Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dunno what this picture is... bubble-girl takes bubble-dog for walkies? Equipment for walking the dog in the post-nuclear holocaust?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like it. It smells of Miracles.

I think I just finished up Full Metal Alchemist. Twitchy and unsleepy. Twitchy and unsleepy. My poor sister has conked out. She comes here to take care of me and falls victim to the lergies.

I'm going to have to vote for the guy eaten by a tiger at the SF Zoo.

Because nobody gets eaten down there?

Precisely.

Happy Birthday, Jesse and Theo!

I am supposed to pick someone up from LAX. The only problem is I don't know what time her flight gets in. She was supposed to email me that information, but I never got it. I emailed her yesterday evening, but she must not have received that in time. I've also sent her a text message to call me the second her flight lands, and I keep checking her phone every half hour to see if it's turned on yet. So far, it's not. From what I remember when she asked me to get her, she was guessing her plane got in around 6:30, but she wasn't really sure, and that's why she was going to email me the time. The flight is coming from Eastern Europe, so clearly once she got in the air, she was going to stay that way for most of the day, and thus incommunicado, but that still leaves me wondering when, exactly, I'm supposed to go make the 45 minute drive to the airport. Although, on the bright side, the later this flight is, the less likely I am to face intense traffic.

Do you know the flight number and airline? If you do, you can check on-line, or phone the airline.

Nope! I have no idea what those are.

Well, here is a list of flights scheduled to arrive in LAX between 6:00 A.M. and 9:00 A.M. on the 27th.

You can also change the query to check planes from 3:00 A.M to 6:00 AM. How you narrow it down to spot your friends flight I don't know. I presume she also did not tell you which city she was changing planes in? For all you know she could have been routed through San Francisco or Honolulu?

Yeah, that's precisely the problem. I seriously have no idea whatsoever. I know the country she started out in, and the airport she's arriving at, that's it. Her husband is out of town also, and he's not picking up his phone either, though his is at least turned on. Her brother in law, who's with her husband, is also not answering his phone. And even if I could figure out a way to get in contact with her family in Europe, none of them speak any English. This is beginning to get very frustrating. And worrying. Thank you for your help, though!

ETA: I guess I should've been calling on the saints, but I finally heard from her. She had a visa problem, and she wasn't able to get on a plane at all. So, no LAX for me tonight. Yay!
