This isn't new. But I have to share.

Art of Flight Tracking

First of all, apologies for not posting lately (except for lame attempt at moblogging). But I have a good excuse. I moved! Let me tell you, I hate moving. With a passion. I only moved to the other side of town but it was still a pain in the ass. My mom is right. I have too much shit. Except she doesn't use that word. Because she talks to me in Japanese.

Anyway, that's not what this post is about!!!

My best friend from NJ was in town this past weekend, and he unfortunately had to go home today. (;_;) I don't suffer from fear of flying myself, but I have weird anxiety about other people flying. And it's all rain and stormy today so that added to the worriment. So, I've been obsessively tracking his flight.

First, I went to FlyteComm. I don't know why the flight took the path it did, but it went east, as you would expect, but then turned sharply and went northwest for a bit and pretty much turned around. Weird...

Then I decided to go to USATODAY.com to see what they had to say. Then finally to the NWA website.

FlyteComm

USATODAY.com

NWA

I'm confused... Where are they getting the estimated arrival time data from??? And why does NWA's actual departure time different from the other two sites? I mean this is ACTUAL departure time... You would think they would all have the same time for that. My guess is that Northwest does arrival/departure to/from the gate.

I just got a text message confirming that he got in safe! Yay!

So, final results:

FlyteComm => "Arrived" 9:19 PM
USATODAY.com => "Landed" 9:18 PM
NWA => "Arrived" 9:28 PM (earlier it said "Landed" at 9:17 PM)

Wow. I just wasted so much time tracking this flight using 3 websites... (And analyzing.) It's almost like I was on the plane myself. Hahaha. Except I kind of had fun. And I wasn't cramped between two gravitationally challenged people who smell.

Now that I'm done moving, look forward to moar worthless posts coming soon!

Ohhh Boy!

Mmm. Hot dogs.

Dog Days of Summer

It is friggin' hot. Hot, hot, hot. The forecast for this week is not looking so good either.

Ok, so maybe it doesn't look so bad if you live down South or something but this is Ann Arbor. Michigan. I thought summers are supposed to be comfortable here. I mean I tolerate the frigid temperatures in the winter so I can enjoy a nice cool dry summer. We might beat/tie the record high today which was set LAST YEAR. Global warming? We need more pirates. (Only a few of you will get that...)

Anyway, so I'm doing my part to be all Green and stuff. I HAVE NOT USED MY AC ALL SUMMER. Well, to be honest, I'm just being cheap. And testing myself to see how much I can tolerate the heat. I'm only home in the evenings, so I just keep all the windows and blinds shut all day. Then when it's cooler outside than it is inside, I open up all the windows and blast my fans. It's been working so far. But we'll see about tonight... It's supposed to be all gross. Oh, and my plant died because it got too hot inside for it. :( Sad.

But I cheat because I use the AC in my car sometimes. And my office is nice and cool. But I don't have control over that.

Mugs at Work

How often do you wash your mug at work?

And when you wash it, do you use soap?

I've been making observations, and I am disturbed. Most people that I know just throw away their leftover coffee or tea from the previous day, maybe rinse the mug with water and refills. So if their mugs are white or light colored, you can see the stains that have settled in. Gross.

I on the other hand, wash my mug everyday. I try to do it before I leave work. If I leave in a hurry, I wash it the next morning. My mug is white and pristine. No rings of stains here. Not only do I wash it everyday, I wash it with dish soap. And I don't like to use the communal sponge so I use a tiny piece of paper towel instead. (I know, I'm killing trees, but it's for a good cause. My mental sanity.)

So am I like OCD crazy? Or are people I am surrounded by dirty people?

PS - Do you wash your underwear before you wear it for the first time? I thought everyone did, but apparently some people do not...
