I'm thinking about the first show (bargain matinee!) a week from Friday.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Turns out they are having midnight showings of Batman Begins, but I already have my ticket for IMAX on Thursday (curse working Wednesday night) so I'll have to make do.
Also curse having an 8am meeting today.

I BETTER have a ticket for Batman on Wednesday night already, but I need to confirm with the ticket-buyer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hello. I am bored, yet I must work. Does this seem fair?

Midnight showings = too late for me. I'd like to see Batman and will attempt to do so next weekend. But I'm exhausted at the thought of such a late night.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

About as fair as the fact that I am tired, yet I must work.
But OTOH, one of my bosses is sick, and the other will leave soon for two hours to go work out, so perhaps there may be nappage....
ION, a great mystery of life has been solved. I must remove the door panel on the inside of my Mercury so I can get at the power door lock mechanism. But until now I've always been clueless how to do that. The secret tool? Wooden spatula.

Stupid work.

Stupid Mondays.
My iPod agrees, as it played "I Don't Like Mondays" for me on my commute....

Fears grow for kidnapped Dalek
Concern is growing for a "kidnapped" Dalek after its owners received a ransom note together with the model's amputated plunger. The TV villain was swiped from Wookey Hole Caves, a Somerset tourist attraction, on Monday (6 June) where it was held in storage after going on display at the Bath and West Show. Wookey Hole staff received a ransom note from its abductors on Thursday (9 June), which said "We are holding the Dalek captive. We demand further instructions from the Doctor."
Which Doctor the kidnappers - from the previously unknown group Guardians of the Planet Earth - wanted to talk to is unclear. The current status of the 1.6m model, believed to be a rare original from the first Dr Who series, is unknown. Owners are offering a reward of £500 for the safe return of its prized asset, estimated to be worth thousands of pounds. Former Dr Who actor Colin Baker has expressed interest in the case and may be asked to intercede on behalf of the Time Lords' mortal enemy, the BBC reports.
Wookey Hole manager Daniel Medley told BBC News that: "The arm has been removed quite carefully, it hasn't been ripped off, there's no torture involved." The lack of torture would appear to rule out Henry Van Statten but police are keeping an open mind.
"The police think it was probably taken by kids or students, but there is also the idea that it could be heading to Edinburgh for the G8 protests," Medley added. Police are less than amused at the apparent prank. "If it is a stunt there is an issue of wasting police time," a police spokeswoman said. ®
