There was this Macworld article about overused tricks to speed up your system, and it included weeding Login Items and a fresh OS install, and it's really gotten under my skin - how can those things not work? Where does hope remain?!

These are the thoughts running through my head as I boot up on the flight home to SFO. Middle seat and JESUS does the guy to my right not understand how this thing is supposed to go. Legs all up in my section, arms entirely on my armrest - now he's almost sleeping on my shoulder. I'm the center seat! I got nothing! Help me out here and use your fucking aisle! The other guy gets the window as a pillow, you have completely unlimited air and floor space to your right. I have nothing. Get off me and let me type.

I guess that's what they call air rage.

Cried like a babe during Bridge to Terebithia, which as Kevin Smith said during the lead-in review (since when do Roeper and Kevin Smith do the thumbs?).

Alright, just successfully landed some elbow space. Go team.

Anyway, so I cried and then cried some more like I always do during airplane movies, now it's another 3 hours and apparently I stole a West Wing DVD from home - sweet! Home home home, you're so near.
