somewhere in queens movie

this was an eventful day, and as a day off i prefer it that way. in the afternoon i went to see the movie 'somewhere in queens', in eagan. i had heard how it was at the local film festival, was correct it would get a wider release outside of it. i recognized ray romano and laurie metcalf in it. looks like ray also directed it. there was a transition scene showing the mets baseball stadium as it is in queens. this is about ray being part of a family construction business and his son plays high school basketball. the son is dating, but i didn't like the scene where he gets locked out of his car by the girl. much like in 'lady bird', it was a good choice to cast laurie as the mom. after the movie i went home and watched 'jeopardy', the final clue was about the interstate that ran through 3 capitol cities. in the morning i went to the DMV to renew my license plates. then it was to the credit union to add to the certificate of deposit that had just matured. and i did the full order at aldi, after getting just milk and orange juice the night before. for lunch i went to the a nd w at mall of america. i looked around a little after i had eaten, finding home plate and the home run seat inside the theme park. but it looks like the illusion museum is still not open yet. there is a sign up besides 'coming soon' saying 'hiring'. then it was on to the movie. when i went to the performance venue tonight, i was exiting the main road and heard the car hit a pothole. i said this didn't sound good at all. when i got parked i noticed a tire had blew. so i walked to the venue and asked about getting the tire changed. i went online and ended up calling four different places, and picked the first one as their price was lower than the fourth. the wait was less than expected, a little over an hour, but i still got back to the venue just in time for my slot in the lineup. i told more bank stories and a karaoke story. during my walks i found 66 cents, and got a can of busch light so now there are four beers waiting. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when leonard tells pennt the story about moving in. it was followed by the one where amy says goodbye to sheldon.
