Got home fine. Little trouble in customs - they took my throwing knives off me from my check baggage and gave me a warning - first ever! - and somehow missed that I had more than double the allowance of tobacco. DERP DERP DERP. Mentioned the whole flight attendant thing, and got some nepotisim up ins - they shifted someone else who had already booked in out, just to get me an exit row seat. Thank you, emirates. Also - one FA got crook, unknown reasons, and they called on me to sit L5 - AKA, left rear jump seat. Made me miss flying a lot, but it was awesome.
Just got a company wide email from the IT staff telling us to stop watching the god damn world cup, it's eating all the bandwidth.
Where I'm working the World cup makes for an interesting measure of the networks, because I on the wired LAN get the game about 10-30 seconds sooner than the other people on the wireless around me.

Similar thing where I'm watching it. ESPN 360 is a good 5 seconds ahead of the TV broadcast.
Sometimes Wikipedia has amusing things. I randomly wiki'd Vuvuzela, and under the category of Annoyance, it left this paragraph:
Vuvuzelas have also been blamed for drowning the sound and atmosphere of football games.[40][41] Commentators have described the sound as "annoying" and "satanic"[13] and compared it with "a stampede of noisy elephants",[42] an elephant passing wind,[43] "a deafening swarm of locusts",[44] "a goat on the way to slaughter",[45] "a giant hive full of very angry bees",[46] and "a cow being given a surprise enema".[47]
I got my laptop back from Lenovo repairs, fixing it's GPU/motherboard for the second or third time, and it only took like 72 hours after I contacted them.
San Dimas is about five miles from me right now -- I used to hang out at a coffee shop there all the time. It was always really funny to me that Bill & Ted was set there. I remember when I was a kid, I think it was when Bogus Journey came out, they had Bill & Ted bubblegum cards that had a "Win a trip to San Dimas!" contest. I remember thinking a) there's pretty much nothing to do in San Dimas, other than go to Raging Waters, aka "Waterloo", and b) someone's gonna be really bummed when they find out there's no San Dimas mall.

Um, so two men sunbathing on a beach and women playing softball must be gay? Whaaaa?
