On my way to San Francisco or as the flight attendant says “San Flancisco”. I downloaded all these movies to watch and after like 2 hours my laptop battery died. I never ever let it run off battery and I’m guessing it didn’t like being on the plane. I’m debating getting a 2nd, I guess I’ll see how much it is… I’m guessing around $100.

I’m hoping to blog a little more through out the trip and using the Twitter. A fair amount of stuff has gone on since my last blog, so I’ll do my best to catch you all up on the crap that is my life.
