arg, i'm a dope.

i'm on the phone right now, with what i'm sure is a lovely lady who works for american airlines. they've always been more than helpful and right now i got a couple things going with them. what i'm focusing on right now is the ticket i'm trying to get for my dad to come out here for thanksgiving. see, there's potential for confusion because we have the same name, the only difference is in the middle initial, i have a middle name, he doesn't, whcih also means i'm not a jr., but that's neither here nor there. i'd just hate for him to get to the check-in desk and have to show them my credit card, which he most definitely wouldn't have. yah, that'd be a drag.

the other thing is sort of an aggrevation and is what had me thinking i was a dope, i bought my ticket to see katie in october a few weeks ago, thinking i was doing a pretty good job buying it on a fairly advanced deal for $335, not cheap, by any means, but definitely not anything exorbitant, so anyways, i'm logging on to AA.com to get this ticket for my dad, and i look at my netsaver matches, and that same flight to raleigh is now $198, a weaker man would have tossed his computer out the second floor window next to which it sits.

isn't this exciting? play-by-play of me making travel plans, the AA lady, her name's ellen and she seems really nice, has got me on hold now, because i can get credit for the difference between the $335 i paid and the $198 the ticket costs now and it seems as though i can apply the discount from the newly reduced fare to NC to the ticket i'm buying from dallas. that'd be sweet, so we'll see what happens.

i'll talk about other stuff now, it was a good weekend. last night was a going-away party for wes, not old roommate wes, one of the seniors who's going off to school this week, and that was nice, he's getting a good send-off and i'm excited for him. sunday was good, relaxing, and really that's what sundays are s'posed to be. this week'll be good, not too terribly busy, but it's got enough to keep me occupied.

it's nice tonite, i think i'll go outside.

feeling: somewhat industrious
thinking of: how i tore it up on my MFL predictions this week
