Non Sequitors

At the Capitol Theater in Arlington, sometimes they also show current Indian releases along with third run major films and first run art-house selections. And as with any marquee, they have to sometimes shorten movie titles to fit a number of them on there. This was on their marquee earlier this month.

Make up your own joke on this; that one’s even too surreal for me.

And these titles were up on the Fresh Pond Cinema:

This Christmas
Gift Certificates

Good tip for the holidays.

=============

Sophia had her birthday last Wednesday. She turned five on December 5, which meant it was her golden birthday. A friend of mine mentioned that it also means you have to give them something gold on that day. Taking her suggestion, I got five gold dollars and gave them to her in a little gift bag. In the living room she said to me, “Thank you for my birthday.” There was supposed to be a party or gift or some other word after that, but I think that was the sweetest thing she ever inadvertently said to me.

In addition to turning five years old, Sophia lost her first tooth this past Monday. It was loose for a good week and finally fell out while she was in school. So the Tooth Fairy paid her a visit that night. I asked her about it today when picking her up from school:

Me: Did the tooth fairy visit you?
Sophia: Yes.
Me: Did she leave you anything?
Sophia: Yes.
Me: What did she leave you?
Sophia: Five dollars.

Honestly, I don’t think I ever got a total of five dollars for all the teeth in my mouth. Man, I got gypped.
