Star Trek and other stuff

selenayI have a dilemma. Star Trek is showing at 6.30pm or 9.50pm at my local cinema. Or there is 7pm, but that's a digital projection. Two questions:
1. What the heck does this digital projection thing do? Is it better than normal? Is this the showing everyone would recommend?
2. If I don't go to that one, is 6.30 or 9.50 the better option? Earlier doesn't give me a huge amount of time to go home, get food and get back to the cinema. Later might result in accidental sleeping. Third option is earlier showing and grab some food at a restaurant near the theatre, which I'm leaning towards heavily.
Ack, decisions! Plus, I've only once been to a cinema on my own so this is all new territory for me. But I'm doing it for Star Trek. There is no one I know who will watch it with me (without me driving 45 minutes through rush hour traffic, anyway) and going on my own guarantees that I'll actually see it.
And, er, leaves me room to go for a repeat viewing later if it's good enough :-)
OMG, need to book tickets tonight! Make decision!
I'm going to see Star Trek!
In more boring news...
The knuckle joint of my little finger is aching. I suspect that this is muscle ache due to the angle that I must hold it in at this desk to type. My new keyboard tray and other OT-prescribed gadgets cannot arrive soon enough.
However, the new monitors have arrived. Yay! I've got a 22" widescreen monitor. It is blindingly bright and I haven't yet figured out how to adjust it to a reasonable comfort level. It's also washing out a lot of colours so I don't think it's just me! Or possibly this is how things are supposed to look and it's been so long since I had a correctly calibrated monitor that I've forgotten what it looks like. Suspect that it's the monitor because Ravelry doens't normally look that washed out at home.
The monster headache that I've had since Friday is still here, so that's definitely not monitor-induced. I think that's tiredness induced. I very nearly didn't get up for work this morning. Ick.
