call of the wild movie

 just before midday i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'call of the wild'. i recognized harrison ford in it. i had bought a paperback copy of the book at target many years ago. i enjoyed this movie more than i thought i would. it is an argument for a dog being man's best friend, although at first i was lost when watching it. since we see a big dog running wild in a frontier town. but i guess we had to see what led to buck the dog ending up in alaska and the yukon during the gold rush. the main thing i recall from the book is the dog being saved from disaster, and this scene in the movie is way different but i didn't mind. the two movies this weekend were my first redbox rentals since june. i confirmed this when i posted about what i had seen on twitter. this labor day was in many ways a catchup day on chores and errand running. i did the dishes and took out the trash, along with taking the recycle to the capitol. and i watched 'jeopardy', it was a tournament of champions edition. final jeopardy clue was about the play 'our american cousin'. there was a programming change on fox-9 plus, it no longer shows 'big bang theory' reruns. a celebrity gossip show was in its place, so i guessed correctly that it had been moved to another rerun channel, same time, on 45-tv. the reruns were episode one when leonard tries to do a favor for penny. it was followed by the one where the ladies go to las vegas, where amy and bernadette get drunk while penny studies. the dudes try to do science work but get sidetracked and watch movies. and i entered another 'word of the day' contest. during my walks i found 62 cents.
