french exit movie

 i watched a DVD movie this morning, a redbox rental, 'french exit'. i recognized michelle pfeiffer in it. i chose this one because it was part of previews on last week's selection, 'the father'. i might have seen a movie with this kind of storyline before, where somebody rich falls into financial trouble and has to sell most of their assets. i eventually recognized danielle macdonald in it, thanks to the closing credits. and i said that must be the lady rapper from the movie 'patti cakes', and it was, the one who sings 'pb and j'. in this one she is a fortune teller and is brought in to communicate with a cat that has the spirit of the main character's late husband. some people in the closing credits were described as who they were since they were given no name, guess i have seen this many times before. there was 'brave man in park, man who takes cash in park, rude waiter, and nice waiter'. also memorable will be when we hear 'it means pig'. the characters in this story all seemed to be weirdos in one form or another, but somehow the story still works. for lack of a better term, i am saying 'weirdo' but i think it is one way of saying they had flaws. i liked hearing the definition of 'cliche' given as well, since the word is used way too much. 

after the movie was done it was an active day. it meant going to the post office, all 3 orders were there. i confirmed the holiday schedule for next week, still open saturday but not monday. i dropped off recycle, and went to a target to find 'space jam' cereal. this one had lucky charms with character from the movie on the box. later on after finding out a meetup outing was postponed due to rain, i ventured out to another target location and found it. but this time it meant asking for help. while there i also got a box of kellogg frosted flakes with shaquille o'neal on the front. so now i have 3 family-sized boxes, so i am good on cereal likely for a month. after the first target visit i went to south st. paul for kaposia days. i found a button at the second place i went to. then i had a blizzard treat at the dairy queen. the car show was supposed to be at the high school's parking lot, but must have been scrapped due to the rain. so i found lunch at a kwik trip store and headed home. it was a steak ranchero breakfast burrito. eventually i made it over to aldi for my weekly grocery order, and was back in time for watching baseball on fox in the evening. dodgers beat the cubs 3-2. during my walks for the day i found 53 cents. i liked reading through the recent purchase of a special magazine about musician willie nelson, and it may inspire another amazon order due to mention of the acting he has done.
