Ohio, here I come...

I have been relegated to going to my cousin's wedding in Ohio in 2 weeks. I am a little apprehensive to go, as I have not seen (with the exception of one uncle, whom came to my high school graduation,Meme, who was at Christmas of '
98, and the groom and his little sister, whom came to visit 10 years ago...which is a small fraction of my huge family) my dad's family since I was 10 years old...BUT, the icing on this bizzare cake is my travelling situation...I am travelling alone, which is always grounds for odd happenings. I have to take a red eye out of LA on the friday and fly to Cincinatti. I get in at like 5am and then have to take a commuter flight to Columbus and get in a shade before 10am. That gives me just enough time to get to the hotel and shower, get dressed and go to Justin's wedding. Where is the icing I mentioned, you ask? Well, because my family and I fly so much, I was able to not only get a free ticket, but I am flying first class the whole way!! The round-trip with connections first class ticket came to a whopping $18!! (I still had to pay for a ground/airport tax and a 9/11 tax...but whatever!) So, I am not going to mind the fact that I am spending more time in the air than with my family as much because I will be chillin' in the front of the plane!

Now, if I were to juxtapose this trip with my Thanksgiving travel arrangements, I would illustrate that the two itinierarys (i can't spell - just go with it) are the antithesis of each other...I neglected to properly book my arrangements, which resulted in the loss of my reservation. This morning when I went to check on my flight times, I made this shocking discovery and realized that I had to re-book...Now that the holiday is a month away, the ticket prices jumped dramatically and my ticket has doubled in price to a fantastic $450! I guess that is Karma - $18 for one ticket, $450 for another...Oh well...it will be worth it to see my family...

I bought the new Jimmy Eat World CD yesterday (or JEW, if you will - that is for you Meera) :)
Awesome CD!! Kinda dark in lyrics, but awesome nonetheless. I really want to find the newest Dexter Freebish CD...Such a good band(?). He reminds me of a cross between Pete Yorn and Dashboard. I love it and it is hard to find...I have gone to 2 tower records and they have been out because they don't carry many copies...oh well...will get my hands on it eventually.

The rain was awesome - I love storms...

Tonight: am most likely going to see "Team America" and cannot wait!!
