[Friends-locked for soon-to-become-obvious reasons.] [Revoked after it became unnecessary.]

I've been waiting for more than a month to make this post, and to use that userpic. The best humor is a long time in the making.

I'll be flying from Atlanta to Boston, this afternoon, where I will be met by [livejournal.com profile] ian_smith and [livejournal.com profile] ddreslough, and then we'll all have dinner, then head back to where they live in Connecticut. I will be spending the holiday weekend (Memorial Day, for those not in the US or simply out of the loop) with those two and [livejournal.com profile] ddreslough's husband [livejournal.com profile] invisible_mouth and their daughter. And various cats, chickens, and other livestock. :)

I'll be non-posty during that time, probably. And unless the muse (Thalia, probably) moves me, this will be the last post for today. Perhaps one of them will post about my visit while I'm actually up there. And hopefully, it will not start with, "Ugh! I can't believe what a bastard that Kaa is!" :)

But you have to admit, I couldn't--simply could not--pass up a chance to use this userpic.

I'm sure that, by the time I'm back Monday evening, I will more than happily paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson's pre-famous line, "I've had it with this motherfuckin' snake on these motherfuckin' planes!" :) I dislike the experience of flying. I don't mind the flying itself. It's all the shit that comes with it that I hate. The endless hours of waiting. The cramped seating. The noisy kid that somehow always ends up seated right behind or in front of me. The ear problems. The useless little snacks.

Oh, and I decided to get myself a little belated birthday gift, last night, to help alleviate some of the boredom that also comes with flying. Went to Fry's on the way home from work. I've got it loaded with five audiobooks and about 5 days' worth of music. I even own most of it. :) Now I'm one of you. You may commence with the gloating. *sigh* Go ahead, I know you want to. A snake can only resist temptation for so long. [Made a funny, I did!]
