11:20: I can see Blackpool Tower! The hills in the lakes are covered in snow.
11:50: Aeon Flux wastes an hour and a half of my life.
13:20: I find two nines in the same column in The Times' beginners Soduku.
13:47: Out of the window far below there are icebergs. Sigur Ros is playing and I try to get some sleep.
13:57: I mock the swedish person next to me as they model their BA eye cover. They can't see it though.
13:59: John Owen's concept of beholding Christ's glory by faith seems to be understood as by reveling in the character of Christ as revealed by scripture. Is this an ecstatic experience or a cerebral one or what? 15th century puritan author, clarify thyself.
14:30: The guy isn't waiting for the toilet, he's waiting to pay for his duty free.
07:16 (PST): The tv is showing Everybody Loves Raymond as we reach Canada. I hate Raymond. I hope this isn't auspicious
07:45: Father Ted is on and I can make out the province of Quebec.This is better.
08:32: "We've just turned off the inflight entertainment system for a short while to identify an electrical glitch, certainly nothing to worry about." WE'RE ALL DOOMED
08:50: Just saw the most peculiar thing, down below where it should be all white, blue or gray there is a patch of dark brown red. It went behind a cloud fairly immediately. Odd.

10:24: Snow, while pretty, is deathily boring after a while.
11:03: Cloudly below, in flight entertainment is still broken, but food is on the way. Things could be worse.
11:04: They've just handed out complaint forms. Pre-printed with apologies. This somewhat sounds less sincere. Flying over America now. I'm amazed how big and empty it is. I've seen some roads and that's it. And then of course I see a town.
11:22: You know what would be cool? If they replaced the electronic in seat maps with a plane tracking Google Earth.
12:20: Wow, we just passed over a jetstream. STUFF THAT, a jet just flew under us. I think we just flew over a military base, jetstreams everywhere.
13:00: 20 minutes to landing! 20 minutes!
