I'm partial to Orbitz because it will search all NYC area airports at once.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

ita, that's just the sort of thing I encountered with travelocity. Except more I pick my supposed flights and suddenly at the very end, they go whoops! Not available except at $400 more!
Which is just insane.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have an interview tomorrow. With four people. For a position I'm not nearly technical enough for. Woe.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I read recently that the Wednesday thing is no longer true: [link]
FWIW, sarameg, I couldn't find a fare NY to Phoenix under $500 after checking every day for two weeks-- that's over $200 more than usual. So I am guessing demand for certain dates is really high this year. I ended up surrendering my FF miles at a premium.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I found out this morning that my office mate/direct report is leaving! Woe! Although, it was kind of a trip to be the boss when the employee is suddenly all scared to talk to you -- I've never been on this side of it. But, the fact is, I've been kind of holding my breath waiting for her to leave since I started here, so good for her and all that, but still!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So this is the exciting Mars news that people have been hinting at:
Changing Mars Gullies Hint at Recent Flowing Water
The changing appearance of gullies on Mars within the last few years has prompted new hopes that liquid water may have flowed recently on the red planet.
"The water thing clearly is a surprise to us," Michael Malin, who led a study that found the gully changes, told SPACE.com. "The environment for Mars is not very conducive to water."
Malin and his colleagues used images from NASA's now silent Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) to revisit regions earlier this year where gullies, depression-like landforms on the red planet's surface, were found in 2000.
What they found were new, light-colored deposits that do not appear to have formed from martian landslides, but could be the work of frost, salt deposits or long-sought evidence that water flowed recently on Mars [images].
"Our level of certainty which we can address the question of whether the gully features that we're reporting on were formed by water is high, but not extremely high," said Malin, who has lightheartedly referred to the find as "the squirting gun."
"The evidence is mostly suggestive," he said.
