I have already had an interesting week. My quick trip to Korea gave me some quality airplane sitting time.. Like 14 hours one way and 12 hours back.. I’m not much of a movie watcher.. but I always look to see if there’s a new movie i’ve been waiting to see.. or an old favorite.. this time.. i found my all time favorite.. ‘The Big Labowski’.. i started watching it on the outbound.. and enjoyed it so much that I watched it again. then i dozed off.. so i watched it yet again.. for a total of 5 times on the way between Detroit and seoul.. then.. on the way back.. i figures.d.. why ruin a good thing ? I watched to 5 more times.. .. sometimes with the sound on.. sometimes with it off.. i slept a bit.. but kept restarting it.. .. for a total of 10 back to back viewings.. its hard to overachieve in underachiever circles.. but could that be a new world record.. .?!?!
I gotta say.. that when you watch a movie that many times in the space of only 48 hours you start to see things that you never noticed.. .. actually you start seeing things that aren’t even there !.. I found misread lines, weird art, inside jokes..
I can say that it positively affected my world view so much that I’m taking the next two days off…
Hello again from Seoul. A good working day here.. I noted that today would have been my parents 58th (or is it 59th) wedding anniversary.. wow.. It’s my Mom’s 2nd anniversary since Dad died.. I know those days can be hard..
Ma’s doing pretty well these days.. she just sent us this pic from her 60th College reunion at Smith.. How many folks can wear their 60 year old Gym outfit to their reunions.. and make it look this good ?!?!
the rest of today was an inside blur…. looking outside at the pretty, hot and hazy Seoul skyline
Greattings from Seoul.. a city thats really growing on me.. It’s ahead of its time in so many ways .. including biing 14 hours ahead of home. i’m barely conscious with Jet lag.. but want to give a shoutout to all the people back in the past..
it’s an amazingly ordered and disciplined place.. the following exodus from the airport train was done almost silently !
i’m traveling with my friends Sky and Dinakaran… we shared a cab to the hotel through the glowing early evening light
we had just enough time before our meeting for some BimBomBop.. .. mine was squid.. and it was really tasty
now.. i just gotta close my eyes..
just forva second… (oops.. really did fall asleep !)
nite all, nite sam
