I only threw up because I made myself throw up. I thought it would make me feel better afterwards, since that can sometimes happen. It didn't, though, so I just puked up tasty kabobs for no good reason.
i WILL note at this point, though, that i started drinking long before everyone else on BOTH days, and no one really had a chance of catching up to me given their own rates of consumption. also, i shouldn't have gone out on that boat.
as a student of music, i was sure mello should have been able to keep better time.
lucky was a good guy - much smarter than he first appears, and extremely conversationally-interesting. I would go so far as to label him "quick witted". Emp talked to me for a while, and that was cool. I hadn't thought about the amount of privatization that's going on in the US already, and what that kind of subcontracting could end up doing to our health care system. it's frightening. twolips always laughed at my dirty jokes, which was great, and zoomie couldn't get enough of the "wind" in his "sail", if you know what i mean.
finally, i find it surprising that Brian doesn't like people who hate - doesn't even comprehend where it comes from - when that's about 64% of mello's conversational contribution.

on my trip home, i arrived at the airport what i believed to be only an hour early. i thought "not so bad, this gets me to my gate on time".
well, the inbound flight was late. once they disembarked (a teenage boy next to me got all pissy with his mom when she called it "deplaned" - he said "mom, seriously, i doubt that's actually a word." what a tool!), we boarded.
then, once we got out on the runway, the oil pressure gauge apparently stopped working. so, we had to head back into the gate, wait for them to troubleshoot the issue (it was the gauge, not the sensor or the oil pressure), wait for them to locate the correct kind of gauge, wait for them to FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK on acquiring the gauge, and then they were finally able to install the gauge and get us mo... oh, wait, we have to wait for clearance to leave the terminal, then clearance to enter the line for the runway. okay, NOW we're leaving... at 6:30pm, EST.
I think I got out of there after lucky.
When we landed in Houston, there had been weather-related delays across the country. Thousands of people were stuck in IAH, and they were all extremely pissed off about being there @ 9pm.
i walked over to get myself some pizza, since i figured i'd missed my flight by 3 hours already, and anything departing from houston to austin would at least be a little later. the pizza was EXTREMELY tasty.
then, i found a little out of the way customer service stand where a lady helped me get on firrst class for Austin. I touched down in my hometown around 11:30pm, got home by just past midnight, and then promptly slept.
Im sorry your way back home was asstastic. Did you make it to work on time the next morning? We would have made it home in 3 and 1/2 hours but we stopped to eat, again.
