Other assorted holiday notes

1. My first meal of the New Year? Ramen and eggs (undercooked some ramen noodles slightly, let 'em rest in scrambled egg batter for a while, then cooked it all up and shredded cheese tossed on top). No, I did not eat any black eyed peas today, for much the same reason I didn't sacrifice a goat (which would be that I was either out of goats and legumes, or I don't hold with superstitious claptrap).

2. Watched two episodes of Elayna's Popular Mechanics for Kids: Rip-Roaring Rollercoasters and All-Access for Fun DVD with Miss Kid tonight. I can't recommend these DVDs highly enough -- this is the third one that Elayna has gotten, and she adores them. That said, it's a little creepy watching a young (14-16, depending on the episode) Elisha Cuthbert, looking all perky and innocent, and realizing that she'd soon go on to pose for Maxim and play a porn star.

3. For dinner, I had the remains of the pizza from two nights ago. Yes, a Papa Johns pizza lasted me three nights. Their pan pizza is really that damned filling. Also damned tasty.

4. Elayna's bag arrived a little after ten. Flute was safely ensconced in the middle. And, of course, there was the cute little TSA "Hey, we checked your bag" note.

Today's plan: relaxing around the house in the morning, hitting the Thrashers game in the afternoon.

Best team in the NHL, my fat ass

Man, that was a good hockey game. No, it was a great hockey game.

Wow.

Was a little disappointed in the asshole fans booing Heatley from the get-go, but otherwise, a damned fun experience. Some fucking brilliant plays, and since we had superb seats, we didn't miss a thing.

Elayna loves the new thunder sticks they give out, and managed to make plenty of noise with them. :-)

Overall, nothing to complain about with this one. And as of this second, we're one of the top eight! Woohoo!

*Snort*

I will not try to Rochambeau a beholder, Nor will I try and wedgie a doppleganger.

Playing the flight status game

At 7, I checked 'song's flight status online, and it was scheduled to arrive at 12:44 (over 2.5 hours later than originally scheduled). Ack!

An hour later, it was arriving at Midnight.

Now it's up to 12:50.

Sheesh. I think I preferred the old days, when you simply had no information at all.
