Elais | heyas matt |
MattH | Hiya CM |
Elais | got a question for you about southwest airlines |
MattH | Shoot |
Elais | ever have a problem with overbooking? |
MattH | Hmmm...I never have, but that doesn't mean that they never have ;-) |
Elais | I'm just panicking that I might get bumped off the flight due to overbooking |
MattH | I am sure they have had some problems, every airline has, but no one in my family (to my knowledge, anyway) has had a problem with them. |
Elais | even though I've been on numerous flights, I still get nervous |
MattH | I can tell...take a couple of Valium...won't help the flight, but should help the nerves ;-) |
Elais | this trip is a little trickier as I've booked tickets through three airlines |
MattH | Ouch.... |
MattH | Why 3? |
Elais | my original itinerary is through Delta |
Elais | just a straight round trip between here and Vegas |
Elais | However, I'm planning on making a side trip to LA on Saturday |
Elais | I'll be flying TO los angeles on Ted Airlines (a subsidiary of United) |
Elais | I'll be flying FROM los angeles on Southwest airlines |
Elais | the southwest airline flight would get me to Salt Lake City in time to make my connection back home |
MattH | I stand by my earlier "ouch" and raise a "gah" |
Elais | the southwest flight is pretty mission critical |
MattH | So I see... |
Elais | I'm essentially skipping a leg of the Delta flight |
MattH | Will Delta allow you to do that? |
Elais | I'm wondering if skipping that one leg of the delta flight would affect any other leg |
Elais | I'm not sure...I'd better call |
MattH | Yah |
Elais | I'm not exactly the worlds best planner *g* |
MattH | Yeah, well there is only one by definition. |
Elais | twice the lex, twice the fun |
MattH | Smallville? Good ep, I take it? |
Elais | it appears so |
Elais | okay, just got off the phone |
MattH | With Delta? |
Elais | yeah |
Elais | it appears to be okay |
MattH | Ok - that is good |
Elais | but I got an Indian customer service rep |
Elais | the accent was a bit tough to figure out |
Elais | I might call again tomorrow and see if I can get an American |
MattH | I doubt the answer will be different. Also, if they use a service center, they are probably all Indian. |
Elais | then I can talk to someone at the airline counter tomorrow |
Elais | or I can call the whole thing off and stick with my original itinerary |
Elais | and eat the $125 or so on the Southwest/Ted tickets |
Elais | I always make things more complicated for myself |
MattH | I just ran across this and had to pass it along. "Know Thy Enemy: Taxes" http://www.imao.us/archives/003031.html |
MattH | Well you did want to come to LA as well as Vegas... |
Elais | yeah |
Elais | I signed up for the Vegas thing because of the number of BuffyAngel actors |
Elais | they dropped off like flies and were replaced by the Star Trek folks |
MattH | One reason I don't do cons... |
Elais | at least at the LA party, I can see a few old friends and hopefully a few Lost actors/writers |
Elais | I'm gonna have a credit card bill out the wazoo, though |
Elais | hah...good link |
Elais | I filed my taxes in January and got the refund pretty quick |
MattH | That would be the second of the reasons I don't do cons ;-) |
Elais | It wouldn't be so bad, but doing two cons in the same month wasn't particularly smart |
Elais | my impulses are expensive *g* |
MattH | Yeah...sounds like you are being "conned" |
| * MattH ducks |
Elais | ROFL |
MattH | So, I heard Boone bought the big one on Lost...and the actor wasn't too happy about it. |
Elais | yup |
Elais | he was cute, but not all that great on Lost |
Elais | I'm already over it *g* |
MattH | Any idea what they are planning for next season? |
Elais | no clue |
Elais | might be a while before spoilers surface on what's happening next season |
Elais | they might drop a hint at the Lost party in LA |
MattH | I suppose...but if they get off the island, won't they have to change the show's name...maybe to "Found"? |
Elais | maybe |
Elais | hows work |
MattH | Exhausting...unlike the previous job, there is little slack time in my new position. Much more interesting, though. |
Elais | that's good |
MattH | What about you - still slow at work? |
Elais | looks like Lionel is evil again |
Elais | very slow at work |
Elais | thank goodness for net access at work |
MattH | He was always evil... |
MattH | I knew he hadn't reformed when he told the warden he wasn't guilty of the crime that landed him in prison. |
Elais | now onto Alias! |
Elais | whoops, almost forgot that Revelations show |
MattH | I'll wait until the reviews are in. |
Elais | wonder if Revelations is supposed to be a 'family' show |
Elais | because it's about God and stuff |
MattH | Maybe...I doubt it, though. |
Elais | guess not, they just fried a young girl with lightening |
MattH | Yep...that'll scare the kiddies |
Elais | i'm usually not interested in these kinds of apocalyptic movies |
MattH | I checked out TV Tome...it didn't seem that interesting. If the reviews are different I might dl and watch it. |
Elais | switching to Alias |
Elais | if the end of the world is coming, I don't wanna know about it |
MattH | Eh...there are upsides and downsides either way. |
Elais | there are downsides to the end of the world? |
Elais | wow |
MattH | I was referring to knowing about it. |
Elais | kind of like knowing you'll be hit with an incurable disease sometime down the road |
MattH | Yeah...if you know you are going to die in a week, what do you do. Me, I take out a large loan, and party like it is the end of the world. |
Elais | how is the D&D reworking coming along? |
MattH | I have barely done anything. Just haven't had much time or energy. I have been going through one of the message lists I am on, looking for players. |
Elais | so you need a vacation in order to work? |
MattH | Practically...I haven't had a vacation in almost 2 years, though. |
Elais | I've never considered the cons I've been to as vacations |
Elais | the Vegas thing might be the closest thing I've had to a vacation in a while |
MattH | Well, I'll be eligible for vacation in six months or so. I do plan on getting my D&D game running before then, though ;-) |
Elais | slacker |
MattH | No, just very, very tired at times.... |
MattH | Other things just conspire to eat up my free time and energy |
Elais | slacker was meant to be a joke |
Elais | but a 6 month deadline is a good one to shoot for *g* |
MattH | I doubt my remaining players will wait that long...I am shooting for the 2nd saturday in May. |
Elais | looks like Revelations is slow to be revealed |
MattH | It is a mini-series. |
Elais | 6 eps |
MattH | Expect all the revelations in the last 1-2 eps. |
Elais | so, the first 3-4 eps are foreplay? |
MattH | My guess |
Elais | how many players do you need to recruit? |
MattH | I have 2 reliable players, 1 not-so reliable and I like 5, so basically I need 2 or 3 more. |
Elais | how do you pick them? |
MattH | If they say they can make the game and are interested, mostly ;-) |
MattH | I plan to post some notices on some messages boards. Also, one of the current players says he knows someone who might be interested. |
Elais | networking |
MattH | Yah. |
Elais | Uncle Matt Wants You! |
MattH | Yep - I just tell all of my players to remember Adventuring Rule #1 - "Loot, Pillage, and *then* Burn" |
Elais | LOL |
Elais | I wish you luck in your recruitment efforts |
MattH | Anyway, I got to go and watch Tru Calling...my HD Recorder is maxed out on the show and I need to clean 2 eps off before tomorrow night. |
MattH | Thanks, I'll need it. |
Elais | talk to you next week |
MattH | Ok CYA. |
