Okay, my flight for tomorrow evening has been canceled, on account of vanguard crumpling into nonexistence and filing chapter 11. The cheapest\/best option currently available to me appears to be grabbing the train on monday from pittsburgh to emeryville ($159.30). I would get in on wednesday afternoon. I am pissed yet resigned. The ‘reduced rates on fares’ that I get by going through their suggested alternates require $100 trips to philly or chicago, and end up costing about twice as much as I originally paid, and more than twice as much as I would pay for rail travel. <\/p>\n

For those of you with appropriate legal knowledge, is there anyway I can get my payment back, or does chapter 11 screw me out of that as well? Can I cancel ye ol credit card payment?<\/p>\n

Hitchhiking is starting to look appealing. =) <\/p>\n

Which inspired a neat, yet totally impractical idea. EHitchHiking. It’d work something like this: Hitch a ride from pittsburgh friend (perhaps my little sister) to columbus, where we would go dancing at Axis, and , say, could pick me up and take me further west. We’d stop off in indianapolis where some other cute, thoughtful gay guy who wants to meet me, and trap me in his car for 3 hours drives me to springfield, and from there to kansas city to meet , etc. =) It’s cool, because I’d get to meet these people in person and have time to get to know them. It’s radically impractical because of the geographical distribution of my friends, the tremendous time sacrifice it’d require from people I’ve never met, the trust I’d have to have in a chain of such people, the environmental impact of the double driving across the country, And the like. Oh well, it was an interesting toy idea.<\/p>\n

Reasons I’m pissed:
\nDelaying the housing hunt, so that I may possibly be doing it on my own.
\nMaking it so that I can’t see charlie off to portland.
\nGenerally fucking with my life.
\nDelaying the in-person job hunt plan.\n\n

Now I have to go pack more. suck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
