makeover

My bike all vinyl-ed up, city ready. Pretty! Bean likes it.

Slippers? Shoes? Or slipper shoes?

I was wearing mine and some lady made a snide remark, "Those aren't shoes!"

TSA sucks

So I'm sitting at Syracuse Hancock Airport because I missed not one, but two flights. Granted, I was dumb for showing up way too late, but I didn't have my shit together + it was 4 in the morning.

So immediately some dorky guys cut me in line. Tell me how is that even possible? Then I'm finally standing there checking my bag and bike (BIG annoying hassle) and the Delta lady tells me, "I'm just gonna book you on the next flight... it's $50." Okay?? And then my bag was too heavy and she was like "That's going to be $75." I'm thinking "BLEEEEEGHHGH! Seriously I don't have that kind of money, I'm jobless, I've been jobless for a month, AND I'm going to be paying for two rents." So I took out my big gigantic bike lock because it weighs like 8 lbs and I ask the TSA guy down there if I would be allowed to carry it on, to which he replied "Yes."

So then I'm running upstairs, waiting in line to go through security, all frazzled. Then the TSA buttholes upstairs take me aside and search my bag (I ALWAYS GET FREAKING SEARCHED) and they determine that my lock is a weapon. Granted, it very well is, I could easily bash some guy's head in (muggers beware), but I mean that's why I checked it in in the first place. The buttholes then tell me I have to run it down to my checked baggage and put it back in my suitcase. And by the time I do that and go back through security, I missed my second flight. They had me in such a frenzy I was like hyperventilating.

Conclusion: TSA sucks. Domestic flights suck. And I effectively avoided paying a $75 overweight baggage fee. Jerks.

lazy buttpants

So the semester is (and has been) over, finally. I've pretty much been moping around for the past four weeks, and now I think I've had enough of staying in bed all day staring at the tube/randomly surfing the internet. There was a South Park episode on the other night, where they lose the internet, and it pretty much described life on South Beech Diet (the name of our wireless signal) to a T. When the internet goes out (as it routinely does), it really is a crisis.

As for the reason for my moping: I've just been kind of disenchanted by design lately. Sometimes I feel like it's a whole load of crap and it makes me want to quit school. I won't though. I just like to toy with the idea. I've been disappointed with our projects and my work, and I know I can do better, but I just have absolutely no drive to do so. Basically, I feel like I suck in every possible way imaginable even though I really probably don't and I shouldn't feel like I suck because there are many people who probably suck a bazillion times more and I thought that feeling like you suck was a phase you go through in high school.

Something inspire me PLEASE! I'm wasting away. I know I'm a creative person, but I feel like I've been trapped in this box and I can't get out.
