Home safely, after nearly not making it onto my flight. I was 4/4 with 3 seats remaining, and there was a whole thing of either an F/A taking the seat, or me. Of course, the F/A had a higher priority. The gate agent was trying to figure out if she would be willing to take jump so I can have the seat - which she wasn't very happy about since she ( Read more... )

It's kind of crazy hearing what people are up to six years later. By most accounts, everyone I know/knew is rather successful at what they're ( Read more... )

I smell like dog, but I don't particularly mind since Chris's dog, Ollie (aka Oliver) is way cute. It's good times reconnecting with folk, even late at night over tapas. Strange how my first time in a tapas bar is not while I'm in LA but while I'm in SF in Noe Valley in like, the last weekend in California for some unknown quantity of time ( Read more... )
