1. Say goodbye to friends.
2. Board plane. (An evening flight is best.)
3. Sit in window seat. (If the plane is of the smaller variety with one seat on one side of the aisle and two on the other, choose the solitary window seat.)
4. Gaze moodily out window. (this is where the evening flight comes in handy - especially if you're flying west. You'll end up chasing the sunset for an extended period of time, whereby you can spend the lengthy twilight drawing metaphors between the setting of the sun/impending blackness of the night and your life.)
5. Brood.
Ok ok, I'm joking...ish.
I had a great Thanksgiving vacation! It was very relaxing and I got to spend time with two of my very favorite people - key ingredients for a good time, you guys. Pyeahtriuck and I Bordered it up, (28,391, 53,175, 49,532, 1), watched a large chunk of Scrubs Season 4, and were generally pretty much awesome. Keffy and I also did the Borders thing (she working on her storyboards, I on my portrait), shopped more than I normally care to, ate way too much tapas at Bee's Knees (I think our waitress was frightened...), and talked and watched movies a lot while Keffy worked on her project. I got to see a couple of my old professors on Wednesday and a lot of the VCC people on Sunday (great message, Oteros!). Yay friends. :-)
A highlight of the plane ride home was reading SkyMall magazine. My Christmas shopping is DONE, y'all. Among my favorites were the portable backyard ice rink, the pop up hot dog toaster, and the wristwatch that emits "a gentle electric current" to rouse you if the microphone in it hears you start to snore. They're all such practical items. The best one, though--the one I don't see how I have thus far lived without--is the iPod dock/speaker system that is also a toilet paper roll holder. I am not kidding.
And here is a mini cell phone photo collage.

What you really need from SkyMall is a Sumo Wrestler coffee table.
Cause what drunken party would be complete without a bent over sumo wrestler to hold your beer? O_o
I too was on a plane last week, and am very glad that I'm not the only one who thoroughly enjoys SkyMall. :D
Glad you had a good time!
PS I'd also like to point out that my word verification was "huhubuzx". I also find this highly amusing. lol!
I like your pictures. And that "gentle electric current" doesn't sound so crazy... might be helpful in the next couple of weeks....

andrew and i should send you the other two pictures to complete your "triple kristEn explosion."
what is on my chin?
B - I saw that coffee table! I was tempted to get it, but then I realized that meant I wouldn't have enough money left to buy the not-tacky-at-all pre-lit "ChristmasPalm Tree"...
H - Thank you, I like my pictures, too. Although that one of me makes me look like the secret love child of an albino and Casper--you know, of "the Friendly Ghost" fame. (Snow-Paper-A Ghost!)
P - You should...although I don't know if the world is ready for that. And I believe that is your, um, "goatee"...ish. ;-)
Come back from the wilderness!
