nomadland movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'nomadland'. i recognized frances mcdormand and david straithairn in it. i understood this movie was an award winner, and i do like road movies. we see the main character working in an amazon warehouse, along with some time at wall drug. i made note of a place called national grasslands visitor center, which is depicted in the movie, in the same town as wall drug. the closing credits mention a fur trade museum, which is in nebraska. this movie had a 'documentary' feel to it, as many scenes show nobody in them when starting off, and little or no music aside from a little from a piano. other scenes do have plenty of music in them, especially country music. one of these songs in it was 'coal miner's daughter' by loretta lynn. also some christmas songs in it, especially early on when the main character is working at amazon, such as 'what child is this'. she mentions some wedding vows, she is widowed. 'shall i compare thee' i said sounded like shakespeare, and research yielded this was the author, one of his sonnets. the main character meets various people along the way, and gives one of them a cigarette lighter, and trades a sandwich for a can of coors light. there is a scene where she speaks of her late husband, with somebody who opens up about his son's suicide. she also visits her sister, and i liked the dialogue that spoke of how different they were. i also liked seeing how she visits the town she lived in with her late husband- and the office for the company she worked for- although both of these appear to be  deserted. frances is also a producer for this movie. 

as usual, this was an active day for me, as there was errand running to do. after the movie was done i went to the post office, one e-bay order was there. i checked my amazon account after i got home and i found out that order was delivered, but no yellow card in my box to tell me. so i will have to try again next week, and go to the window even if there is no card in the box. after having lunch i printed some things at a fedex office, including a ticket to an upcoming saints baseball game. when i got home i went to the family dollar, and to a liquor store, near me and picked up some things there as well. then it was time to get on the road again, to get the second covid vaccine done. it was in the same complex as three weeks ago. i felt the needle go in this time, but i also told myself to pay more attention and be less chatty. i picked up a sticker and sat for 15 minutes, then i left to go to the selfie station. then it was off to drop off the recycle. and after having dinner i went to aldi for my weekly grocery order. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 81 cents. i listened to some of the saints baseball game on the radio, saints beat the i-cubs 2-1.
