john wick movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'john wick'. i used points to make it a free rental. i like suspense and thriller movies, it was why i chose this one. this movie does something that some others do, start off with the ending. it was not too surprising that john survives despite his injuries, as i was aware this wasn't the only movie in the franchise. it is now up to the fourth. but there is still what i call 'the thrill of the chase', finding out how we get there. at first it was hard to understand why we see keanu reeves, as john wick, getting beat up in his own home. but this was the set-up for the rest of the story. gangsters kill his dog and steal his car, then john decides to come out of retirement to kill these thugs. of course i like seeing his car was a classic ford mustang. i also liked seeing the 'mayhem guy' from the allstate commercials in it- as one of the gangsters. after the movie was done i went to the post office, there were no orders to pick up. then it was on to eagan to dump the movie, at cub foods. i had lunch at the nearby taco bell, third time i've had their five-dollar box deal since i saw the commercial with a green day song since thanksgiving. and i made it over to the walgreen, not much christmas candy left but i bought two pieces of reese's peanut butter. and i saw a greeting card in french in the card shop, so i picked this up as well. it will be fun to translate it. when i got back i picked up my new pair of glasses from pearle vision, then went home and laid down for a while. then i got groceries at aldi, and had the evening meal, the leftovers from taco bell. i stayed in for the evening as i saw the winter weather coming in when i went to aldi. i watched a charlie brown DVD, inspired by finding out i have one special, 'you're the greatest', on three different discs. i watched the one that has 'you're a good sport', about motocross, which has 'you're the greatest', about the decathlon, as the bonus episode. and i did some planning and found out one of the iowa vs. minnesota men's basketball games is on super bowl sunday. so my super bowl weekend is pretty much already booked now. one event ticket already ordered and another will be soon enough. i will listen to the game on the radio, before the super bowl begins. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 37 cents.
