God Help me, I'm stuck in New Jersey

So some of you may think that I'm in Paris. That'd be nice. Rather I have about seven hours to bitch and moan about my late connecting flight. So, I figure I have time to post an entry. Leaving O'Hare went really well, but coming into Newark went so poorly that it burned about an hour of the time I needed to make the next flight. I had about an hour and a half, the 30 minutes were lost to the usual things like navigating around the airport and waiting for the frickin' AirTram. So I got a voucher to stay in a Holiday Inn that's pretty close to a prison.

The bus going there was crazy, a convention just got out, so there was hella traffic at around 10:30pm. That and people dressed to the nines were walking around in the street. The shuttle was so packed that there was a man practically sitting in the bus driver's lap, children were perched on some kind of ledge, and I was spooning with a lady who just got back from Cancun or some tropical place. Mind you, it took probably 45min to an hour to get to the hotel. Needless to say we started to get to know each other for lack of options. By that I mean conversation for an perves that assume I was in a 50 something shuttle orgy. Any way, I'm probably going to go buy some ridiculously expensive deoderant as, it's just one more of those things that I realized I should've put on carry on.

Over and out from Newark, a place that looks like the ugly places in Chicago.
