Buffalo, Day 5: Of not-so-Surprises, Sabres, and Sweeney

The one hassle with Christmastime visits is that everyone else is doing likewise (and/or swarming into shopping centers), making it a challenge to find places to go that aren't swamped with morons.  Thus, lots of movies, and last night also the Sabres game (first hockey game I've been to in nearly two years!), which was a grand and raucous affair which they came from behind to win against Philadelphia.  Though there was only one fight (and a fairly disappointing one at that), it was a hard-hitting game and the crowd was into it the entire time.

I also caught a very late showing of Sweeney Todd, which was a fine mixture of Tim Burton and musical silliness (though quite macabre and full of blood, so be forewarned.)  I haven't seen the musical it was derived from, but the two people I went with did, and they both gave it good reviews as well.

Apparently it's now the weekend, though with my presently warped sense of time and space it might as well be June.
