Dorkiness Overwhelming!

weather	:	sunny
outside	:	-54°C
mood	:	amused

Because you people would not have expected any less from me =)

That's right. I am currently en route to Taipei. In a Boeing 747. Like, yes. I'm in the sky.

*bounce* *wave*

They have in-flight wireless high-speed =D It's USD$9.95 for the first 60 minutes then $0.25/min thereafter or USD$29.95 for the duration of the flight.

Be proud of me. I waited over an hour after take-off to crack open the laptop. I actually started this at 11:45am PST, but the lunch cart started rolling around so we ate first.

Husband Guy spent his budgeted pocket money even before we left. He bought himself a Nintendo DS. XD This is the one with the stylus and the microphone input. There were tons of games that he showed me where you have to draw and tap, there's a Ping-Pong one that we could both play and one where you're supposed to blow into the microphone to blow up a balloon or get dirt off a surface, etc.

*teehee*

We're on China Airlines. We wanted to go EVA, but their flights were booked solid or the scheduling wasn't right for us.

We actually got the Turquoise DS with Nintendogs bundle. We also got Wario Ware Touched (played it for 5 minutes at work and I was sold).

And nothing can possibly replace WoW, although it is nice to get away from it once in a while.

Ah... Wario Ware... it's perfect for obsessive compulsives :) I like my DS.

$29.95 for that duration of flight isn't too bad... wonder about bandwidth though; downloading torrents?

whoa.

wait a second. Is WoW on that laptop?

to be able to play WoW during a long flight to taipei = priceless.

My brain just broke. You could do a MC run while up in the air! That's almost better than joining the mile high club!
