a dogs purpose

Lin likes dogs, so I plan to preview this movie to see if she'd like it.

11:41 Monday 09 October 2017 JST

Just for the record, there were approximately 5 minutes of ads before the movie started after I pressed play.

I turned it off. Bailey was poorly trained.

Another comedy, chosen partially because I don't have time to finish it before we arrive.

12:06 Monday 09 October 2017 JST

Yep, five minutes of ads.

Wow I had the Easy Like Sunday Morning song in my head this morning.

aw man just missed the end of the movie. It was kinda cute. Great videography in some places.

flying home

10:46 Monday 09 October 2017 JST

As soon as I thought to write "flying home," I got a little pang of guilt. Isn't my home Houston?

Anyway, the flight from Perth to Honkers was a bit long, but fine. I slept for most of the first six hours and then watched the movie CHiPs because it was listed as a comedy, but .. it was pretty dark if it was a comedy. Suicide, lotta violence; I turned it off as the final scene was ramping up.

Before getting on the flight from Honk Kong to Narita, I spoke a bit with a couple on the flight. I realized about halfway into the convo that I had asked him where he was from, but not asked her. They are on a 13 day tour in Japan including Hakone, Nagoya, Takayama (not sure where that is), Kyoto, Osaka.

They are sitting in row 50+ and I am in row 60+, with no one beside me though I had decided I would make an effor to talk to the person who sat beside me.

I have been sleeping about 1.5 hours at this point, and now have written the above while waiting for the commercials before my selected movie, The Transport, or something. Ah, no, it's called The Passengers.

the passengers

Kinda reasonable premise, if interstellar travel were to be done through 3D space.

Synopsis: I wish I hadn't read the synopsis.

Actually, I turned it off after the first hour; I did not see any way it could end well and did not want to see them suffer.
