I wasn't going to do any posts for this trip, since
a) I've been there before
and
b) I'd be spending most of my time watching Dota
however, more than one person asked if I was going to blog this trip, so either people like reading my ramblings accompanied by pictures of food, or it's the only casual banter they have; in any case, I'll do a post or two, potentially copy pasting last year's efforts.
Anyway, Rob gave me a lift to the airport (another early morning flight so I repeated my trick of staying at the airport) and on the way we stopped at a dimly lit bar that served burgers (Mr. Scruffy's I believe)
 |
| A bacon cheeseburger. Serviceable. |
 |
| Rob had wings, I tried one. |
 |
| Pulled Pork Taco. Commits not only the grievous sin of having a soft shell, but also the even worse sin of not mentioning that on the menu. |
 |
| Poutine. |
I think I had been asleep for nearly an hour when the fire alarm woke me, and I threw on sufficient clothes that gave a good balance between burning to death inside versus freezing to death outside, and piled downstairs with everyone to discover, well... You know those signs that say "close the door when you shower. The steam can set off the smoke detectors"? Apparently they mean it.
I went back to sleep, woke up the next morning, and headed across to catch my plane.
I got around to watching American Sniper myself this flight, I enjoyed it, but stand by my previous summation of the plot.
Other stuff that I watched both on the way there and back:
Kingsman, Jupiter Rising, Age of Ultron, Inherent Vice, both recent Sherlock Holmes films, Run all night, and probably some other stuff that escapes my memory right now...
Not wanting to also turn this into a movie review site, I will simply say, on a scale of 0 to "Worth watching if you're trapped on a plane for over 14 hours" I give each of these films a 5.
