 3 nonetheless. If there's something specific you'd like to see from them let me know!
KTHXBAI! (and Huzzah!)
