drop dead gorgeous movie

 in the afternoon i went to see the movie 'drop dead gorgeous' at the trylon cinema in minneapolis. i have been there fairly often in recent years so i finally added them as one of my likes on facebook. i did one thing i normally don't do, order a ticket a month in advance, as the demand was high for this one. at the outset there were four screenings scheduled, then two more were added and all six were listed as sold out. except the screening i attended had no one in the front row, besides me. during the previews i changed my seat as some late arrivals were talking and i didn't want that distraction during the feature presentation. i got a small cup of popcorn and a can of 7-up. i decided to attend this one after reading how this movie is a satire of beauty pageants- and filmed in minnesota. i didn't laugh at every joke but i liked a few that were dour, no surprise when i am dour. i felt myself tingling when the 'mary tyler moore' theme song was played, 'love is all around'. guess the movie released a soundtrack, this must be why there was a recent drag brunch with this movie as the theme. i didn't attend the brunch as i wanted to see the movie first. i had found some clips of this movie on youtube to stay interested during the month-long wait, but i am thankful i saw the movie in full eventually as it all made more sense in the end. my next visit to this micro-cinema is likely for some hitchcock films in april. after the movie i went to target and bought a CD by jelly roll. liked hearing some of his songs on the radio, and the clip i found on youtube of his testimony in congress about the fentanyl epidemic. one patron was swearing at everyone and it was catching the attention of security. in the morning i found a way to consolidate some of the saved articles in the binders. it freed up two more sheet protectors so i was able to get more things about work in the binders, such as last year's pay raise and the recognitions leading to being awarded points. 'the simpsons' was about mario kart. later on after doing the dishes i went on a walk and found 68 cents.
