Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Our wings are not tired.

Getting ready to walk to Cable Car Coffee for breakfast. Coffee in hotel room was very tasty, and I even figured out how to use the machine first try! Very nice room. Slept so well. The Line gets an excellent review so far.

Other than coordinating dinner tonight with Shir, anything on people's to do list? Baseball? Any ideas? We are in pretty chill mode, but open to anything.

Also, I should mention that someone (Vortex) has a birthday tomorrow. Not sure if she has plans yet.

Boarding my flight! I do not have nine pairs of shoes (I think. Don’t hold me to that). But Steph did save me from a critical boot shortage.

If you can’t tell, I have fully converted to checked bags for direct, non-business travel.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My flight gets in tomorrow early afternoon, so count me in for dinner and/or rooftop bar shenanigans. (Although I will probably nap as soon as I get to the hotel, because I have to drag myself out of bed at the stupid-early [for me] hour of 6 a.m.)

But Steph did save me from a critical boot shortage.

Picture my cape flapping in the wind as I look down from my perch for other imminent travelers who need packing guidance.

My big question is: do I want to wear the same dress all day Saturday? And I feel like the answer is yes (it's a pretty dress and it's stupid comfortable without being a t-shirt dress that might also be a nightshirt). I dunno. I guess I'll try on Potential Memorial Dress one more time to see if I really want to pack it.

The biggest question is: I have a pedicure today, and I can't decide what color. I think burgundy. Or silver. Maybe teal.

I’m thinking mani-pedi sometime tomorrow if I don’t land on something else to do.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh no, I only brought two pairs of shoes, did I do it wrong?

My flight tomorrow gets in at 7:30 - will anyone be around for a late dinner close to the Majestic? (I'm estimating I'll get to the hotel around...9?)

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

So I was right at the security gate, and this guy behind me says their flight is boarding, and asks me if they could cut ahead. I shook my head no, I guess because IATA. But! they guy in front of me lets them go. And it turns out that they are a large family, with two kids in strollers, and TEN trays of carry-ons, of course loaded with stuff that you’re not supposed to carry on. I was right there at the gate, and it took almost 30 minutes to get through.

Fortunately, my flight is delayed, so I didn’t stress out too hard.

Tom, I would have lost my entire mind. I admire your cool.
