Bah.

I hoped to take the KCI Roadrunner shuttle to and from the airport this weekend to save the hassle of driving (both ways) in KC rush hour traffic. I know, KC traffic is "nothing" compared to the traffic in most big cities. Blah blah blah oh-lookit-me-from-the-big-city. Whatever. I don't care. I don't like driving in it, no matter how tame it may seem to others. But there are no shuttles from the airport between the hours of 6:00 and 10:00 a.m. So I'd be stuck at the airport for three hours on Monday morning. No thanks. Looks like I'm driving after all. Yuck. Sure hope it doesn't storm while I'm gone.

Gmail has a "feature" that puts some sort of link (recipes, news stories, websites) at the top of one's main Gmail page. One of today's links was a quote by a motivational speaker named Shakti Gawain. Shakti Gawain??? I mean, I am all for cross-cultural exposure, but Shakti Gawain? I...I just...I...I have no words. Nnngg.

Here's a bit of annoyance: Pyramid Pizza got bought and sold and the new owners have about half the topping selection as the old guys. No almonds, no sun-dried tomatoes, no spinach, and of course that means the old specialty pizzas aren't available anymore either. Suxxor. auroraceleste came over to talk costuming last night and alas, the pizzas were just not as good as they used to be--and they're more expensive. So now that's Pyramid and Bigg's BBQ crossed off my local restaurant list. Geez! It's like the universe is telling me I should, you know, cook more often.

Speaking of, I made a meatloaf last night when I couldn't sleep, so now there are lots of sammich-makings in the fridge. Yay.

Thankfully, auroraceleste was wonderful company, didn't complain about the pizza, and we had a wonderful costume chat.

The yesterday-mentioned Girl Things finally made an entrance and I'm irritable and bitter about having to be at work today. I'm all puffy and I have a pimple on my chin. Meh.

I see it! I see it!

I'm confused 6-10 PM? That means no one can pick you up, or did you mean 6-10 AM? Or would you rather just find someone to make the trip to/from, all your pals may be able to arrange such, one to drop you, one to pick you up? I may be encouraged for a like trade by someone in November.
OTOH
The Parking Spot has covered spaces, if that makes a diff to you, and a quick shuttle to/from the area to the terminals.

And check an upcoming post from me re: foodies.

Oh, sorry. That should be a.m. Fixing that now. My flight gets in at 7:00 a.m.

Good eye!

Oh yeh, and Shakti Gawain? I have one of her books from YEARS ago.
She was touting "The Secret" long before those others came along, only her name for it was Creative Visualization.
It is rather funny about the name. Even funnier if she had taken her hubby's name.. Shakti Burns.

Shakti Burns

I think they have a cream for that...

Would you like a ride from the airport on Monday? I have no trouble with either the early hour or the traffic you have mentioned. I usually wake up about that early, and I commuted in New Jersey for several years. I have no fear!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Wow. Now that's very tempting. Would you be able to get back to Lawrence in time to make it to work, though?

[the-themiscyran.livejournal.com]

I might be a tiny bit late, but the drive to or from the airport at the speed limit takes me under an hour between my door and the gates, so no worries. I would ask for a gas money contribution, but other than that, give me the times and I'm your taxi. :)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Awesomeness. I'm emailing you and we can work out details. Thanks!

[the-themiscyran.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

Thanks for the heads-up on Pyramid. I live a block away from them, and used to get pizza there sometimes because it was good and (relatively) cheap, but if prices have gone up I'm just going to go to Rudy's! Boo for the extremely-convenient-place going away..

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It wasn't bad pizza, but it certainly wasn't as good as it used to be.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

most likely it's an ointment.

( I just love saying that word)

Ya know, honestly, you could have made microwave pizzas and I wouldn't have known much difference. I'm really NOT a pizza connoisseur at all. Pizza's either edible or not, and the defining characteristic is presence or absence of meat, not much else :P

[radcliffe.livejournal.com]

Excellent- If for some reason it will not work out for L to take you, I can get up early :-)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Next time, we shall order Panda Garden. SRSLY.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Although I would do my best to avoid making you rise so very VERY early...

[emeder.livejournal.com]

That sucks about Pyramid. Do they at least still send the honey with the pizza?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

They do, but it's really crappy honey. I can't eat it. =b It's actually kind of...bitter. Weird.

Dude, we should get together sometime. I feel so out of the loop since not being on cast this year. Hmm, I know that we're about the get into the busy holiday season, though. Well, just let me know.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Sure! Although I can't say I'm much more in the loop, even though I was there this year...
