I posted a handy guide to passing time in an airport last year. But after so much time has passed, the old list may be passe.
The internet needs a NEW list of things to do in an airport.
Without further ado:
5. Jockey for the best place to park. The ideal spot? Comfy chairs, plug-ins for your laptops and other electronic necessities, and a TV playing something better than CNN Financial. I’m parked in front of a football game, in a black lounge chair, with multiple plug-ins. I win.
4. See if you can find someone watching a movie on their laptop and find a way to get close enough for the free entertainment. Disclaimer: if you get in trouble with people for peeping – you didn’t have to take my advice.
3. Get your exercise. Power walk up and down the concourse. You may want to find deodorant for this option.
2. Bonus points for this one – get your fellow passengers to join you in doing the Gangnam Style dance. Seriously, if you post a video link here doing it, I’ll send you a pack of gum or something.
1. Write a blog post. You can give people hints on how the pass the time… (Recycled from last year, but classics never go out of style)

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
When stuck in an airport due to weather, mechanical failures, or the pilot having hiccups, here is a list to help you pass the time.
5. Browse the Bookstores. See how many magazines you can read before you get kicked out or are forced to buy something.
4. Entertain your fellow passengers. These enterprising guys
found a way to make a moving sidewalk into something more than just a people mover. If you’re brave, start a flash mob or get everyone into a sing-along.
3. Leave the secure area and go through security again. This makes them wonder, and ensures you get the full security experience if you missed it the first time.
2. People watching. The classic airport event. You can simply observe others in a subtle manner, or play games such as “Guess the Europeans” (men wearing capris is a tell-tale sign).

Hey all. I haven’t gone anywhere. Busy work and trying to finish up things at home can cause blogging deficiencies though, it is a documented condition.
Instead of reading my mea culpa for being somewhat absent, you should be reading where on the scale of Christian fiction you land, if you are a writer. Thanks to Mike Duran’s post, we know have an objective scale for measuring just how Christian a particular novel is.
Actually, I’m full of it today. Mike did write an interesting post with a scale borrowed from John Wimber and his book Power Evangelism to describe where people are in their relationship (or lack thereof) with God. It was actually helpful, because it made me think about how realistic my plot progression is in my WIP. I recommend you check it out (and just follow Mike already – I link to him enough here).
In other news, I finished some light reading involving dimension-hopping and time travel. Of course I’m referring to the new novel The Skin Map by Stephen Lawhead. I’ll be discussing it more next week for a blog tour, so if the premise interests you (and it really should), then check back.
Finally, is there anything people want to discuss here? Seriously, I’m interested in some topics to help feed this fertile imagination. That way, I don’t come up with something that stinks…
OK, this post is getting far too silly. I’ll be back soon with hopefully more coherent thoughts.

A bonafide Jason sighting!
June was a hopping month, no doubt about it. Between home and work, I didn’t have much sit-down time for blogging. Didn’t really have much thinking time to write something interesting.
Hopefully July will be better. It should, but a book I should be reading by now isn’t here yet, so that’s not a good sign.
In lieu of originality, here are some interesting reads from the Net:
Brandilyn Collins: How to stab someone at a dinner party. Natch.
Mary DeMuth: Should Christ-followers read fiction?
Mike Duran: Dracula as Christian fiction?
