ted bundy movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'ted bundy, american boogeyman'. it was billed as an exclusive to redbox. i did not recognize any of the actors in it, but not a big deal as i care more about the story being told. i do recall it was big news when bundy was executed in florida in 1989. i know this wasn't the first movie about this serial killer, as i recall one being on TV many years ago. the weirdest scenes in it had to be the ones with his mom, louise, when investigators arrived to interview her. 

this was a day for errand running. first order of business after the movie was done was to check my post office box. four items were ready for pick-up, two of them emo CDs ordered from amazon. two e-bay orders were there as well, an oktoberfest button as well as two new ulm postcards. later on in the day i placed some more orders, two comedy CDs as well as more baseball stamps. i made it to the armenian festival at a church in st. paul. i swore at myself when i tried going there after picking up copies of events or things to look up. this is because i didn't check the driving directions there, and couldn't find it but knew all along i was close. so i just went home and found the page i had printed as a place holder, which had a small map on it. and i made sure to check the mapquest directions before departing again. as expected, no problem finding it when i was better prepared. the food was good there, it was the main reason why i went again. i had the pork kebab, although it was in a tin pan and not on skewers. there was also green beans with tomato sauce as well as rice. i did look around a little after eating, noticed how one room was vacant, under renovation. 

then it was back to my neighborhood. i bought 2 DVD movies at the family dollar. the cashier was interested in how one of them was 'fried green tomatoes', on the same disc as 'coal miners daughter'. she wants to hear how 'tomatoes' is, i had to say i hadn't seen it but i had seen the other one. also how i don't make it in that often. the other disc was in a sleeve and not a hard plastic case, 'how stella got her groove back'. i had referenced this movie title before and i figured it was time to watch the movie to understand better the reference i was making. i looked at their CD section but most were christmas-themed. i have a few christmas CDs but it is not a big interest of mine. some of their discs i knew i already had, just by the first look i knew it. with others i wasn't sure and had to go home and check what i had. i haven't ruled out going back sometime soon to look through their CDs and DVDs again. there was also the weekly visit to aldi for groceries. i went early as i knew the fox baseball game of the week would be on in the early evening. it was cubs-brewers, plenty of home runs in it and i fell asleep near the end but found out the brewers won. later on i went on a walk and found 58 cents. 

it was helpful to print three items around midday, as i have already done some research on one of them. it was the one from the state historic society, their series of lectures. there are six, based on the titles i narrowed my list i was interested in to four. then i read the descriptions included with it and narrowed it further to two. these are once a month, starting in october, and each one has two sessions with one of them being available on zoom as well as in-person. the second session is in-person only. i am fine with doing the virtual version as it means not having to pay the parking fee. i know i have partaken of some of these lectures in the past  year. some of them were also through the american historical association.
