That was a trip.
We brought grandma back to the airport.
First, her flight was canceled, because there was engine trouble. So the man said that she would take the 4:30 flight but to go check in an hour early for the 2:30 flight just in case there was an opening she’d be able to go on an earlier flight, because sometimes people cancel. So we don’t know if she’s home yet.
There’s a sitting area where you can sit and watch the planes take off and land, and we saw the 1:30 fly off, so I don’t know what’s going on with that.
Anyways, here are some pictures from the drive to Laguardia in Flushing, NY:
Juggernaut
I don’t even remember what that word means, but it came to mind.
Oh… I just “Wikied” it… it means:
is a term used to describe a force regarded as unstoppable, that will crush all in its path.
Woot!!
Anyways, I’ve been trying to find my drafts of my story, and I just remembered where it may be… In my room…
I want to try to finish it this summer. I also want to fix up my story that I wrote for class. We’ll see how that goes..
Later, Suzy
Edit: 7:50p.m.
My story wasn’t in my room… But its okay for now.
I’m outside at the moment. I decided I needed some fresh air. So I turned on iTunes, put on shuffle and out comes Britney (Spears). I like her old stuff. It’s very poppy. And I don’t see any bugs flying, so that’s good news too.
I think I will write a couple flash fiction stories tonight and then edit them later on. Or at least put some ideas down.
Newsweek Magazine’s silly mistakes
I’m currently reading this week’s Newsweek Magazine (July 7/July 14, 2008 issue) and I’m finding some interesting things.
First, on Page 37 in the right column titled “The Don’t Bother States,” the magazine lists Obama’s and McCain’s chances of winning a specific state. Under Obama, Newsweek lists Washington D.C. at 100%.
Except, Washington D.C. isn’t a state.
Then on the next page, page 38, under “scorecard” they specify different physical characteristics that past president’s have had and comparing them to the current candidates.
Under “Melanin,” Newsweek writes:
An exclusive NEWSWEEK analysis has determined that 100 percent of our presidents have been white.
Well, no duh.
Catching up
I’m not really accustomed to WordPress. I like Blogger. I was doing well there, but I wanted to try this website too.
I will be posting a couple entries from my blogger, so bear with me please.
