this afternoon i went to see the movie 'space jam' in eagan. i had a free code to use from watching 'big bang theory' reruns. not many were in the theater, i was the only one when the previews began and then two others showed up. it was nice seeing them cover iconic movie characters in it, named or otherwise. i had seen the original one at the saints stadium in 2017. it was campy at times, making fun of itself with things like the mention of sports stars doing movies usually doesn't go well. besides the original, there aren't many others to compare it with, i can only think of 'roger rabbit'. i kind of expected the good guys to win, although it is still fun to see 'the thrill of the chase' and how they counter the moves of the villain. not normally the kind of movie i go see, as i don't see that many animated movies, but it still was a fun 2 hours for me. i made a note of the posters for upcoming movies inside the theater, including 'james bond', 'ghostbusters', and the bio-pic about musician aretha franklin. as i was leaving i saw a tub of popcorn partially spilled on the pavement, i ended up claiming what was still in the tub as i like eating popcorn. it is tough to see food go to waste.
for much of the morning and afternoon before departing for the movie, i was doing research online. it led to me making some more travel reservations. i also listened to the twins-cardinals baseball game on the radio, cardinals won to take the series 2-1. yadier molina is a beast, as in this game he moved past albert pujols into fourth place on the all-time list for base hits as a cardinal. of course this was aided by pujols leaving for another team. there's something to be said for longevity. i also called my college roommate after having the evening meal, and found out he will be out of town when i will be visiting des moines later this month. bummer. but i said there is still an invite to come see a vikings game. during my walks for the day i found 1 dollar 12 cents.
