Cold Welcome

I flew in from San Francisco last night, and this time I was prepared for the cold weather. I took a photo from the plane and in the Toronto airport. They have made many improvements to the main terminal - Terminal 1 - which is the home for all of Air Canada's flights.

I can't complain this time because I got to fly business class both ways and no-one stole my luggage. The service was nice, and the food decent. I didn't bother watching "Dream Girls" and played my Nintendo DS instead.

There were some interesting characters in business class. You have the frequent fliers (like me), the upper-crust and comfortable, and the rich glitterati. I'm not sure which category the man behind me fit in, but he seemed to like to hit the back of my seat. But the girl ahead of me and to the right was super glitterati wannabe diva style to the max. She had a diamond ring hat was really 6 diamond rings, with diamonds all around them. Also, she sported snake skin cowboy boots and other cheezy accessories.

After arriving and ignoring the scoopers (undercover drivers trying to get passengers despite having no license), I was just glad to be headed home.

My plants (Thai basil) were still holding on, and intelligent life had not arose out of the dirty dishes in the sink.

AND I had a new game in the mail from Game Access - "Contact". I will write about in at The Game Chair in the near future.

Welcome back. How did the trip go? Did you "win"?

Well I can't say for sure yet. Supposedly the customer will make up their mind by next week. I hope to know more details soon.

The programming contest went well, although I couldn't finish everything on the exam within the alloted time. That was by design I believe, so that they could better differentiate between vendors.

Good luck with finding out if you won or not!

I love that water-cube thing in the Toronto Airport. Once, when I was 4 hours early for a flight, I spent most of the time watching the cubes go around and around.

Then again, I am a sad, sad person.

Yeah, I'm sure you kicked ass.

'Cause that's what brothas from Millwoods do, right?

yeah, business class!

You should always hook up with the ladies in business class. That's what I learned from Seinfeld.
