I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Mariel a Happy Birthday! Also, a belated Happy Birthday to Buddy, Cheryl, Christine, and Cliff! Whew...

Now for a complete change of subject. Yesterday Kahn ("The Wrench") informed me that, despite what the trailers said, Shrek 2 was actually opening Wednesday night, not Friday. In a panic, I got some people together to go see it. I decided to buy tickets online in case the theater was crowded. The first site I thougth of was movies.com, so I went there to find showtimes. I found a local theather and clicked on the "Buy Tickets" link, which redirected me to movietickets.com. Each ticket was $10, with a service charge of $1.75. A little pricey, yes, but whatever. Later in the day, Buddy asked if I wanted to go see a movie, so I informed him of our Shrek plans. I told him that I would forward him the link to buy the tickets. So again, I went to movies.com, but this time, the theather I had bought tickets for was not listed. So I searched for "AMC Theaters" on Google, clicked on their "Showtimes and Tickets" link, which again took me to movietickets.com. This time, the right theater was listed. All good, right? Wrong. I went to Buddy's desk to see if the link was working, and I noticed that on his page, which was on the *same* movietickets.com site, listed the service charge as only $1.00. Wha? After a bit of head-banging and confusion, I discovered that getting to movietickets.com through movies.com causes the service charge to be $1.75, while going through any other source makes it $1.00.

So the moral of the story is: Sha Sha uses a lot of words to say not very much.

P.S. The movie was funny.
P.P.S. There is something after the credits, but I missed it. If you catch it, let me know what happened.
