jazzfish: Windows error message "Error 255: Too many errors." (Too many errors)
Taranis the laptop is in the shop again, getting last year's display issue fixed for real this time. I hope. Buying refurbished didn't really save me any hassle this time I guess, although I would have bought the three-year Applecare warranty anyway. (Only warranty I'll buy, because they're good about honoring it.) So it's saved me a little money anyway.

This whole episode has mostly served to remind me that the Device Mk II can be used as an internet reading device, but it's extremely frustrating to do so. Also I still hate the keyboard.

In other, abbreviated, news: saw Priscilla Queen of the Desert last night for the first time. How odd, is about all I can say. Guy Pearce, Terence Stamp, and (especially) Hugo Weaving would not have been my first instinct for casting in a road movie about three drag queens, but they do exceptionally well.

I don't know if I'm doing better than a couple of weeks ago but I'm not feeling quite so adrift about it. Thank you.

It took them three and a half years but the cheeseburger wrens have finally tracked me down.

For the last couple days I've had in my head the voice of an elderly man, who speaks with the slightest of accents, saying, "Well. So far, so. . . far."

I'm almost dead certain this is from some movie fairy-tale but I have no idea, and it's driving me insane.

Help?

My airport tales of delay and misrouting all involve O'Hare in some way. Lost luggage either didn't follow me here, or went through here when it shouldn't have. Late flights are all to or from.

It's not such a bad airport. Not as ill-designed as Dulles, or as ill-executed as LAX. Just. . . long.

Which is a roundabout way of saying that after arriving early, and even being rerouted to the same terminal as my connecting flight, I'm now stuck waiting for a plane that's half an hour late and counting.

Maybe O'Purgatory would be a better name.

LAX, the one true airport hell, of which all others, including our own Dulles, are but shadows. . .

(Honestly, the real problem lay with using Air Canada for the first leg.)

Yeah. That sounds about right.
