It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane (why yes it is!)

April 13, 2009 by  

Coming at you from high above the clouds. Why? Because I can. Just felt the need to blog from the airplane because this is the first flight that I’ve been on that offers WiFi and I thought that was all kinds of cool. I’m such a dork.

Virgin America gets a big gold star for offering internet access. However, it gets a big thumbs down for Fox being the only major network they carry. (Not sure what the ration is for gold stars to thumbs down, but I think it involves Schrute bucks and Stanley nickles). Limited network TV really messes with my TV viewing tonight. I had planned on watching THE BIG BANG THEORY and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Now I’m going to have watch them illegally online tomorrow. Sorry CBS, I hate to do it, but you don’t offer your shows online…clearly you think this is 2007 or something. At least there’s HOUSE.

A post wouldn’t be a post without reminding you to watch CHUCK at 8pm on NBC. Try to watch it LIVE if you can. I don’t understand all the ratings nonsense but Schwartz says people should be watching it live. He’s a little further in the loop than me so I’m going to believe him on this one.

Other than that, I’ve got nothing. I’ve got another 5 hours on this flight so if you’re online talk to me…either on Twitter or in the comments. I’ve got nothing but time.

    Do you feel all superior now over those people that are well, just reading a book or magazine? But will your battery last the whole 5 hours?

    Superior? Ha ha. Not at all. Actually I won’t be online all that much since I want to get some reading done. I’ll pull out my Kindle and then feel superior. Books with pages? I laugh at books with pages 😉

    As for the battery…the flight has plugs at every seat not only for power but they also have USB ports too. Oh it’s 2009 alright!

    That is amazing! I hate to fly but if I had WiFi and could track my flight, I might just be more comfortable. Oh yea, that’s the kind of nerd that I am!

    CBS has full episodes of HIMYM on line. Right now Maurtaugh (or however you spell it) is the most recent available, but that was the last ep aired.

    Big Bang Theory just seems to be clips.

    You have the real Kindle right? I DLed the ap for my iphone but haven’t read the one book I have on it yet. I have so many books with pages to read still!

    Oh, and jsut to puff you up a bit more…I have decided to add Greek to my netflix cue after your gushing about it on the podcast. So along with Chuck I will be busy this next weekend. I can’t tell you how many shows I gave a chance to because of you and/or Dan. Good job TV blogger!
