Woman Mad Boyfriend Not Jealous She Danced With Other Guy
WEST LAFAYETTE, IN – Deborah Raskin, 20, became angry Saturday when boyfriend Kris Barros failed to become jealous over her dancing with another guy. “She was being all quiet and staring at the wall, and she wouldn’t tell me what it was all about,” Barros said shortly after leaving the party. “Finally, I realized, shit, I was supposed to get all mad and make some big scene because she danced with that one dude before.” Barros promised Raskin that he would make more of an effort to be jealous in the future.

A couple of Terrastock t-shirts. An old t-shirt from The Church’s Gold Afternoon Fix 1990 tour. A pile of PowerBook G3 (original 3400 style) parts, and a PowerBook 1400cs with a broken screen. Bid early. Bid often.

…and sleeping

…but at least the US Airways Shuttle gate terminal provides complementary copies of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Advertising Age, MIT Tech Review, and The Nation (mega surprised by that one). Hell, the only thing missing is Variety.

Oh, and the seats here have convenient AC outlets.

4:30am is an unholy hour to be waiting for a plane. At least I got through the security checkpoint without incident, though they were making people take off their shoes.

A shoutout to The Budget Travellers Guide to Sleeping in Airports for the tips on Logan Airport in Boston – specifically the tip to the 24 hour Dunkin Donuts in Terminal B.

I never could find the purported Wi-Fi node that Boingo has in the AirTran terminal. One major irritation I ran into is the total lack of AC outlets near where the seating is. Makes it impossible to recharge without sitting on the floor. The only exception is the pedestrian bridge between Terminals B and C, which is covered, comfy (but still with the dreaded arm rests that make it impossible to stretch), and conveniently outfitted with AC power directly next to the seats.

Damn, finding an open 802.11 network around here is harder than I thought.

I put another batch of stuff up on eBay. Several Harlan Ellison books, another John Shirley, Dunsany, the “Dawn Of The Dead” board game from SPI, and an autographed copy of Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy
