Slumdog Millionaire
It’s boxing day in Halifax which means just about everything is closed. No returns, no refunds, no exchanges. Movies we have on tap, so we spun through the listings on the handy dandy iPhone movie listings app and determined we’ll go see Slumdog Millionaire for the 6:30 showing at the Oxford Theatre. Not up for Tom Cruise & Nazis, Jim Carey and formulaic comedy. Probably could have gone for The Reader with Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes and will end up seeing Milk for sure. Tonight we’ll avoid the 18 theatre monsterplexs and settle into the comfy seating of the Oxford. I’ll make a move toward the popcorn concession and Alex will remind me we’re dieting. If I get away with it I’ll ask them for butter which will make Alex say “Brian, No!”. I’ll draw the line at sugar water though, no need to be courting diabetes.

DIET!!! Geez, getting the jump on the New years resolutions or what!
On second thought, that’s not “butter”, but “‘buttery’ topping” (food science at its scariest) so avoiding the concession stand might be prudent.
