The guy 2 rows behind me is snoring...

I will never begin a flight without Champaign again as long as I live. Flying without it is just dumb.

Our plane is just about to pass over the western coast of Newfoundland. I know this because there´s a little screen showing a map with a plane on it larger than many of the European countries on the map. I believe this is the actual size of the plane because I am inside it and it is HUGE. Of course it´s not the largest plane in existence, but only in a very large plane could I lay completely horizontally in a frickin bed. I couldn´t touch anyone around me if I tried. I may sound dazzled by my experience so far in first class and that´s because I am. Way to go, mom and dad, A+ for you guys.

...set my computer down for a little...

The little screen just told me that we have 4 hours and 6 minutes until we land in London. It also has been telling us the updated time wherever we currently are (right now in the middle of the land blob labeled Newfoundland) and I have been changing my watch each time... yeah, yuo could say I´m excited (and a little nerdy).

Before I began writing this I watched a movie on my private screen in my cubby. It was a pretty quality chick flick called "The Jane Austen Book Club." Perfect example of the genre: cute puns without much clever dialogue but with a supporting cast of handsome dudes (one Brit, although not Hugh Grant), an older woman/younger (hotter) man relationship, and a middle aged lady with a hot, young, lesbian daughter. I wanted to watch "Into the Wild" or "Across the Universe" but they are only in the catalogue and not in the actual menu selection. Piece of crap airplane.

Everyone else around me is sleeping but I think that would be kind of a waste of this situation I have going on here. Free Champaign served to me in my bed? Yeah, right, like I´d sleep through this! Don´t worry, mom and dad, I´m keeping it together ;) Remember, I´m a mature 21 year-old.

Oh, another time change. We are now over the Labrador Sea and heading out to the Atlantic. MAybe I´ll watch another movie, maybe a quality picture with more significant dialogue adn realistic human interaction than the last. Perhaps "Live Free or Die Hard" or "Transformers" (for the twentieth time).

I think I would enjoy this flight just that much more if the guy 2 rows behind me weren´t snoring...
