this evening i went to see another movie at the lagoon in Minneapolis, 'let the sunshine in', a French subtitled movie. i am not used to them starting the credits as early as they did in this one. but i liked seeing an etta james photo in the background, and this was a foreshadowing for them playing etta's song, 'at last'. i know this isn't the first movie i had seen it in, as it is also in 'rain man', one of my favorites. at times i just threw up my hands when faced with what the main character was saying, as she either was hesitating to answer a question, or was just plain frustrated and there seemed to be no logical explanation for it. as expected, i understood a decent amount without relying on subtitles, about half. there was a lady that asked me what i thought of it after it had ended, she said the only French word she knew was 'oui', or 'yes'.
there was plenty that i did today. i was way behind on getting comedy souvenirs into binders, about a month, so i devoted plenty of time to it and got caught up. also did the shredding of junk mail, behind on this as well as i was out of town last weekend. and i finally read bank statements dating back to January. in the mid-afternoon i knew i was hungry, and had to figure out logistics for taking care of it. and it meant going to the nearby dollar store and picking up a microwaveable meal, along with some other items i needed. they were closed when i tried to go last night, something about electrical problems according to what was in the window. today there was a half-aisle blocked off and i noticed some water damage to the false ceiling above it. i also went to a video store, the one having a liquidation sale. i bought another video there, it was 'invincible', the one where marky mark plays the eagles football player.
then, finally, i ended up at the saints stadium, and i went as i like the food truck outing they have on memorial day weekend. the saints lost to gary 3-2. gary never trailed in it, and their first score was on a solo home run. it was warm and there were advisories about it. i took care of it by drinking from the water fountains often, while walking around as i had a standing- room ticket. i also got an ice cream sandwich there. then after the game i went to the twins truck, 'taste of target field', and had a chili cheese dog as well as some Gatorade. i wanted to see the fireworks but didn't have the time as i wanted to get to the movie. they have fireworks often, so i will have some more chances this season.
