I got a Christmas present of a $10 Cinemark gift card from one of the librarians*. I was whining about how a theater ticket doesn't really fit in my $15 per diem**, not with anything useful left over anyway, but it turns out the Century 16 is a Cinemark theater.
I see Sweeney Todd in my future.
* My ex-boss, in a different way than the way that my current boss has also been my ex-boss. Ah, the circles of life, or library musical chairs, you might call it.
** Amount of paycheck deposited into checking account minus projected and ongoing expenses divided by the number of days left in the month. Yes, yes, Virgo blah blah blah. Usually it's bigger than that, but things like plane tickets take a large bite out of my discretionary income. I am fanatical about sticking to a budget anyway, but in this case my extra impetus is that February is going to be mighty expensive, probably the tune of $1500 between Montreal and Pantheacon, so in two weeks I'm going to spend what I normally might in the whole month.

I'd never seen the play so I was swept up in it and shocked by plot turns. It's vivid, pretty, funny and dark. Bellatrix, er I mean Bonham-Carter is quite herself.
