The Plans Have Been Revised

Friday  •  11:47 AM

So the plans have been revised. Firda is now going to be in Canada late Saturday night. She originally thought that it was going to be Sunday night but apparently it is Saturday night. I couldn't be happier. Now we get to spend two days together before I have to go to work (since I'm still going to take Monday off).

I always find it kind of fascinating that she can fly all the way around the world, which is going to be about 27 hours including flight and layover times, but she will arrive in Toronto only 14 hours after the time she left (Jakarta time). It will seem like 13 hours just never happened, at least according to the sun. I'm sure it will be completely different for Firda. I bet to her it will feel like a million years from the time she gets on the plane to the time she is in Toronto. I really wish that the flight didn't take as long as it did but I'm also happy because she will be back here very very soon. 35 hours and counting.

Friday Q - November 15, 2004

Another Friday. Another Friday Q.

FQ TOPIC: Search.

FQ1: In one word, describe a luxury item you would want if stranded on a desert island for a year. Why?

Companion. I think having a companion with me would be quite the luxury. Hopefully that companion would be another human.

FQ2: In one word, describe a food you wouldn't mind eating every day for a month. Why?

Chocolate. I love chocolate, at least most chocolate. I've never been a big fan of the dark chocolate but give me a chunk of milk chocolate or white chocolate and I'm a happy camper. That is until my stomach starts to hurt.

FQ3: In one word, describe an occupation that you wouldn't necessarily want as a career, but wouldn't mind trying out for a week. Why?

Astronaut. I'd love to go to space but I don't think I'd want to stay away from Earth for too long. Though I wouldn't want the week to be just training. I'd actually like to make it out into space.

FQ Search: Enter your first name PLUS the above three words into a Google search and see if anything interesting comes up!

Nothing too interesting. A list of Simpsons quotes. A list of the Simpson cast. Michigan lost and found pets for 1997 to 2002. Good idea, bad results :)
