Friend: So you might be crazy?
Bill: My invisible dinosaur attorney advises me not to answer that question.

- iPod being replaced in toto, new one on its way from Shanghai now, bliss approaches.
- Luggage found, laundry washed, bliss.
- New laptop arrived while I was away, using it now, BLISS.

The new laptop is teh sex. That’s all I have to say.

And… um… well… I’ll just spit it out: I LIKE WINDOWS VISTA.
Confirm! Continue! Permit! Deny!: The permit/deny stuff is annoying, but it only comes up when I’m setting up programs or modifying things; in normal use it’s not really an issue. And there’s something to be said for knowing when anything on your system is trying to change.
Yellow OS needs food: It’s a resource hog, but I have a dual-core processor and ram out the wazoo and so far my CPU (as monitored on the pre-installed Google sidebar) is showing about as much activity as a granny dozing in a lawn chair.
Get out of my underwear drawer: I opted out of most information-sharing options where possible, but the OS came preinstalled so I didn’t have full control. I do note definite areas where info is being sent out - for example, the games tab, which cleverly and cooly noted every new game I added to the machine, has pictures of the product box and product details such as publisher/developer for every game I installed. This is hella cool, but also means that at some point my machine communicated what games I had installed in order to get that extra info. Privacy vs cool… some people will always love the extra, some people will always feel violated. I’m on the fence for now.

Altogether I’m having a better time with my Vista experience than I expected. I still have some reservations about information being shared, and worry a little about connectivity being thwarted for my own good, but so far so good.

… Although it’s not where my luggage is. Wheeee!

There’s no bedhead like airport bedhead.

Sleepover rating for Chicago O’Hare: 4/5. The seats are wide, flat, and adequately padded, allowing for sleep on both sides as well as the back, and the armrests leave enough room for legs to pass under for a full stretch. Props to Hudson Booksellers for the free tote bag with my purchase of three books: the three paperbacks, when placed in the tote bag, made a surprisingly comfortable pillow. General temperature was good, allowing for comfortable sleep in just the clothes I had with me.
The only negatives were the thick seams on the seat edges, which were noticeable where the seats were slightly misaligned. Might be some bruising there.
Overall, not the worst place to spend the night by a long shot.

I found myself a corner in a vacant gate waiting area, with the bonus of a good view of the outdoor electronic sign for the gate, which conveniently displays the time. A four-foot high wall clock! Being in a corner let me stash my bag where it was reasonably safe, i.e. anyone trying to fiddle with it would be conspicuously Where They Should Not Be, and as cleaning staff were constantly passing by I allowed my paranoia to subside enough to get a few hours of sleep.

I’m awake a little early, but I’d rather be tired than risk missing my flight home. Soon Starbucks will open for my caffeinating pleasure.

Fun fact: I picked up my Starbucks habit as a result of travelling. At home I avoided them like the plague, preferring local or at least Canadian coffeeshops; but in airports they’re a known quantity, and in the smaller american cities Starbucks is the only place to find a real cup of coffee (non-drip, by my standards).

Soon: home.

Me, I wished that I had more time between connections in Chicago so I could see a bit more of the airport. Well tadaah, flight delayed half an hour + connection time of half an hour means, yes, a missed connection. That flight was scheduled to leave at 8pm (9pm Montreal time), and the next is only at 6am. Whee. I got a hotel discount coupon but I don’t relish the idea of coming back to wrangle through security for a 6am flight, so I’ll be looking for some soft benches to sleep on.
I’m currently online by grace of Chicago O’Hare wifi, not too expensive thank goodness.

My iPod is broken, so no music.
My Blackberry has dead batteries, so no connectivity except for when I can find a plug for the laptop.
My headset is in my unavailable luggage so I can’t watch movies or listen to music on the laptop.
Tired and really really REALLY wanted to be home in my own bed tonight, been homesick for days.
Also started being sick yesterday and definitely have sinusitus today so not only do I get to spend the night in an airport, I get to do so with hot lava running down my throat.
Whee.
Sigh.

But… spent the morning at the tide pools in San Diego, which was awesome except for my camera’s batteries dying before the sun came out.
Had a good visit generally. I really like my replacement and regret that we only got to hang out for a week.
I went to LEGOLAND! YEAH! And then the security checkpoint guy at San Diego airport loved my lego Darth Vader shirt, pointing out that his name was “Starwars” - for real!

There’s probably more, but I’m beat. Off to find a comfy chair.
