Up the Airplane, Sealed in Cellophane

Canadian Airlines International - Somewhere over the Pacific

Having somewhat ... eclectic and fussy musical tastes, I'm not generally one for airplane music. So what am I to do for 9 hours and 57 minutes? Let's see- Hanson and Celene Dion on one channel, some bland classical music on another. Oooh what a choice. At least the visual entertainment has improved. "Contact" has just ended, and has been replaced by static. Inspired by the movie, I'm trying to find patterns. Alarmingly (and perhaps due to overdoses of Vicks and wacky herbal echinacea throat spray), I'm quite successful in my search for patterns.

Every so often, the screen flickers slightly, raising our hopes that something interesting will appear.

Oh! Even as I type this, something has appeared. The problem here is that I've already seen it. I can't believe this. It's a repeat! It's a 9 hour flight!

Okay, so lest you think that will be a litany of complaints, I have to comment on the excellent food up here. I'm one of those odd people who actually likes airplane food. Also, I'd be a vegitarian if I didn't like steak so much. This steak was one of the best steaks I have ever had. Thanks!

PS- The title for this bit comes from a song on the "Killing Zoe" soundtrack CD. Crappy film, but great music. I always think of that song when I'm on an airplane- it's a great flying tune.
