Domestic natterings:

Me: Can I kiss you?
Patty: As long as you don't impregnate me with a cow.
Me: No.
Patty: No? Really, really no.
Me: Don't worry, I have many skills, that's not one of them.

Apparently, I just had to be a total mopey fucker about Gallifrey earlier. Now I'm all like bouncy-bouncy-bouncy-I-love-the-Whoniverse-and-all-of-fandom. It will be awesome. I will be awesome. Also, PlaneCon 2010! Seriously, how many of us are on that Virgin America flight? Five or six that I know of off-hand. Sadly, I should be responsible on said flight and spend it doing things like: the sewing I'm sure I won't finish; the pitches I'm working on; novel novel novel. But, you know, I'll probably be harassing my seatmates instead.

So Claudette is my first partially white cat. She needs dusting!

I know how and why this happens, but can I just fucking express my horror once again that it's cheaper to fly from NYC to Hyderabad than it is to fly to London. FUCK EVERYTHING.

Somehow, within one day of Patty telling me that the new hot infomercial product is sweatpants that look like jeans, sparkindarkness links us to Tesco in Cardiff banning its patrons from shopping while wearing pajamas.

I have not even started watching Being Human yet, but I'm now reading spoilers because of how they are feeding into people's TW S4 theories.

Command decision: No Lunacon this year. I've got too much other stuff in the hopper.

Sorry to break in here but which airlines are you flying that it's under $1k from DFW to Heathrow?

Continental. I had to buy them sorta last-minute--a few weeks before they were cheaper. I've never flown Continental to Europe. I prefer to fly United or Lufthansa if possible; Lufthansa especially if I am going to Germany to see my partner.

Got these through Priceline and this close-in, it was a real pain as I'd think I'd secured a flight only to have them say Nope, no can have, start over, please. I generally get my tickets via cheaptickets.com but priceline beat them this time. Once I got the best deal by going direct to the airline itself (United in that case).

You live around these parts?

Hi sorry I missed this but I'm in the middle of moving from Dallas back to Greenville and so I'm running around like a chicken w/ it's head cut off.

I usually fly British Airways but money's really kinda tight right now & so I'm having to look into other options for my April trip. I've never used priceline before, it's always sounded a little dodgy to me. Thanks for the info.

It all went fine! Try cheaptickets.com too. I've used a few others as well.

The concern about British Airways is it is facing a possible strike--I'd avoid them and Lufthansa as both are in threat-stage. United was very good, and my kids are about to fly KLM to Italy and got really good prices for that. American was okay but nothing special. (that is why I love Lufthansa! best food and nice hot towels.. LOL)

KLM is flying really cheap at the moment, if you're planning far enough in advance. Delta/KLM flights were the cheapest on any of the lists, actually

Sigh, I wish.... Oh well.

[bloodredroses1.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... is KLM an okay airline to fly on? I only vaguely recognize the name.

KLM should be yes...my kids are about to fly via them to Italy and they damn well better be good!
