Britney And I Are Sad

I spent so many hours at the fercockda St. Louis airport yesterday that I can barely remember what I did over my vacation. My airport hang was a result of my adamant refusal to call ahead and check to see if my flight was delayed, which I somehow deemed impossible. I paid the price and got to watch humans in very poor travel wear coming and going for three hours.

There were a lot of folks in shorts at the airport who were not necessarily going or coming somewhere hot. What does that mean? You're not ALLOWED to wear shorts in the winter, do people not know that?? By the way, if you were holding out hope for a renaissance of people dressing up for flights, move on. If they're charging three bucks for trail mix in coach, who's going to bother throwing on something more than stained shorts. The people in "sweatsuit alternatives" looked downright fancy yesterday.

I found the whole lot of wintertime shorts people depressing yesterday, but I may have had residual suicidal thoughts from my "brunch" with my family at a "restaurant" called First Watch. Has anyone ever been to one of these places? (It's a chain is why I ask.) Anyway, the eggs are fake (i.e. not real eggs) and it provides all the charm of eating in a hospital cafeteria. Or a hostel for the very elderly. It was very very very very sad, the whole place. Very VERY sad. And the waitress who tried SUPERhard to make it NOT sad actually made it worse.

And the eggs are not eggs, do you get me?

With the exception of the shorts-people and faux eggs, my time in St. Louis was really fun and chillaxy. I saw a lot of old friends and family and generally ate cheesy bits. I completed next to none of the the pre-hols stuff I wanted set out to do.

I did see the "Rosie" variety show and Babara Walter's amazing interview with Obama. What can I say about the Rosie thing except that I think if NBC picked it up they could learn from what didn't go well and make it great. I don't think that will necessarily happen though. Barbara's interview with the Obamas was fantastic. Did you see it?
