in other news...

iiiiiiin other news, simo has gotten the cover of issue #3 of soma magazine, and landed a spot on the crailtap site. kudos, mate!

in other, more unfortunate news, but still hilarious as well...he's stuck in barcelona.

he was supposed to leave here on sunday morning, which he did, and he made it all the way to the gate of departure. there, he found that he was to wait three additional hours, as the flight was delayed.

so he borrows the phone of a very generous lady, so he could phone his gal and tell her he'd be late.

the lady asks for her phone back, and he gives it to her, and turns and mutters to himself, "effing perfect." or something of that nature.

moments later, someone comes up to him from the airline, asking to see his ticket.

you see...the lady who lent her phone was the pilot of the flight. and she thought he had said, under his breath, "eff you."

so they tore up his ticket, and told him that he would no longer be flying with KLM airlines any longer, and his luggage would be awaiting him downstairs. his ticket was non-transferable, and he's stuck, shafted, in barcelona's rainy season.

being as it's holiday season, he couldn't get a new ticket until thursday night, and that's only if the landing strips on his way are clear for landing. sounds like most of them these days are iced out, and unable to be used.

but at least he got a cover shot. that's gotta amount to something, huh?
