stuck inside dallas airport with the standby blues again. →[More:] my stepmom used to be a flight attendent. one of the privileges of her position is the ability to fly standby -- that is, to fill unsold seats on flights. most of the time, this works very well.

tonight, unfortunately, is not one of those occasions. i wasn't able to get to laguardia. the newark flight a half hour later was booked to the gills. and the philly flight would have arrived too late to catch a train back to new york.

so if any of you would like to hang out, and you happen to have an airline ticket, feel free to drop by gate c12 and look for the bespectacled dude reading a portuguese novel. that'll be me. please bring beer. these fucking barbarians shut down all the terminal bars at 9;30. that's right. i can't even get a decent beer from chilli's or tgi-fucking-fridays. and i'm bored. and lonely.

i'll be your best friend.
