The Good Life... a weblog about life, technology, and the Opera Web browser

You know, the one time I don't ask someone if I forgot to pack something, I forget my monitor cable. Figures.

On the way to the airport today, I saw a particularly anti-social car with the license plate GO AWAY.

Mike's currently on his way to Arizona, probably enjoying his layover in Las Vegas.

Yesterday, as I said earlier, I came home from school. I stayed so late (I could have gone home on Thursday) so I could drive my best friend Mike, an RA in my building, up to BWI to catch a flight home to Arizona. Since we were pretty much the only people left in the building, we stayed up most of the night watching movies (Jurassic Park III and Pearl Harbor (excellent, excellent movie). I think the second one started at like 4am and I left in the middle of it to start packing (as you can see below.... In fact, I think I went downstairs to watch more of the movie after that point, but I digress).

I finished packing around 6am and then went to sleep, hoping to get up at 7am to take everything down to the car and get moving. Mike got me out of bed (I was awake, just not up) at 7:45am, so I wouldn't be freaked out by the fire alarm. It took me forever to get the rest of my stuff together, so we didn't actually leave until 10:30amish, much to the chagrin of the RAs trying to check out the rooms.

Of course, after just an hour of sleep (Mike got none), I wasn't really in any shape for driving. We ended up stopping twice, one at the Nelson County Wayside and the other time at a Park'n'Ride in Remington, to take naps. I was pretty sleepy most of the trip, but once we got to 66, I was wide awake. We got home perfectly safe, though I did change lanes and semi-cut someone off accidently at one point. Oops.

I'm trying to figure out what movie we should watch when I have some people over this week. I want something funny, a la The Whole Nine Yards or The Road to El Dorado, but without sexual innuendos (the former is pretty bad, the latter is better). Do movies like that exist?
