Today marks the last day that I have off from work until Christmas. That's 10 straight days of work, for those of you who are keeping track. That's probably normal for many people but it's a lot for me, and I tend to sick of dealing with the general public pretty quickly. On the plus side, business has started to pick up, and there's only a few weeks left in the holiday season to worry about.
In other news, the AMC 14 screen theater finally opens up at the mall today. I love going to see movies at a theater and being able to catch a movie right after work sure sounds appealing. The timing as good as two movies came out recently that I'm really excited about seeing. The first is "syriana", a politically charged thriller with Matt Damon and George Clooney. It's from some of the same folks as "Traffic", and looks like it will have the same gritty, complex style to it. The other is King Kong. It's like getting a bonus summer action movie in December. I always love going to see those big blockbuster "event" movies and Kong certainly seems to fit that description.
Also, my Mom is having surgery on her hand and arm on Thursday to correct Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trigger Finger. It doesn't appear to be anything too serious, but she will have to wear a cast for a good while. No doubt Mom will milk this opportunity for all that she's got. Looks like the rest of us will be doing dishes for awhile.
