Crossing the pond

I'm writing this while I'm somewhere across the Atlantic, hovering higher than any bird I know of. Of course by the time this makes it to my blog I will be on the ground, but I didn't want to wait to put some ideas down.

I don't want to seem like I'm complaining, because I'm not really, or at least I shouldn't, but man it seems to me like the planes keep on getting smaller. Maybe this notion of mine comes in the heels of a report I saw regarding a particular air line reducing the distance between chairs, and I'm simply suffering from some sort of chair hypochondria, but since I did not bring a ruler, I stand behind the idea.

I also noticed that I failed to bring my glasses to the trip, a very silly move from my part since these days I'm somewhat of an ombilical reader, and in my tiny chair I'm having to put this phone between my legs.

Because we are all spoiled these days, I was under the impression that I would have one of those fancy screens with games, shows and movies, but this plane comes equipped with none of the fancies. Again, not a necessity by all means but a long flight like this one would be a lot more bearable.

The mild backpain I'm experiencing at the moment, reminds me of an old ad I once saw somewhere. An advertisement of some early commercial flying in what looked like the most comfortable of couches for a whole family to watch TV. I never confirmed the veracity, but boy that would be so nice.

Now, because I seem to be more prepared these days for boredom, I did get myself an audiobook on magic. Not that I could learn tricks this way, as I have no intentions of becoming an illusionist, but more because I've always been curious about the world they live in. My inner nerd who loves puzzles, intellectual challenges and what have you, has been fascinated with magic for as long as I can remember.

Oh, another thing I'm going to point out, food on this flight was not included either. I'm beginning to think I did not read the fine print at all this time, but it's ok, fasting is good.

Lights just got turned off, I'm going to try to rest but I doubt it will happen, it never does. Every time we hit turbulence and my heart tries to escape via my esophagus I wake right up. Yeah, I'm one of those guys... Always looking at the flight attendants, if they are chill, I'm chill...
