breaking news, yuba county, movie

this afternoon i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'breaking news in yuba county'. there were plenty of actors i recognized in it, including mila kunis, juliette lewis, allison janney, and wanda sykes. the premise was a weird one, where a woman discovers her husband cheating, he has a heart attack, and she buries the body but then says he is missing as she wants attention from the media. the setting is in kentucky, although when i did an online search the result i got was the name of a county in california. i liked how some scenes take place in a bowling alley, and one gets a 'behind the scenes' look of the place. this would have to be considered a farce, satire, or both as i saw many things in the storyline that would be considered 'social commentary'. somehow all of the characters seem to be inter-related in one form or another, be it as family or where they work. 

  i had a long list of things to do, and it was nice to get to more than half of them. three orders were ready for pick-up at the post office, including the two photos of musicians with presidents. i had change counted at the credit union and deposited it into savings. i also asked about the yield so far on the certificate of deposit that was started in april. i found a festival button at a hardware store, and bought some 'simpsons' socks at jc penney. i saw these and said i had to get them since i like that show. i printed things at a fed-ex, including a saints baseball ticket for two weeks from now. i made it to the grocery store, then went to dump the movie. on my way back to the redbox, after parking the car, i saw resistable comic. we spoke for a few minutes, and some of it was about performing. then i went home and had dinner, the second half of a little godfather's pizza, and watched some of the baseball game on fox. boston was leading oakland when i left for the performance venue. i was on near the end of the show, and was asked to close with my best joke and went with the one about being awkward. this is a monthly showcase that was an open-mic for tonight, and it was my first time at this venue in over a year. during my walks for the day i found 1 dollar 20 cents, so i already have it started again on getting coins into a change bank after having it emptied earlier today.
