So, after a 5.25 hour delay, my flight finally departed San Diego. Of course, my connecting flight left without me. I had planned for this, and already had my itinerary changed to reflect the next flight out at 7:30am. So, I'm here at O'Hare airport for the next 7 hours. I'm starving, but nothing is open. Chicago charges for their wireless access. BAD CHICAGO!! All the courtesy cots were already filled with sleeping people, so I'm waiting it out awake. After a short expedition, I managed to find an open power outlet for my laptop. My lap top's battery is shot, so power outlets are necessary. There is an ultra annoying theme song of some sort that keeps playing over the loudspeakers every few minutes, at a much higher volume than the normal music they are playing. It makes me want to kill. I wish one of these food places would open. I'm sitting in the food court. I'm chatting with Lindsay trying to pass the time. This airport is still pretty busy for almost 2am. One of these food places would make a killing if it were to open. Are you sensing a theme here? Well, now is as good of a time as any to see if I can download pictures from my camera to my laptop effectively. Hmm, downloads pretty fast to my laptop. There's that blasted theme song again. ACK!

This is my laptop LIVE! Well, not really, but it was for a sec.

I'm coming to you live from SD international airport, where my flight has been delayed for more than 4 hours. The weather here is fine, but unfortunately my connection is in Chicago where heavy fog and snow has clogged air traffic to a standstill. I'm writing to you now out of sheer boredom. I still have more than 3 hours to wait for my flight, then I'll have to wait overnight at Chicago airport to get myself to Raleigh tomorrow morning, approximately 12 hours later than originally planned. Then I'll have an hour car ride to my mom's house where I'll get to rest for a few hours before attending the first of my holiday family gatherings. Thanks for the ride to the airport, Robert, but I should've waited another couple of hours and put in some OT at work! Oh, and big props to SD airport for free wireless internet access. That shocked me!
