kajillionaire movie

 i watched a DVD movie this morning, a redbox rental, 'kajillionaire'. i recognized evan rachel wood in it. the closing credits said debra winger played her mom. this sure was a weird movie. i had wanted to see it at theaters but didn't make it to the theater in time for the start, and only one theater was showing it in this area. watching it at home is fine with me, way cheaper. it is the story of a family of three that are con artists. but things change when they meet a lady on a plane ride that says she can help with their scams. it is kind of funny that they had cheap rent at a place called 'bubbles, inc.' and had to run buckets when the bubbles ran down the walls. the daughter starts to question things when being paid to go in place of somebody at a parenting class. i found that part to be relatable, as i started to question things when i spent more time away from controlling parents. the weirdest part had to be getting birthday presents for years 1-17, with an invitation to dinner to get the one for year 18. also memorable to me was going to a bar near the airport and then using a bathroom at the adjacent mobil gas station. the song 'mr. lonely' by bobby vinton was in it. 

part of the errand-running for the day was returning the movie to the gas station. then it was to the post office, one e-bay order was there. i used a pen at the window on an item to mark it 'return to sender' and the funny employee said he didn't know i was left-handed. then it was on to the capitol to drop off recycle, and back to the gas station to get lunch, a corn dog and some cheese. i got more from the discount bin, two reese's peanut butter as well as two lady gaga oreo packs. i slept for a while in the afternoon. in the evening it was off to aldi for my weekly grocery order. when i got back i turned on the TV as fox had boxing on. i checked the fight card online and there were 8 matches scheduled at the shrine auditorium, but just three of them were televised. the first two had early knockouts, in the first and third rounds. the main event went the distance, 12 rounds, and the reigning champion won a unanimous decision. it was the fight of two calebs. no surprise who won as plant was out-punching truax by 4-1 for most of the fight. joey spencer won the first-round knockout, a fighter i saw at the minneapolis armory in 2018. looks like fox will have another night of boxing in a month from now. i went on a walk after the late news and found 41 cents. i still have a meetup walk to look forward to this weekend.
