Holy cow!

I'm not even sure how I made it through the day but somehow, I managed. I was up until at least 3 a.m. packing, watching t.v., dancing around my apartment, and working on this website. How very retarded. I also got a surprise phone call from my ex-beau from a DECADE ago whom I dated for three years. Woah. He's engaged now so I shan't disclose his name, but it was most certainly nice to talk with him. He's a real sweetheart.

In the midst of trying to get out of the office, HeyChristine.com KICKED IN. I guess it "propagated" as it needed to and kicked in just as I was leaving, so I RAN up to Gus' cube and sat down with him to finalize the installation process of the bulletin board software.

I honestly think that Gus ENJOYED the fact that I was panicking because he kept playing around KNOWING I was freaking out!! Ugh. Just trying to name the BBS was a battle because as he typed, I watched "Christine's Interactive" on the monitor become "Christine is Interactive". I almost had to bop him on the head but instead took these pictures above. LOL. Alright alright, it was kind of funny. I was totally neurotic.

I don't know how I ever made it to the airport IN the rain but I did and was WOWED by the new terminal. It looked like a cross between the Hong Kong airport and the one in Vancouver except smaller. I was pleasantly surprised. There was even an Internet café which of course I used at NT$100 for half an hour. Cool.

The flight to the United States of America...

As I boarded the plane, I picked up a copy of USA Today and noted the new size of the paper. My first thought was, you know, I really do like this narrow size compared with other papers. It's fit to size. My size, that is. My second thought was, hey I remember the very DAY when they announced the format change. I was in Las Vegas with Little Joe, and we actually had a cute discussion about this. My third thought was, oh right, I almost forgot, he said he was married and that his family whom he never mentioned the entire time we've known each other comes first in his life. My fourth thought was, ack! That was the same week that the stock market went down the toilet. Click on the newspaper for more photos:

The flight over was relatively uneventful except for a FIGHT that broke out between TWO VERY LARGE MEN sitting beside each other in the emergency row. I'm guessing they were both in their late 30's. This occurred during a movie when most of the passengers were sleeping. Note that they sat right underneath the television monitors and were also next to the mini-kitchen. Basically, they were in the spotlight when this happened. The reason they were fighting? Because each was in the other's space! LOL.

Eventually the fight I mean flight attendant had to separate them. It was just TOO FUNNY. Even funnier was when the other guy came back to get his things and said, "Thanks for bumping me up to First Class Ha Ha!" When will men ever grow up?!

Anyway, I made it to my final point of destination, and I was exhausted. My brother and his lawyer picked me up, and by the time we got home it was past midnight. We talked for awhile before hittin' the sack, and I didn't get back up until 15 hours later. When I did, it was dark outside.
