Cell Phones and Toothpaste

So…

I flew to Portland yesterday.  Lovely city.  Nice airport.

I almost fell out of my seat laughing when we were told to turn off all electronic equipment and cell phones as they might interfere with the navigational equipment of the plane.  I can’t carry toothpaste on the flight with me because I might be able to bring the plane down, somehow, even though nobody has ever figured out how, but I and every other person on the flight can carry on a cell phone and a laptop computer and nobody says boo.  Well, they say please turn them off, but nobody ever actually CHECKS.  Carrying more than three ounces of deodorant can get someone on the no-fly list, but “please” is enough to make us safe on the personal electronics front.

Silly old TSA.

Collectibles

Another domain added to my collection: livingsnot.com

Collections

Some people collect thimbles, some collect shot glasses. I’ve decided to start collecting domain names.

The first step…

is to accept that my bathroom is out of my control

Holiday Shopping

I hate Christmas shopping. I hate going to malls, I hate crowds, I hate the whole thing.

So I’ve come up with a plan, and I think it’s pretty brilliant:

Piss off every member of my family, all my coworkers and both my friends. Piss them off badly enough that I’m not expected to get them gifts.

The only part of my plan which needs work is how I make nicey-nice with everyone after the holidays. I have a birthday in February, and I’ll want presents then.
