this evening i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'you should have left'. i recognized kevin bacon in it. this was about a couple and their young daughter renting a house in wales for a short time. the family was having bad dreams, but especially the dad. the mom is an actress, filming on location, and the dad is apparently a banker. the daughter asked why people hate him, some mention of being accused but acquitted of killing a woman. this would be considered a thriller, and it got weird at times. such as flashbacks to earlier scenes of the movie where the main character can see himself in them. the closing credits say the movie was filmed in new jersey, and one song i recognized in it and their wasn't much music in it. there was 'should i stay or should i go', but not the version by the clash.
in the evening, after getting back from the hy-vee in eagan, i went on a walk and picked up 66 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when bernadette conned sheldon into doing chores, a take-off of 'tom sawyer'. it was followed by when the friends fought over a ring, a take-off of 'lord of the rings'. at work it was a fairly slow day, though there was some checks to print from the foundation and i don't see these too often. in the baseball world it was nice to read how yadier molina reached the 2,000 hit club on thursday night. he is just the 6th to get this many hits as a cardinal. four of the others are in the hall of fame- musial, brock, hornsby, and slaughter- and the fifth is still active-pujols. but of course pujols now plays for another team. a big deal that a catcher reached this milestone, as one article claims he is just the 12th. it includes joe torre, who played about half of his games as a catcher. the cardinals appear headed to the post-season, and i made my peace a long time ago with how i wasn't going to st. louis this year due to the 'fan ban' at major league baseball games. i have noticed how much money i am saving by cutting way back on traveling.
