Just saw Superman.
We enjoyed it, I did appreciate the heart. The cgi dog was probably one of the best cgi characters I’ve ever seen.
At the same time, I think the positive buzz got my hopes up a little bit too high. It was very good, but not this big, uplifting thing.
Jurassic World...
Same. Don’t hate it, don’t really connect with it, don’t get the hype. But again, seeing Jaws, Star Wars and Empire in theaters before I turned 10 ruined movies for me for the rest of my life.

One more chair massage! Just a short one this time, no pics.
I got into the elevator, intending to go to bag check. For the first time, I read the sign in the elevator.
What I didn’t bother to mention the other night, because I thought it was boring and didn’t ultimately lead to anything...

I ordered the same lamb dish I ordered last time, which had me over the moon last time. Didn’t even look at the menu.
