Night At The Movies

beowabbit and I instead saw The Golden Compass. I hadn't known it had just opened, and through sheer blind luck I got Fandango tickets at 6:00 PM for an 8:00 PM show. An hour into the sold out showing, the movie stopped and an evacuation alarm sounded. We duly evacuated, quite disappointed. Exiting the building, we thought we saw smoke from a high portion of the building, but coming around front a few minutes later, they were already letting people back into the building. And so we once again took our seats (slightly better ones than we'd had before, in fact) and saw the rest of the movie. I'm glad we went -- I haven't read the books, so I'd felt no pressing urgency to see the movie. It was a wonderful surprise, and now I look forward to reading the books. I want a Daemon. And I want it to look like Barbossa's monkey.
My poor sweetie isn't feeling well today. He's home, hopefully resting and relaxing. I'm going caroling with the gang tonight, though. No time for a nap, so coffee is in order.
