this afternoon i watched a DVD movie, a recent purchase from family dollar, 'jobs'. it is the bio-pic of computer man steve jobs. i recognized ashton kutcher in it, along with jk simmons and james woods. it had the same feel that many other bio-pics do, where the disclaimer at the end said 'some scenes and characters were invented for dramatic effect'. it was kind of long, just over 2 hours, but it held my attention for most of its running time. it started with the intro of the i-pod and then goes back to when he is in college, or actually had already dropped out. so the story is largely told in flashback. as hemingway said, 'every true story ends in death', and it stated that jobs had died in 2011 and the movie was released two years later. i am used to bio-pics being about somebody that is no longer alive. there were some things i recognized in it, such as the '1984' super bowl commercial for apple computers. now that i have seen this movie i am caught up on seeing those that were recent purchases and feel better about going back to get a redbox rental once a week. in the morning i placed two e-bay orders, first time in over a month. in the evening i did some more word finds. i also heard from the button, after saying i was a prize winner for canadian days. during my walks i found 2 dollars 31 cents, so i have reached the next goal of chips as well as a candy bar out of the vending machine at work. i have plenty of beer for now, 5 cans, so might as well put the small change towards something else i like having.
