So I’m sitting here in the Regina airport on a three-and-a-half hour layover (on my way to Calgary for another layover before I finally make it to Cranbrook, B.C. in about seven hours). My dad, a frequent flyer, gave me two passes to the first-class lounge, but apparently that lounge is locked. Ah well. With only six gates, it was relatively easy to find an empty lounge area. I have my own remote, and I found a power outlet to recharge my computer, so I’m sprawled out on a couch watching All My Children and pecking away at this blog entry.

It looks like I’m going to get to watch all my old soaps today! Let’s see who’s had the worst plastic surgery!

There is supposed to be a high-speed area here, but I’m pretty cozy in my very own lounge, so I think I’ll try to find something in Calgary.

I’m listening to: I went crazy at HMV and Best Buy last week, picking up Zero 7’s The Garden (pardon the lack of links, but see above), Bitter:Sweet’s self-titled album, Muse’s Black Holes and Revelations, Greg Graffin’s Cold as the Clay and Sufjan Stevens’ The Avalanche. And I love each and every one of them.

I’m reading: I picked up a couple of books for my vacation. I’m starting with Nicole Galland’s The Fool’s Tale, a medieval Welsh story. I hope it’s good!

I’m watching: I found out how to upload shows from my Replay to my laptop, so I grabbed a few movies to bring on my trip. I watched Serenity on my Toronto to Regina flight. My laptop died after that, so I wasn’t able to watch anything else. Perhaps I’ll try Spiderman 2 on the next flight.

Man, commercials are funny! I had no idea until just this moment that Kosher beef excludes everything that comes off the cow below the waist. How very strange. . . .

Update: I’m sitting in the first-class lounge in Calgary. Finally able to get on the wi-fi, yet I can’t seem to get my Messenger working. How strange. Also, I'm 57 pages into my book. So far so good!
