So here I am on JetBlue once again. This time, I'm flying from JFK to Burbank. Status update: my seat is quite good. Exit row window seat -- yeah, pretty much the best you can get. The only detraction seems to be my tray table which is too slanted, causing my beverage to come sliding recklessly towards my lap if I don't keep a firm hand on it. I've recently enjoyed a bag of Munchies mix with a ginger ale. Plus, in a rare moment of pre-flight logistical genius, I decided that instead of languishing on the plane for five and a half hours without a real meal, I would instead buy a sandwich ahead of time. My choice? Black forest ham and brie with honey mustard. It was a most welcomed sandwich, especially after the hour we spent sitting on the tarmac. Of course, no meal would be complete without a little dessert; so for this mighty occasion, I indulged in a dark chocolate Toblerone bar. It seemed like a great idea at the time, and it certainly was delicious, but I had massively underestimated the candy bar's potential to send a shower of chocolate splinters down onto my lap with every bite. As a result, I had faced the tricky dilemma of having to brush off chocolate without making it melt onto my shorts. Everything seemed to go perfectly -- I managed to liberate my shorts of any chocolate threats. But alas, there was only one piece left. One damn little piece of chocolate. I think I had become too cocky in my chocolate-sweeping abilities because I tried to brush that bastard away, and dammit if it didn't instantly melt and leave a dark stain. Oh well. In other news, my stomach keeps making deep growly sounds that sound like farts but aren't. I'm praying that the woman next to me falls asleep so that I don't have to deal with the embarrassment much longer.

Anyhoo, it's 5:51 now on this laptop, which means it's really 8:51 on the East Coast. That means one thing: it's primetime! At nine, NBC has a new episode of Treasure Hunters. I don't know if I can bring myself to watch it here on the plane. I might have to save it for later. I wouldn't want to accidentally put myself to sleep.

Sci-Fi has a Twilight Zone marathon on, and it's the famous episode with the beautiful woman whose face is in bandages the whole time. "Eye of the Beholder," I believe. It's the only episode of the Twilight Zone I've ever seen because it's the only one that's ever on. Hey Twilight Zone marathon: way to be original, jerks!

MTV. Yay! Janelle is being a bitch to Svetlana on The Real World. I love stupid people.

VH1 Classics has Grease on. It's nice to see some of John Travolta's early performances. Really dispels all those rumors about him.
