I'll be thinking about you worldwide

I'm at the new JetBlue wing of JFK. It’s pretty great. I’m sitting here brainstorming on my laptop, sipping on a smoothie, updating LJ, feeling pretty great. I love JFK, you guys.

I love airports. I have had no sleep. [livejournal.com profile] cadragongirl, the cookies are in the freezer. Uh, just because. It seems like all my efforts to make cookies for my co-workers are being thwarted lately. Last night I bought sugar and chocolate chips but not butter or vanilla. Sigh.

The 4th was wonderful--opening at work, then three (count 'em, three) get-togethers. Apparently I'm popular like that? Ahahahaha.

I stuck around just long enough to eat my first tofurkey (whyyyyy) hot dog (edible, especially with ketchup) and to sample the desserts (most important) and then hi-tailed it out to Kendall Square and after some navigation fail managed to find everybody right by the river. The fireworks were magnificent as always--I forgot nearly everything else, as always, and stared (probably open-mouthed) in wonder. I do so enjoy the 1812 Overture punctuated by spouts of fire.

We walked home afterward. I think I gave myself shin splints. Oops. Note to self: don’t walk long distances in flip-flops. Which is of course why I’m wearing them right now. At the airport. Oh well.

Gotta go. Just get up and go~/ The show must go on~

Hope your flight goes well! (Though it's probably over by now anyway, so hope it went well.)

I do so enjoy the 1812 Overture punctuated by spouts of fire.

Explosions are how it ought to be enjoyed! I do kind of love that an ode to Russian nationalism has been so thoroughly appropriated that it was played on the 4th at U.S. military academies during the cold war without a touch of irony.

You know how I love airports. ;)

I have no complaints at all about the flight. :) It's been a while since I flew with JetBlue, but they are definitely my favorite domestic airline. (Obviously, if I could fly JAL, I would!)

We were talking about that, actually, at the time! It does make one wonder.

if you are at JFK, this means being in NY. A good thing to do in NY is stay a bit and see Sasha. For future reference.
