i bought a few movies on DVD this afternoon. the previous day i noticed there was multiple copies of 'hoosiers' at a dollar store, i checked and i didn't have it yet. so i bought it and decided to look at a resale shop as well, cheapo records. first time i had looked at the movies there, usually i am looking at the music. i bought 2 DVDs there, one was videos by the band smashing pumpkins. the other was the babe ruth movie, starring john goodman, from 1992. i had a list of movies with me that i have on VHS, and this was one of them. so i was pleased that i was able to junk another VHS tape. the total has slowly dwindled over the years, it is now down to 40.
i very much enjoyed seeing the babe ruth movie, as i love baseball and this time of year is tough for me as a baseball fan as it is the off-season. so this is one thing that keeps me interested. i am aware of the improvements on the DVD versions when i switch over, as there are special features on them. in this case it was some short movies starring the babe himself. there is mention of his doing movies in this movie, such as when he shows up late to spring training. i like it when i hear him saying 'banana oil' to the server, he is wooing her. i recall a high school classmate saying he was an extra in this movie, as it was filmed in Illinois and some of it was at Wrigley field in Chicago. and i have met one of the actors in it, wayne messmer, who plays a radio announcer in it. he is often seen at Chicago wolves games, a minor-league hockey team.
i liked how it was a fairly leisurely day for me. i reminded myself about the backlog on the baseball cards i had bought, and not yet in binders. so i took care of some of them, but not all. the ones now in are the ones bought as a 'grab bag' item at the Minnesota twins fanfest last month. remaining are the ones bought at a Walgreen. but i am out of sheets now, and will need to buy more.
i also bought two items on amazon for the first time since November. one was a baseball movie, '8 men out', and the other was a book by dick enberg, the sports announcer. already had his book 'oh my', it was after he died in December i found out he did another one, 'humorous quotes'.
