Singapore Airport
What do you get if you cross 450 passengers with 20 million litres of coffee and a 10 hour time delay?
Answer: Lethal Jetlag.
I'm sitting here at the Singapore International Airport accessing the internet via a sweet little card that my boss has lent me for work. The technology enables me to pull broadband out of thin air and let my thoughts invade the network.
I've emailed everybody in hopes that they're awake, online, and ready to reply. Despite the lovely nifty network card, I'm still bored out of my head. The electrical storm in my head also reduces my attention span down to unreasonable levels, so I'll have to resort to listing off mindless thoughts as they come to me, rather than creating a structured intelligent entry.
I have a packet of crispy M&M's and a bottle of water.
It's fun watching other lost passengers storm about the airport, looking for what they think they've lost.
Music sounds really good, when your ears are too used to hearing 'Jet Drone'.
It's easy to tell who's paranoid about SARS. There's people getting about in gloves, masks and glasses.
My new headphones rock the casbah.
They're flash "noise cancellation" headphones that silence everything except what you're trying to listen to. Ace on airplanes. They shift soundwaves by 90degrees and the interferance cancels the unwanted noice. Nice huh.
Wireless Internet isn't better than sex, but sliced bread is in trouble.
Australians and Kiwi's are easy to pick out of a crowd.
I cant access my work email. *pout*
Anyhow, I'd better dash.
I need to find something to eat that doesn't resemble airport food.

I'm having problems displaying your style sheet - maybe because I'm running safari on OSX?
