Saturday, October 10, 2009 at 10:49PM first things first- what a relief that Kylie's US tour has been so massively, emphatically, exhilaratingly well reviewed! i have barely done anything, in fact, my main constribution is a seemingly bottomless ability to take musical direction from those in charge (i have no personality of my own), but still, i am relieved. i actually feel very attached to my job, and if someone were to shit-talk this magnificent show, it would be a personal insult to me, and taken as such.
the other thing that was a personal insult to me was the general proceedings of our travel day from Toronto to NYC today. due to gigantic, multiple delays, our one-hour flight was more like nine hours, door to door. what a joke. as if that didn't suck hard enough (at least according to Continental Airlines), they also made us wait on the plane while a maintenance truck drove over to fix the aircraft toilet. which is awesome in theory, but not so awesome if said truck then breaks and SPILLS ITS CONTENTS ONTO THE RUNWAY next to the plane, making the unmistakable stench of human waste waft into the cabin. oh joy. having said that, the whole things probably wasn't quite as traumatic for me as it was for those nursing serious hangovers. in the words of Matthew Racher: "Continental Airlines- there's another way to spell that, you know." i leave the rest to your imagination.

My friend Laura told me when she worked for Helsinki Help, the tourist guide service in our dear capital, there was a gay cruise ship that arrived in the harbour after a few days of partying and frolics. Upon docking, when they tried to empty the lavatory containers, the pipes burst all over Helsinki harbour. I'll leave THAT to your imagination.
