California time

I jetblued to Long Beach yesterday.

Already, NY habits have caught me off guard. First, the sky looked cloudy so I vetoed exercising in the late afternoon because I thought it might rain a la frenetic thunderstorms in NYC. It never rained. Instead the sky looked beautiful dotted by clouds topped with pink, courtesy of the smog.

Second, I thought about sitting outside in the early evening on the patio, but then I hesitated, not wanting to get scar-inducing mosquito bites. But then I thought...wait a minute. There are no mosquitos in SoCal!

JFK was a fright. It was good I got there 1 hr and 40 min early. Long long security line and check-in line. Slept 4 solid hours on the plane waking up strategically for the (still!) free snacks and tea and water. Watched some King of the Hill I hadn't seen before.

After landing promptly picked up some Vietnamese spring rolls to snack on. Watched Kung Fu panda with mum. More action than many action movies these day. I agree with Yahoo viewer's ratings of B+.
