small crisis

you would not believe the look on my face as my dad (who works at the airport) is telling me that there is no golden arches outlet at the airport.

hence, i was denied my bacon mcgriddle combo meal which was to be my reward for getting up so freaking early today.

other options were not appetizing enough for me so i settled for a chai latte, half sweet.

. . .

it's been a long day, here's a quick recap:
4am - i'm up. god, i can't believe i'm up.
5:30am - arrive at my parents' house
5:45am - check in
6am - sitting with my dad and rob in the domestic terminal eating area, watching rob eat an a&w breakfast.
7am - mail off the ladyhawk doc to another film festival from which we will probably be rejected.
7:15am - sitting at the required gate with my dad, waiting for boarding at 7:30am.
8am - plane takes off
10:30am - plane lands in edmonton
11am - sit down at the "golden rice bowl restaurant" with rob's dad and step-mom for some dimsum
12:30pm - arrive at rob's mom and step-dad's hotel room and hang with them and about 8 other family members until 2pm.
2:30pm - quick trip to the mall
4pm - arrive at yellowbird community centre to film "decorating the hall"
5:30pm - drive back to rob's dad house (where we are staying) for dinner, wine and lots of catching up.
8:30-9pm - quick nap
9-11pm - rob's friend (who is getting married in july and rob is the best man for his wedding) arrives with fiancee and i get to hear stories of rob's youth.
11:30pm - crash and burn
