My plane reading was <a href="http://www.thinkingfan.com/" rel="nofollow">The Thinking Fan's Guide to the World Cup</a>, which was kind of all over the place, in terms of quality of writing; while it was a great companion to the trip, a lot of the essays on the countries in Africa/Latin America/Asia were written by European or American white dudes who'd only been to the country covered in their essay a couple of times... not exactly enlightening.

Have you read that book? If not, read it on the plane to Germany. It will only take you two hours. Its an awesome book. Its about circuitous paths, and serendipity, and taking the road less travelled. I suspect that the MTV job maps to Santiago's work in the crystal shop (a stepping stone), but you are on your way.
