Just landed in Syndey, on a layover before flying to Perth where we start things up. All my guitars were shipped to Austraila after the last gig in NYC, so I’m hot to play again.

The flight over was easy enough. I started watching the film “Deja Vu” starring Denzel Washington. It’s listed as a “mind bender” in the Qantas entertainment guide. I don’t want to give away anything you wouldn’t find on the back of the box, but it’s kind of a time-travel flick. I was having a blast watching it, and just as the most pivotal moment in the movie was taking shape, the screen paused and the Captain (I remember his last name was Gordon. Or maybe Gorton, which would be nice to think of two brothers, one manning the helm of a 747 and the other a fishing boat) came over the PA to advise us, basically, that the party was over. Needless to say I never got to see how the film resolves, which is really stuck in my craw right now because I don’t want to forget the salient details of the movie before I finish it someday.

Now I wish I was in a movie about time travel, except in this movie I travel back in time to stop my past self from deciding to watch the first hour of Dreamgirls so that I can have time to finish Deja Vu. It’s not that Dreamgirls is a terrible movie, it’s just that there’s not enough time traveling in it for my taste. Maybe a breathtaking climax by way of a singing number called “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going (To Hunt Dinosaurs)” would be cool for next time, Hollywood.

Hey John…you definitely want to finish the movie…awesome ending!
