Jan. 4th, 2011 07:50 pmI'm in shreveport LA and it's after dark, but from the hotel by the airport I haven't noticed any vampires. Worse, with my many-sites-blocked laptop I cannot find squat for clubs in the area - fangtasia seems to be difficult to locate. My hbo watching never led me to predict this!
I'm here for work or something, but I'm just a lazy gummint shit so really I'm just harassing innocents and sucking of the teat of US taxpayers out of greed.
Oddly I was on the plane next to a bunch of military pilots, young and old, so many stories were swapped. They were mocking the pilot when they realized he had descended from the clouds so late (penetration!?) that he had to circle around to approach the runway, and then he circled so much they compared it to a shuttle landing. They accused him of being on the "overshot" part of the runway. The mockery was awesome, and so was having 3 calm pilots when the ride was bumpy.
When the plane landed the steward asked us to thank (clap) for the military guys on the plane. See, dfw was FULL OF FATIGUES and shreveport seems kinda military too. I clapped, but only so as not to stick out when others did. I think our military guys are awesome, but I think thanking them constantly and random intervals for nonspecific acts is goofy, diminishes the times people commit specific good acts, and ultimately cheapens thanks for their service. Clapping is akin to bumper sticker support (i.e. support our troops, but don't tax me).
Now where are those fucking vampires?
