one love movie

 this afternoon i went to see the movie 'one love', the bio-pic about musician bob marley, in eagan. notable about being there was using my birthday offer, a free small popcorn. except the tub looked pretty big to be a small, but no complaints from me! i wasn't too familiar with the subject of the movie, mainly being name-checked in a red hot chili peppers song. along with the song/movie title being in a TV commercial for the jamaican tourist bureau. but after seeing the movie i said 'oh, i guess i had heard that one before' about many of his songs. i had heard of his son, ziggy, who does the intro to the movie. when i was hearing 'rastafari' in the movie, fairly often, it reminded me of a 'simpsons' episode where homer wears a jamaican hat. it compares well with the many other musician bio-pics i had seen. it helps that it ends on a high note, as it is the best way to end the story. hard to say what will be the next movie that i will see in theaters. although there was a big display in this theater for the upcoming 'ghostbusters' movie where one can tag themselves in photos. i got plenty done before seeing the movie. there was checking my box at the post office, no orders to pick up but i still tossed the flyer in my box into the recycle bin. then it was on to great clips for a haircut. nice how the wait wasn't too long, there was more staff than on previous visits. then it was on to jersey mike's for a sandwich, using points to make it free one as it was one of my birthday offers. after the movie i had a blizzard treat at the nearby dairy queen. then i went home and laid down, fell asleep for a while, waking up with just enough time to get groceries at aldi, after i got back i noticed i got everything except animal crackers, so i can make a return visit the next day. then i went to sing karaoke. i did two songs, 'unstoppable' by sia, and 'losing my religion' by REM. i got green beads during the first song. when i was drinking my beer at the bar after the first song, a dude spoke of going into the wrong bathroom. then he sounded like a nut, about who is in control of everything. i was happier when he left the bar area. during my walks i found 52 cents.
