Airports and Internet and Holiday Model parties

Somehow I can't help but think that in some ways the internet has being going backwards. Remeber the days, back in the oh-so-good 90's (Bill Clinton, 56.6k modems, overnight IPO wealth) when virtually everything on the internet was free? Like free as in you don't have to pay for it with money? Well I guess those days are long gone. And instead I'm stuck here in Heathrow airport for the next three hours paying 7 pounds for a lousy slow T-mobil connection that stops working after three hours regardless of whether you use it or not.

Anyway, the planes come in and out and at least I have the internet to keep me company. People tend to complain about traveing durring the holiday season. "It's hectic" "Frustrating" "Uncomfortable" "Stressfull". I tend to dissagree. I personally love airports. All types. (Except Chicago Midway) And when booking flights I do my best to negotiate my way through a different airport for my layover each time. The key for traveling, especially for the holidays, is just to give yourself enough time for everything. Personally I generally expect problems. I think I'm delayed, have a layover, cancelled, switched, etc... probably about 80% of the time. Since I don't mind long layovers I meerly take an early flight in and book the last flight out. If you do by chance get in earlier than you expected, you can always ask to fly standby on anything earlier.

So enough about that. Point is: I love airports and airports love me.

Otherwise last night I packed my bags at 3am after coming back from a model agency party that I stayed a bit too long at. Theres something enchanting about agency parties where everyone is somehow involved in 'the business'. It's a cool feeling to be around people who know what your talking about and where the most craziest of stories are fun 'typical day at work' type banter. It's good to be around people who don't think your crazy for being so into something so flighty and trite as fashion and modeling often can be.

I went last night with Hanka, who is back in town from London for the holidays. London is cool. Very cool. Like, super-cool.
