C80 steps

5:36pm JST Monday 25 May 2009 (day 14306)

I just counted 1100 (binary) * 100 (decimal) + 80 (decimal) steps from gate 31 to gate 4 in Haneda airport. My seat is on row 31. But my gate is at gate 4.

I'm glad I got here plenty early. And super glad that I made it through security with my salinated dihydrogen oxide. I put it in my pocket (400ml left in a 500ml bottle), assuming it would not set off any alarms. It didn't. But my belt buckle did (I'm from Texas and have a belt buckle the size of Texas to prove it (*)).

(*) not

But I forgot about the belt buckle and pulled my saline out of my pocket all thinking "damn can it really detect it??" but no; I set off the alarm again and discovered it was my belt buckle. I hadn't needed to pull out my saline. I was gonna be pissed if they were like, "oh you can't bring this through.." I had visions of pouring it all over the floor and the whole airport, and other visions of sitting them down for a good ol' heart to heart about how this security crap is a farce to control us, and other visions, oh nevermind; she gave the bottle back and sent me on my way. I put it back in my bag as they scanned a half full 200 ml water bottle for its explosive characteristics. Oh it's water. It can only be used to power cars and the like.

Also glad that I didn't need my passport, cause I don't have it.

But that's not why I'm writing. Just wanted to say it's 1280 steps from Gate 31 to Gate 4 in Haneda.
