Another happy christmas down. I’ve still got no idea what is happening in TF2 land after being out of the loop staying at my wife’s parents’ place, so this is another lame “madlep whining about his life” ego post.

I managed to royally screw up my flight schedule. $1000 later, I’m re-booked, and flying the next day. I didn’t even get a flight with Qantas (I’m in their business lounge club), so I’m on Air New Zealand, which means having to slum it through the slow regular check in lines, and wait in the cattle class gate lounge. Yuck. At least Wellington airport has free wireless now, so it’s not too bad.

Speaking of Wellington airport - this is the kind of fun you can have there:

I figure it’s actually safer. Most plane crashes are due to human error, and the pilots have got to be paying more attention in those conditions.

The dumbest thing in airport security in recent times has got to be the ban on liquids once you get past security. My water bottle got confiscated. You can buy water once you get past security - but $4 a bottle? I reckon the beverage companies are lobbying for these regulations, its really nothing to do with terrorism.

Anyway, back to normal life. So I’ll play some TF2, catch up on the gossip, and post some of the rants I’ve been writing up in the off time.
