the passenger movie

I watched a DVD on loan from the library this morning, 'the passenger'. it caught my eye when looking through what was 'in stock', as I like thrillers and it stars jack Nicholson. it is about a journalist in Africa that assumes a dead man's identity. he later finds out the man is a gun runner and this is what makes it a thriller. naturally I liked seeing jack at his best, as it has been said before the voice is one thing that usually doesn't change. when he ends up in Europe, he meets a young woman that becomes his companion. I found out she had been in 'last tango in paris'. when I was looking at the credits I didn't understand why one of them said 'murderer' but I do recall a scene where somebody is executed by a firing squad, so that may be the one. it was part of the journalist work that jack's character was doing in Africa.
    looks like more things of note were happening on the job front. I was called with an offer just as I was putting in the DVD so I had to pause it. but there is more paperwork to do, and a call-in appointment for me on Friday afternoon. I had a back-to-work meeting this afternoon, where I spoke of the recent activity such as the interviews- by phone as well as in-person. I like how I have more to talk about since I am doing more than I was.
   I went to the karaoke bar in the evening, and did two songs. I did 'tush' by zz top, and 'the passenger' by iggy pop. of course I had the movie in mind when choosing it, although the song is not in the movie. for whatever reason, I looked in the binder for something by iggy pop and was reminded of this song. the bartender spoke of business being down due to the cold snap.
