protege movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'the protege'. i recognized sam jackson, michael keaton, and robert patrick in it. it was a thriller about assassins, one being rescued as a child in vietnam. i liked seeing what businesses were used to cover up the assassin activity, they were a rare-book shop and a dry cleaner. it was filmed in multiple nations, the closing credits listed romania, bulgaria, vietnam, as well as great britain. the story showed that not everything was what one sees on the surface, as there are some faked deaths later revealed. once the movie was done i needed to get started on errand running. first stop was the post office, but there was nothing of note to pick up. the orders placed with e-bay and amazon haven't arrived yet. then it was on to the barnes and noble book shop in roseville. i picked up two books there, one of them was 'anatomy of an actor' about george clooney. i saw it last week and said i wanted it because one of the movies profiled was 'up in the air'. the other book was 'shocking secrets of american history', and there are plenty of stories in it. i saw how it was next to another history book of interest, about theodore roosevelt on trial for libel in 1915. now that i have those two there is one left to get, the companion book to the ken burns documentary about country music. i was in harmar mall and there is a cub foods in that complex, so i got a burrito for a late lunch then headed home. i dumped the movie at the gas station before i made it home. i had college football on today but didn't watch it closely, after a while i fell asleep. i made it to aldi for my weekly grocery order in the early evening, then had some pizza once i got back. later on in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 2 cents. it bothered me for a while that i didn't write down a song i recently heard when out and about, but i seemed to recall the sentiment well enough to look it up online, it appears to have been 'anything but down' by sheryl crow.
