I still can’t seem to find anything I want to blog about. This is probably related to the fact that 1) I’m in the pre-finals end of semeter rush and 2) I have no idea what I am going to do this summer. I was really hoping I’d be able to land a job that was a little more useful to my long-term career plans than making Frappuccinos at Starbucks all summer but nothing has panned out.

In short, I’m tired, I’m overworked, and I’m bummed about my lack of a decent summer job. It’s hard to find stuff to blog about when I’m in a mood like that. Bear with me.

Sorry about the continued silence. I’m catching up from the trip & still pretty tired.

I slept 9+ hours in my blessedly comfortable bed last night after a very long day… and am still pooped. I might even take a nap before class tonight. I have a few things bookmarked over the course of the trip that I’d like to comment on but I’m too tired.

Following up to yesterday, we got interviewed by the local ABC affiliate as we were collecting our bags at baggage claim & made the nightly news. You can see the report here if you really want to (but it’s an 8+MB download, be warned).

So as it happens, Scott and I were on the United flight diverted to Chicago today. In fact, the guy pulled off the plane was in the seat right next to Scott.

Long story short, it was much ado about nothing. We weren’t scared at all; the guy was obviously big into holistic/Chinese medicines, but he didn’t make us nervous at all. It seemed more like a big misunderstanding than anything else. I hope DHS doesn’t treat the guy too harshly.

We’ve been in Chicago for about 2 hours, waiting for them to get everything sorted out. I have to reboard now. Will post more when we get to SF.

That last post was Post #500, according to my Activity Log. Wow.

I hate sleeping on fold-out couch beds. They all suck. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since I left SF. Fortunately, we go back to SF and my oh so comfy plush-pillow-top bed tomorrow.

There’s stuff going on but I’m too tired to comment coherently. Just wanted to check in.
