I've been too long, I'm glad to be back!!

Ok...I know it has been quite a while since I have blogged, but hey, I have been jetting all over the west coast. So, in order to make up for it, I have compiled a list of thoughts, questions, and tips I have discovered over the last 3 weeks. (Oh and in case you are worried, my daily blog pic will be back tomorrow. I just couldn't find an appropriate one for today's entry!)

• It turns out that even though I hate birds (hey I got pooped on once and it was really traumatic...just ask ChickLit...she was there!), I still can’t handle watching birds fall from the sky onto the pavement and get run-over. Apparently I do have some compassion left!
• Sci-Fi Conventions are Awesome!!
• Never visit a hospital hungry...after a couple of hours, hospital cuisine starts to look good!
• Will I ever not be broke?
• I have a new fern named Bernadette. Yes I name plants...they really do live longer that way!
• Damn the CW for creating inner conflict for me once again!
• I have figured out what is wrong with the US Federal Government - no one picks up the phone.
• The Powers That Be better not cancel Supernatural...all I can say is that it won't be pretty!!
• 12-14 hour work days are not fun.
• Apollo is cute in person, but shorter than I thought; Starbuck is a lot more girly...
• Travel Tip #1: Always obtain a rental car from a state you do not live in. That way when you drive like a crazed maniac in Canada, it will be blamed on someone else...like Oregon! I mean we all know about those insane Oregonian drivers...
• Tell me again why No one does comedy like the Brits. If you haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet...drop what you are doing and go. Go Now! I can wait. My blog will be here when you get back! *starts humming The Girl From Ipanema*
• The staff working for Congressional members are never at their desk and never ever answer email or voicemail!
• Apparently I am more of a Trekker than I thought. However, I still find people in costume creepy.
• So while the Prison Break finale was completely preposterous, I have to say...I can't wait until next season!
• Travel Tip #2: When traveling in Canada or Britain, B&B’s are the way to go!!
• I love tea.
• Chekov is kind of a cranky old guy.
• Travel Tip #3: Burbank airport is truly the airport time forgot!
• Once you have been in an incarnation of Star Trek, you have it made...unless you resent being on Star Trek. Then you are simply screwed for all eternity.
• The awesomeness of flower vending machines is immeasurable...I mean it is a spinning diner pie case that has flowers for sale!!!
• Did I mention Sci-Fi Conventions are Totally Awesome!!
• You don't believe me about the whole B&B thing...I have two words for you: Fresh Scones!
• Please let the Powers That Be cancel Veronica Mars. I don't want to watch anymore, but I lack the willpower to do so on my own.
• No matter what various people said, I still think Avery Brooks is an ass...a pompous ass!
  
• Tell me, how did I get mixed up in dealing with animal vaccines again?
• Travel Tip #4: Flying in high winds is not fun and should be avoided as much as possible. If you do have to fly in high winds, make sure you know where the air sickness bag is. Trust me...
• Is it pathetic that I was genuinely happy to recieve flowers on Administrative Professionals Day?
• I can die happy...Tom Paris used the term 'lizard babies'. Perhaps the worse ep in the history of Star Trek actually brought some good! All I can say is it is about time!!
• TVGuide did a whole page article about Supernaturalin this week's magizine...does that mean it is coming back next year? (And doesn't El Deano look a lot like Wentworth Miller in that pic? Ok...maybe that is just me!)
• Travel Tip #5: Travel with people who have money. It just makes everything better!
• In case you missed it, Sci-Fi Conventions are Frakkin’ Awesome!!
