My flight to Houston - First Leg

The first leg of my flight to Houston (LGA to DWF) was pretty okay. My ipod played lots of Bon Iver, Eddie Vedder, and Radiohead (the Holy Trinity, Vedder is Jesus), and I read this month's issue of O Magazine (a guilty pleasure). The woman next to me did not bother me and there were no crying babies (successful flight musts). And I flew over some mountains (picture at left) or something. But it was a really long flight, points off for that. Also points off for American Airlines not being JetBlue (where are my damn blue potato chips, AA?!).

On the plus side of AA not being JetBlue, at least they didn't run out of planes for flights that they'd books, resulting in a 4-hour delay during which your Klonopin wears off, and then giving you a $50 -- fifty dollar! -- coupon for your troubles.

Blue potato chips? Is that true?

Yeah, on JetBlue they give you delicious blue potato chips.

See blue chips here.

Yeah, they're made from actual blue potatoes, but they get old after a while. We had about 10 boxes filled with bags of those at work, and I ate them everyday (several bags per day) for a month.

One day I came into work for breakfast and they were just disgusting. True story.

I think you're being a little hard on blue chips, Chris. Anything would get gross if you ate it every day for a month.

Not bibimbap. I ate that shit 5 days a week for lunch for like 4 or 5 months. And then for 4 months after, I just drank a glass of pickle brine and hit myself in the kidneys with a mallet every day at noon.

I make fun of white people who eat bibimbap in a story of mine. But I had to cut out that particular mockery in order to meet a word limit for a contest. True story.

Laurie, I'm glad your trip went relatively smoothly. My trip home was a disaster. I will think long and hard before I book with United again. I will avoid Chicago O'Hare at all costs. Leaving Dallas we were delayed 2 hours boarding. I sat for an hour on the tarmacadam before liftoff. Sat 45 mins before taxiing to the gate and this was all BEFORE the hell that was O'Hare. But don't worry, the public will never know because the website didn't show ANY delays for my trip. BAH!

oh, and sometime, i'll tell you the story about the steward who thought he was cute, but was really a douche bag. Nice vampire teeth, asshole!

We just got another shipment of those fucking blue chips in again (they're for SXSW).

God hates me.

I'll be happy to take some of those off your hands. My mailing address is on my facebook page.
