in the afternoon i went to see the movie 'the shining' in Eagan as part of the 'flashback cinema' series. i used a loyalty reward to lower the price on a small tub of popcorn, which looked big to me. i had seen this movie before, but it was years ago and i didn't recall much besides the scene where Nicholson uses an ax and says 'here's johnny!' i know it was parodied on 'the Simpsons' and it was the movie being shown at a drive-in when a tornado shows up in the movie 'twister'. there were some things i noticed about it that not everybody would have. the young son's room early in the movie has Snoopy and Woodstock on the door. the other thing was the baseball bat that Shelley Duvall had, it was a Carl Yastrzemski signature model. pretty good hitter, reached the 3000-hit club and i have the postcard of his white house visit with president carter after reaching that plateau. in the morning i did laundry and had some coffee at a nearby caribou. before the movie i had a dairy queen blizzard, pumpkin pie. after the movie it was the evening meal at Taco John's. while there i liked hearing a song, it was 'beaches' by Beabadoobee. lyrics like 'I'm sure now' and 'giving me a peace of mind' were good. first heard it on 89.3 the current, a local nonprofit radio station.
