transfusion movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'transfusion'. at first it was not entirely obvious that i was an australian movie, because it starts off with scenes from a war. but then i notice the cars having the steering wheel on the right side of the car, unlike the left in america, along with seeing australian flags on the wall and on the military uniforms. then there was mention of various cities that the soldier lived in after leaving the army, a special forces unit. i chose it because it is a thriller, and it was since the former soldier does jobs in the underworld to protect his teenage son. also since he didn't do well in legit jobs such as sales rep for a beer company. plenty of action in it, and it was a compelling story. i have seen way worse movies than this one. the main thing for me was at times when i was lost on the dialogue either due to the accents or the terms being different than in american english. before midday i went to get groceries at aldi, then dumped the movie at the gas station before going to the post office. i made it there to pick up one order just before closing time, and i saw the loopy postal employee for the first time in a while. he asked what i was picking up and then it led to some jokes. then i had a sandwich at arby's and went to walgreen for a covid shot, number five. when i got back i laid down for  a while, then had the evening meal. once i was done i went to get another redbox movie. then it was on to the karaoke venue, where i did two songs. i did not see my co-worker this time. i sang 'don't dream it's over' by crowded house, and 'jump' by van halen. the bartender sang as well, and i had to wait to get a beer, a hamm's, until she was done singing. during one song there were highlights of the iowa hawks game, a win vs. illinois. and another TV had a football show with dave wannstedt, former bears head coach, pro football weekly if i am not mistaken. later on i went on a walk and found 70 cents.
