- Have to go back to Tuesday the 8th. ... For the first time since before I started my temp job, I watched a movie, Jack Reacher. It has a jaunty style and deceptively radical tone changes -- some of it worked, some didn't. But the cinematography was great. The centerpiece chase scene is as awesome (and CGI-free!!) as a centerpiece should be, but the opening scene, a silent view through a sniper's gunsight, is also great. Eighties sensibilities is rife throughout this movie. The one thing that keeps bothering me after watching is that very few of the pieces match up. I still don't get how the bad guy got away with the initial murders. And I still don't know how Jack Reacher just happens to show up at the right time. Just because there wouldn't be a movie if he didn't, I guess. B. Oh, the price of a movie ticket at this place bumped up a quarter, but it's still Stimulus Tuesday, which means a small popcorn and Coke are still $1.50 each. Total: $8.25.
- ETA that I totally forgot what I did Tuesday evening: Go to the University of Minnesota men's hockey 1 vs. 2 or 1 vs. 3 (depending on which poll you use) against Notre Dame, which turned out to be a 4-1 ass-kicking. Unfortunately I used up every single dollar in my wallet after scalping a ticket and buying a program, so I had to resort to using my credit card to buy my food. The ticket cost $40!!! Add the $4 program and you obviously get to: $44.
- Monday the 7th ... parked my ass all day at a library. They have a coffee shop, one I haven't been to in ages. Coffee with tip is -- um, I totally forget, so I'm totally taking a shot in the dark: $2.25.
- Saturday, January 5th: Only EWR is a tip for washing my car. Had to use my credit card for everything else that day. Man, the next statement is going to fucking hurt: $2.
- And then that night I got around to signing the sympathy card I got for Aunt and Uncle's children. As my other uncle told me, I put in some money: $30.
- Friday the 4th ... Caffetto. Man, what the fuck did I get? I think that was the day I freaked out over my expenses, so I'm guessing I went for coffee instead of a mocha ... no, I had the mocha. After I ordered I remember sauntering back to my computer to see if it was fully booted up yet, and I lingered at my laptop for a while. I might have gotten a small mocha, though. With tip: $6.50.
- Wednesday the 2nd was the day I went to pick up my car and stopped at the coffeeshop next door to cool my heels until I saw Uncle. With tip for coffee -- oh, I'll say: $2.25.
