midnight in the switchgrass movie

 around mid-morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'midnight in the switchgrass'. i recognized bruce willis in it, although he has a small role and it is more of a megan fox vehicle. when looking at the closing credits i saw an actress credited as sistine stallone, yep, sylvester's daughter. i looked it up. it is a thriller about a serial killer, and the FBI is involved with the investigation. at one point megan's character is collared, hard to forget those scenes. there were a few things that didn't add up, as i don't recall megan's character being drugged but it is in the trailer. along with an employee of the trucking company refusing to help, saying she needed a court order, then deciding to help. some of it was filmed in puerto rico. 

i put in the movie after watching a history lecture on zoom, through the state historic society. it was about the smallpox epidemic during the american revolution era. i made it back from the post office, where i picked up two orders from my box, just in time for the start of it. of course some of the things said about it are relevant today in terms of dealing with the current pandemic. there is another lecture later this season that interests me, but not until february. after the movie it was time for lunch, and i got a sandwich at the gas station, same place where i dumped the movie. after lunch i went to aldi for my weekly grocery order, and when i made it back the football game i wanted to see had already started. it was iowa vs. purdue, on ABC, but it was halfway through the first quarter and no score so i didn't miss much. iowa lost 24-7. after the game i had the evening meal, some pizza, and switched over to fox to see the baseball playoff game. it was the red sox vs. the astros, game 2. this time the red sox won, 9-5. after this i didn't do much for the rest of the night, finished a word find and read friday's paper. i went on a walk and found 28 cents. kind of nice not to have too much planned for this weekend, easier to get caught up some things, and one of those is sleep.
