A fairly routine outing

Another fairly routine trip to Union Station... I'm getting into the habit of going there about twice a week to ship the items that I've sold on Half and Amazon (I'm averaging about two items a day). I then went to see "King Arthur", which is a pretty good flick. There was a woman a few seats over who reminded me of me -- constantly shifting in her seat (as I do, since my lower back gives me trouble in cinema seating) and showing a lot of the same mannerisms/stims that I have. Not a lot to go on, of course, but I did wonder whether she might be on the spectrum.

After the film, there was one other guy besides me who stayed for the credits, and he was yammering on to one of the custodians about how some cinemas leave the lights down during the credits and they don't start cleaning up until the credits are over (I wish all cinemas did that... I hate having the lights come up and the crew coming in during the credits, since to me, the film isn't over yet). As he and I walked out together at about the same time, I saw a kiosk advertising a new Chucky film for Halloween, and as he was talking about whether "Spider-Man 2" might have spent too much money on prints for all the screens it opened on (making me wonder whether he, like me, was an autistic with a cinema perseveration), I handed him my camera and asked him to take a photo of the kiosk, showing the film's surprise star.

A new dimension in horror. (Fairly large-ish image, but I didn't want to lose any detail by reducing it.)
