Another week of recovering from sleep! This time, I came back from Chris's bachelor party in Vegas. Good times were had by all. The pools (wave machine! river!) at Mandalay Bay are amazing. (Yes, there were strippers, but it was very class compared to past experiences. Are they being exploited? C disagrees on this, but especially after reading about them, it seems no less absurd than being a model or actress, or anything else, really. they definitely make good money. Sadly, only a few of them displayed any real athleticism, despite Greenspun's belief after seeing the same art I saw that strippers who can hang upside down were a dime a dozen.)
Unfortunately, on the way there, I missed yet another flight, and had to pay a fee AND hang out at the airport for 5 hours. Delta has this new system where they guarantee you on the flight, but you have to wait till 3 hours before. This meant I had to hang out without food for 2 hours before I could go through security. Lame. JFK is far too annoying to get to, although considering I was late for a bus that left 5 blocks from here to DC, I suspect I might have some lateness issues of my own.
Meanwhile, I'm still deliberating about whether I want a Nano or a hard drive player that's Napster-compatible. This would be easier if I weren't also committing to a music provider. LimeWire still seems more convenient than being locked into ITunes for the rest of my life. But anything has to beat my poor little Audible player. Luckily Song has lots of great mp3s to listen to during the flight.
With the added time waiting for my flight, I managed to finish Super-Cannes. It's a little heavy-handed at points and a little obvious in others, but overall is very entertaining.
Oh, and Catherine and I went to Grocery, where, despite my apprehensions, the vegetable plate entree turned out to be both exotic and tasty, if a bit heavy on beets. Yum!
I'll conclude with a shoutout: Good luck on Grand Challenge, Richard!
