I’m writing this from the airplane while in my phone. This won’t be published until we land since this flight didn’t happen to have wifi (which is pretty freaking awesome to think about) but right now, it is 2:38pm EST. As the screen in front of me states, I have about 8.5 hours remaining until we land in Narita airport. The flight so far has gone well, surprisingly. I thought I would be bored out of my mind, but Im hanging in there. These neck pillows don’t work as well as I had hoped though. :/
I’ve got my phone (in airplane mode) to occupy me with music and videos. Since I had so much time, I was also considering rereading Harry Potter: HBP, as the movie comes out next week. I’ll probably get to that next.
I’ve seen all these people write in this dreamy sort of language about looking out their plane window and being above the clouds and how surreal and metaphysical it is. Sure, pretty sweet. Quite gorgeous. But Im going to leave that to others to spell out for me. I would love to walk on the clouds and fly through the sky (skydiving anyone??). I’d post a photo now, but the clouds outside are not very defined. More of a murky mess as we are over Alberta now.
Oh well. At this point, onwards to Tokyo. 2000 miles in, 8 hours to go. I’ll be here, to say the least.

Flying over British Columbia, Canada now. Snapped a cool shot of the mountains from 35,000 ft.

So, I haven’t touched a book yet. It happens. I’ve watched two movies so far, though. Both provided by the airlines for our personal monitors on the backs of the seats. “Last Chance Harvey”- totally not a movie for my age. It’s destined for the middle aged single people that still want hope in their love lives. Yeah… Not very interesting either.
Also watched “Taken” which I’ve been meaning to see for a while. I even ripped it to my computer, but iTunes said my iPhone couldn’t read it. So I watched it in flight. Very predictable and linear plot line, but at least it was exciting and interesting. Now, on to House.

This is what it looks like to cross the international date line.
