Damn, missed the SF to San Diego flight and the ground attendant says we can go tomorrow (and miss Preview Night??!!), standby on the 4:30 PM flight or get confirmed for the 9:30 PM flight. No fu*#ing way!!

Expressing my disapproval in no uncertain terms, the ground attendant does 5 minutes of intense typing into her terminal and puts us on high priority standby for the 1:30 PM flight. I’m still so steamed I forget to say, “Thank you.” We walk to the gate, thinking we have plenty of time until we see the line for domestic security. Yikes. Another sign of the Apocalypse. At the gate, we see our names up on the standby list. There are 4 seats available. I am #2. Miyuki is #4, Isaac is #5. Uh, oh. They call name #1, a Japanese guy who must have been on our flight from Japan. Then they call my name. I go up, explain our situation. They say, “Well, you can split up or wait until — ” No fu*#n’ way! They let us all on the 1:30 PM flight. We are relieved, but once again, I forget to say, “Thank you.” Must watch my manners…

What do Isaac and Miyuki do to pass the time? Giggle over some manga Isaac bought at Tsutaya in Narita. Just warming up for Comicon…

Coming down the Coast, and there it is, below.

The lovely city of San Diego!
