mad dog and glory movie

 i watched a DVD movie, a recent purchase, this evening, 'mad dog and glory'. it is replacing the VHS copy. it had been a while since i had seen it. i recalled robert deniro as a cop and bill murray as a gangster, but not much else. and how the gangster owns the comedy club he performs at. i didn't recall at all how dave caruso was in it as deniro's cop friend. it takes place in chicago, which scores points with me. i had to pause one scene to know what commuter train stop the cop was at, it was roosevelt and state. it was an unsual story, the cop saving the life of a gangster. and then the thank you is getting a lady, played by uma thurman, for a week. the same one that spills coffee on him at the comedy club. i recognized one photo on the wall at the club, it was of andrew clay. 

the movie watching is usually in the morning, but i wanted to work on some other things before heading out to the meetup walk. so i added more stamps to a page, enough to finish it and get it in a binder with the other pages in my collection. i had lunch a little early, to allow enough time to walk to the park. except i didn't find the event coordinator. must have went to the wrong entrance. another hiker did the same thing, and he gave me ride to the other entrance but they had started without us. after a few minutes i went home. what added to the frustration was how my camera stopped working. i read the owners manual, which said call the manufacturer and not the place i bought it from. they told me the problem was with the memory card, i was using one with an adaptor, from walgreen. so i went to best buy, where i bought it from, and got one that didn't need an adaptor. and i got frustrated again, as it took me three tries with the scissors to get the package open. i even said to an employee that laughed how it wasn't funny. i am disappointed in myself how i can still get easily frustrated but i was thinking it was another defective camera, like the one i bought more than 5 years ago. i do better when i have solutions, and the memory card i bought seems to work fine. on my way back home i stopped at a gas station and got two more packs of the lady gaga oreos, they are down to one now in the discount bin. when i got home i called my college roommate to say how i would be more valuable if i was more tech-savvy like he is. we talked sports as well as the pandemic, and a little about our line of work. after watching 'the simpsons', about lisa going to detention, i put in the movie. and after the late news i went on another walk. the total i found today was 69 cents.
