Open other hand.

A couple of weeks ago I bunch of us tried to see The Prestige at the Boston Common. To our dismay classicaljunkie literally bought the last ticket, and this was very confusing because the movie had opened like two or three weeks prior to that. Did the cinema it was in have like ten seats? I don't know. We all went home and played Settlers instead. The normal kind, not the food kind.

Now it's only playing in one theater in the entire greater Boston area, according to Sherlock. So tonight the junkie and I drove there, since it was only the Capitol in Arlington, and therefore largely a straight line. Perfect for practicing my driving! (Not that I really needed any; hooray for muscle memory. Er, though I did drive around without my headlights on for a long while.)

The movie started an hour and a half later than the internets said they would so we killed time by driving around some more, drinking coffee, and nosing around the neighboring Monroe Salt Works, which doesn't really have any salt in it, but has a lot of cool toys for sale. If I knew any little children I would have bought some. I especially liked the little sets of minimalist wooden wind-up paddle-boats that came in a neatly illustrated box. It's just the sort of thing I would have loved when I was little.

I enjoyed the movie. Huge Ackman's stomach muscles look weird to me, but they make me want to do more sit ups. Maybe one day I can have vaguely unsettling abs too. I made pokey motions at the screen whenever they appeared. Not really all that often. Anyway, I hope it plays at the thon. It would go over quite well there.

D'oh

Yes, I suppose I do know some children locally, but they're all very very little right now...
