between myself and that other passenger we decided to
"take" the seats next to us so we could stretch our legs.

12:00pm - Lunch is served ... Beef and sausage and rice.
The sausage looked weird (white) ... so I just had the beef
and rice. Had some water and hot tea.

12:30pm - Watch "Hitch" ... liked it .. really funny.

2:45pm - Had a bathroom break ... really hate airline "CRs".
Go back to seat and watch "Be Cool" ... another good movie.
But I liked "Get Shorty" better ... maybe because it was more
about making movies ... rather than music.
