Alone in the airport

I'm sitting in the Seattle airport baggage claim. It's about 1:30 a.m. Pacific time. My flight to Wenatchee was cancelled because of bad weather, and while they did book a bus (!) to take us there, it doesn't leave until 11 a.m. Most of the people who were going to be on the flight live in Seattle, so they all went home. And, apparently, there are no other incoming flights right now. I'm seriously the only person in baggage claim. It's weird.

(Oh, yeah, and a big thank you to Horizon Air for refusing to pay for a hotel room for me. An entire night sitting in a crappy chair? No, Merry Christmas to you!)

Also, I've been up for a really long time and my mind's a little fuzzy.

On the bright side, I am able to watch an absolutely-horrible-and-therefore-awesome movie. Which movie? That would be the direct-to-DVD smash, Bring It On: In It To Win It. The opening shot of the movie is a banner that says "CHEER CAMP CHAMPIONSHIPS." And it features such wonderful lines as, "These two teams have stirred up a mess of controversy over what's most important in cheerleading: precision or flavor."

Damn. If only I had nine-and-a-half hours to fully enjoy this movie.

Edit: On GoogleTalk

Kat: The best part of this movie
Kat: Is that the two rival cheerleading teams
Phil: Are they the Sharks and the Jets?
Kat: They are the Sharks and the Jets.
Phil: Oh my.
