poker face movie

 i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'poker face' in the afternoon. i recognized russell crowe. it was only minimally about a poker game between longtime friends. what made it a thriller was who showed up after the game began. when there is talk of bluffing, guess the lessons learned from playing cards can apply to other things. but it seemed slow before the poker game began. i was aware of how crowe was involved with the movie in other ways besides just acting. some of the songs in the credits say 'written by crowe'. plenty of artwork in it, the credits did say it was filmed at an art gallery in sydney, australia. it was all right, a free rental for me as i had enough points from previous rentals. 

normally i watch the movie in the morning, but i saw when the music city bowl would be starting, 11am on ABC, and said i needed to get other things done first. it meant going to the post office, two orders picked up. and i went to barnes and noble in eagan and got a national geographic edition with world war two maps, as well as a charlie brown calendar. i made it back just before the start of the game. iowa beat kentucky 21-0, all points scored in the first half. two of the three TDs were on a 'pick 6'. one was from close range. this is my favorite play in football. i started the movie shortly after the game ended. then it was on to errand running after the movie. there was the weekly visit to aldi for groceries. then i went to the gas station and dumped the movie. after that i went to target and got some chocolate milk, they were out of egg nog but i knew it was nearing the end of the season for that drink. also got some jif peanut butter, 'jif to go', in an 8-pack. during my walks i found 26 cents. hard to say what i will do for new years eve, although i did hear of a show on NBC with sia, as well as dolly parton, performing.
