GRRR. Stuck overnight in Atlanta. →[More:]Oh well, at least Delta's footing the bill. What fun things are the rest of you doing?

I HATE the Atlanta airport--I've been stranded overnight there almost every time I've flown, and if I haven't been stranded, I've had multiple gate changes.

Anyway. I just made pizza from scratch and I'm reading a book!

I'm watching 'Chopped' and wondering why Chris Santos thinks he is so all that.

leesh, I'll see your ATL and raise you one DFW. Holy fuck what an annoying airport to be stuck in :P

I'm currently waiting for our slower-than-snot server to upload a service requisition. Then I'm going to go ride my bike.

I will grant you that DFW is a much worse place to be stranded in. Everything in that place is depressing.

I am baking an acorn squash. I have never eaten acorn squash before. I hope it is good. It smells weird.

I made pizza from scratch tonight too. Unfortunately we all stuffed ourselves on snack cake earlier in the day, so no one was hungry for it.

Damn, I wish I could get down there and buy you a beer or three, deadcowdan! And here you are in town on one of the most HUMID nights of the year so far... well, I'm sure Delta put you up somewhere with AC. :)

Well, we just got back from tossing the Frisbee at the beach, and are now working on money logistics (FUN right) and hopefully in a few minutes we'll go out for some beer'n'nachos.

If I were stranded in ATlanta, I might also go out for beer'n'nachos. Or maybe I would try to find a place to hear some blues?

I am going to make hummus with my new immersion blender and watch old Avengers episodes.

Heh... that bar was the site of my first ever psychedelic experience.

Went for a drive that ended in us buying steaks and things to eat with steaks. Then I cooked steaks and things to eat with steaks, and then we ate steaks and things to eat with steaks. They were yummy yummy yummy.

I had a weirdly productive day today -- normally Fridays are a bit aimless for me -- that also included a great deal of leisure time, so I'm mostly just sitting here confused but contented.
