my girl movie

 mid-morning i put in a DVD movie, a recent purchase from a resale shop, 'my girl'. i recall there being a dust-up about this movie because it deals with the subject of death. but this still didn't get me to see it for a while. death is a big part of the story in more ways than one, where the main character's dad is a widowed funeral director. even before they get to the controversial part of her friend's death. it was gut-wrenching when you see her emotional  at the funeral, after shying away for a while. but i am still aware of how sometimes people do die young. however tragic this may be, it is still reality. plenty of music from the time period being covered in the story, which is 1972. this included some by CCR, including 'bad moon rising', though this was in a bumper car scene where it was prophetic. in the morning after having cereal for breakfast i returned the rental car to the airport. in the afternoon i went to aldi for groceries. at midday i went to the holiday gas station and got a rib sandwich and hash browns, along with a redbox movie i will watch the next day. did not watch any pro football, wanted to get show cards and other souvenirs into sheet protectors and then the fringe festival binder. it was time as the festival ended over a month ago. later in the afternoon i went on a long walk in the neighborhood, hadn't done one that long in a while. later on i called my dad, first time since june. it went better than others as we talked about my trip to new ulm for oktoberfest. along with movies. late in the evening i went on another walk and found 89 cents.
