Today really feels like a Monday. Except for the part where I ate the Tuesday special at Popeye's.
I ran after work today; it's been a while since I was able to do that. Felt pretty good too. I worked on some music after that. Things are getting closer to being done, yay!

Well, it's good to be home.
I went in to work late to try to work off those hours I missed. It was extremely weird leaving when everything was dark. Almost creepy.
I didn't really have time to do much at home besides upload some photos and videos to facebook. I fell asleep to the warming glow of the tv.

We were able to sleep in today because the early flights werent looking so good. Then eventually, the best plan to get home was us driving from Pennsylvania to Ohio. Awesome, 3-3.5 hours of driving, then waiting at the airport hoping to get a flight, then 3-3.5 hours of driving from DFW back to Austin.
Or at least we hoped. Once we got to Columbus, that plan didnt look viable anymore. Crap. Next best plan (of hundreds of possibilities) was flying into Chicago, where a bunch of flights had been delayed due to a Tstorm.
Kinda cool how in one day I had been in 4 different states.

So these next few blogs are going to be somewhat lacking of detail, as I was lacking of sleep.
We woke up early to drive to DFW airport. Got through security just fine, i bet everybody was half asleep too. We were assigned our seats and sardine'd onto the plane. The 3 hour flight wasnt horrible, but it sucked because I wanted to sleep and couldnt. The seat was in the very rear of the plane, so there wasnt any room to recline. Kelc took the window seat so she had the wall to lean on. I tried leaning forward onto my hands, leaning on kelc, super slouching, and even stowing away in the overhead compartments; nothing worked.
Upon arrival, we went to get the rental car. Once we got that, it was only a 10-20 minute drive to the hotel.
We left to go get some food, and of all the unique places to go we settled on Boston Market. Still a pretty good meal, but not really exercizing the fact we were in a different part of the country. Then we left to Heinz Field for the fun activities.
There, we went to the locker room saw the 6 trophies, saw famous players signing autographs, and attemped a field-goal or two. I made a field goal on the 3rd try, woo woo.
Afterwards, we tried grabbing a table at a restaurant across the street, but it was super packed. Instead that we went to some bar in station square, still pretty good but overpriced (and slow service of course).
Then the fun began, we took over 1.5 hours to get back to the hotel. Yeah that's right, almost two whole hours to get somewhere thats about 20-30 minutes from downtown. Why? Construction/poor detour signs, and false maps. The best part about that whole trip was getting pulled over by a cop. Icing on the cake. Almost got a ticket for 'failing to use a turn signal' at a stop sign with nobody else around. Thankfully he was very forgiving about us being out of town and lost. Avoided a $150 ticket right there.
We got back to the hotel, and crashed from such a long day.

Alright, a shorter day at work, then I get to pack up and leave the state...
or do I?
Actually, we drove to Dallas, picked up Kelc and spent the night at a hotel close to the airport. Hopefully this trip works out.

Today was pretty cool at work. A helicopter landed in the parking lot bringing some important people to campus. It was some sort of demo day, a lot of projects and prototypes were on display to show off our hard work.
After work I went out to dinner with some buds. Then worked on some music stuff at home. I need to practice kicking field goals soon.

Well dangit. We lost another kickball game. BUT.. we did hold the 5-year veteran team to only 2 runs, so that's pretty good. I do remember reading something about how you can't play in the super-social league for so many years in a row. Maybe I'm just making that up.
Work was one of those days where nothing really falls into place, so productivity dropped like a lead ball.
Here's those pics I was talking about yesterday...
