So, due to how hectic Thursday evening became, I didn't get pictures of my collage-wrapped present. However, our chapter's incoming president blogged about the gift exchange, and you can catch a glimpse of it in the top picture. It's right under the, ahem, giant cock: [link]

You could come over and do our dishes tonight while you're sleepless. You'd be like our li'l dishwashing elf! Plus the drive up and down I-5 will be very relaxing.

Leaving for the airport in 4 hours. Should probably think about sleeping soon.
Quiz: Ponying up an extra hundred and some bucks to upgrade to First Class was a reasonable decision because:
a) flight still cheaper than the direct flight I talked myself out of
b) since I may be rushed with having to return a rental car and shuttle out to the airport, the reduced time required for check-in and security that comes with FC status is simply practical
c) if O'Hare weather cancellations and delays are still going on, I might have a better chance of actually getting out as a VIP
or
d) I deserve it, dammit
(Hint: it ain't D)

or e) if you get trapped on the runway at O'Hare, it's much more pleasant to be trapped in first class.

I'll go with f -- my limited experience with first class upgrades says that you arrive in much better shape, muscle-wise and mental-wise. I suspect the air is better in that part of the cabin, too.
(That doesn't stop me from hating the people sprawled in first class as I make my way back to the cattle pens, though. I always feel like announcing loudly that the first ten rows in the aircraft have the lowest survival rates in crashes.)
Yesterday, I found out that Kickass Cupcakes bakes a batch of vegan cupcakes every day! I foresee more frequent expeditions to Davis Square in my future, also because When Pigs Fly has opened a bakery outlet practically next door....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I decided recently that I should upgrade myself on the next business trip I take, because I'm not paying for the rest of the flight, but of course my flight today is on a plane small enough to not have first class. Ah well.
