Well, this morning was pretty much a wash. After breakfast I slept in for a bit as 5:30 is just an ungodly time to have to get up when you have nowhere to be right away. So I got up, worked on a little video prep work for the Vision/Dental project I’m working on and went out to lunch and had yummy baked clams and a Guiness and then eventually made my way to the airport. Why? I was bored.

I pretty much exhausted anything interesting worth doing in San Antonio (with no one to hang with me).

So get this… I went through airport security and after repeated attempts to get through the metal detector (and failing it without knowing what the hell I was doing wrong) I was escorted over to the side for a closer inspection, pat down, and thorough search down — pretty much the third degree save for a cavity search. Turned out to be a rogue 9 volt battery hanging out in one of the bottom pockets in my cargo pants.

So after dealing with that hassle, I grabbed a coffee and tracked down an outlet and plopped down with my laptop and the Canon and transferred all 6 gig worth of video from the miniDV tapes to my hard drive. Unfortunately I don’t have Adobe Premiere on my lappy, so I can’t use the time to edit down the video while I wait.

Oh — and there’s this guy next to me playing his PSP (or whatever the heck they are) without any headphones. That was my cue to scramble for my headphones and play the hifi streaming feed of The Current [almost feel like I'm at home]. But this pay for web access stuff is overrated. It’s $7.95 for a day-long pass (24 hours) and like $5.95 per hour if you want to do the hourly thing.

Oh well. Semi expensive blog posting. Maybe I’ll download that trial version of Star Wars Galaxy. Lord knows I’ve got the time.
