Underwear Ninja comes with Space Suit
to blog or not to blog, which is the path a true underwear ninja must take? whichever path it be, it will surely be a rough-hewn one. argyle, possibly.

gatorade and what now?
well i'll be leaving on sunday for "gamefest" in seattle. while there i'll learn about implementing audio into xbox 360 games. woot!
i'm flying jetBlue flight 175 from New York, and flight 176 on the 16th back. a nice 7 hours in a seat with minimal leg-room. both ways.
so this terrorist plot comes at a "convenient" time. and by "convenient" i mean bad. now i'll have to wait for an extra 3 hours in the airport.

but you know what... is it really a "bad" time? i mean, WHEN is a good time? hmm?

i was all bummed about waiting for 3 hours in the airport and how big of a hassle it is. i was bummed for all of about 1 hour. and then i saw the TIME magazine photojournalism of the foiled plot:
flights canceled
delays
hordes of people sitting in boredom in airports

it hit me. i woke up and realized... absolutely beautiful..

now THOSE are the kind of photos i'd like to see after a terrorist plot. photos of people in various degrees of fatigue, waiting for a ride home. there wasn't a single photo of a crashed plane. no photos of familys torn apart. no photos of innocent people losing their lives due to a selfish obsessed self-loathing abhoration of a human existance.
yes, i was very happy to see the people put out like that. and i'm all too willing to have to wait for however long in the airport or to not be allowed to take items in a carry-on bag. i'll smile all the way to the 12th chime because it could be worse. a whoollle lot worse.

a few hours is a meager price to pay

    They can take my carry-on shampoo when they prey it from my cold dead fingers :-) Have fun in Seattle!

    Yes, I would much rather hear reports all day long about how the plot was foiled. More pictures and news like 9-11 should never have to be seen again.

    Have FUN at your conference.
