A penny here, a penny there....

Wow, this is going to be an expensive couple of months. We've got Christmas shopping in the offing, as well as all the attendant food because we're firm believers that a holiday that isn't an excuse for feasting as though we're English royalty enjoying the fruits of our labors (those labors being, of course, waging wars against the French and taxing our subjects to within an inch of indentured servitude). In addition to all that, though, is all the good geeky stuff coming out soon:

:: The DVD of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, which comes out November First.

:: John Williams's score to Memoirs of a Geisha comes out on November 22. I'm greatly looking forward to this one, in hopes of hearing what John Williams does with Japanese motifs.

:: The really big impending expenditure for me, though, is coming out December 13: the deluxe, complete edition of Howard Shore's score to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

The problem with saving pennies is that there aren't enough pennies to go around. If I ever run for public office, my campaign slogan's gonna be, "Everybody gets more pennies". It can't miss!
