Clareified

I started to write a post about how this was the best flight of my life. I boarded, we pulled away from the gate right away, I fell asleep almost immediately and when I awoke half an hour later, I was pleased to learn that Jetblue is the official airline of The Simpsons movie. As such, if one tuned to channel 41 one would find “Simpsons programming.” Alright! Or…woo hoo! I tuned in to catch the end of the Homer goes to space episode. There were five more episodes, mostly from Season 14, but I was still pleased and entertained. So much so, that I started to get antsy. I decided to take a break from The Simpsons and watch a movie on my portable DVD player. (That’s right, three movies, a DVD player and a fully charged Nano, we weren’t taking any panic attack chances today.) I put the movie in and plugged in the earphones.
Huh…I can hear the movie…feel it whirring around in there and yet…no movie do I see…I futzed with it for a good twenty minutes before giving up.
Stupid Japanese.
Oh well, back to my previously scheduled Simpsons programming.
I flipped channel 41 back on and watched the Marge bake off episode and then…Homer goes to space came back on. Nooooooo…a loop? A loop!
And then the captain announced that we were just at the border of Kansas: only halfway across the country..
I cry. And then laugh. What next? An anvil falls out of the sky and lands on my head? An engine falls off a plane, speeds through a wormhole and crushes me to death in my sleep?
Ah well at least I have my trusty Nano to keep me sane…
