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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Pictures from Jilli's signing!

I took a crapload of pictures. Some of them are interestingly blurry. Some of them are non-interestingly blurry. If you flip through some of them, it's like a little Jilli animation.

Jilli and Pete, if any of them tickle your fancy, I can send you the hi-res versions.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

OMG, ComicCon sounds unbepolarbearinglievably fabulous!

Vortex and I share unpacking habits. I think it's a mind game I play with myself. If I can still see the suitcase, then the trip isn't over yet.

Me too. Or possibly I'm just a slob. One or the other.

Lily slays me. (So, nothing new there, then.)

Total amateur here, as I unpacked as soon as I got home. Granted, mainly that was because almost everything I brought needed to be washed, and I decided to do laundry as a way to stave off jet lag. So there's that.

I think Frankenbuddah is from the other side of the isle. My bag is still on the floor, mostly packed.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Did anyone else's checked bags get TSA-searched? I found a nice little "We have searched your bag" notice underneath the first layer. I hadn't even noticed that the tell-tale on the lock had been tripped.

Our wings are not tired.

One year when I sent the boys to basketball camp the TSA placed their note neatly right on top of my 'Instructions from Mom' note that I left on top in the boys' bags. I suspect they were amused by the fake instructions I had mixed with the brush your teeth and listen to your coaches instructions. I always include things like 'don't eat roadkill' to make sure the boys read the whole list.

No, but I did find out on my trip back from Seattle that a CPAP is a highly dangerous device that needs a special scan and needs to be re-run through the x-ray (insert ironic quotes as needed). I guess this isn't the case going from Boston to Seattle since they didn't mention it or remotely look twice at my baggage. I suspect the luggage check was part of the reason I completely lost track of Brenda and Sail at the terminal.

CPAP devices are listed at most of the airports I fly through as items that must be removed from carryon baggage the same as laptops, full size video game consoles, and tape based video cameras.

I just might spend too much time clearing security.

What about money clips? My money clip slowed me down. They had to go through my little butt-bag, take out the money clip (hand me my cash, but not credit cards) and rescan it. Yes, it prevented me from buying water/burger before getting on the plane, as it was I missed pre-boarding. No, what makes you think I'm bitter about it?

Omnis's bag is my bag.
You have a tux too? Crap. That was 42.2 pounds. Fed Ex will love me.
