music museum postcards

 this afternoon i went to see the ice sculptures at the st. paul winter carnival, downtown in rice park. some of them were still being worked on, i was not used to seeing that. i also went into the landmark center, the former federal building, across the street. inside was a music museum, i had probably seen part of it before but there was mention of revamping it last year. i liked seeing some free postcards in one section, i decided to claim one of each kind, four in all. there was chopin, mozart, beethoven, and schubert. this was on the second floor, and on the same floor was a wood art gallery. of course i liked seeing the baseball bats there. on the first floor a concert was happening, and i left around the time it was done as i had seen most of what the building had to offer by then. i noticed a harp as part of the concert. in the morning i put in a DVD movie, a recent purchase from family dollar, 'the fighter'. i recognized marky mark and amy adams in it. the closing credits listed more than just sugar ray leonard playing himself, also apparently the cop training micky ward, the main character, played himself. it was probably the first time seeing that movie since seeing it when it was at theaters. 

   when i got back from the winter carnival i watched some of the NFL playoffs. first game was bengals-chiefs, and the chiefs were ahead in the third quarter but lost in overtime. the second game was rams-49ers, i watched less of that one as i decided to lay down for a while. i know it was a scoreless tie for quite a bit, and the rams won a close one so now the super bowl matchup is set, two weeks from now. later in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 41 cents. i also waded into a facebook argument, about baseball. i should have known better, but me doing this is much less common than it was. because i am aware of how it is a no-win situation. people are so entrenched into their opinions that they don't want to listen to opposing viewpoints. and i know some people care too much about emotion, which ignores fact. it eventually led to me blocking who had annoyed me, i noticed it is the 18th individual that i have blocked. never thought i would use the unfriend, unfollow, and block buttons, but i am happier now that i do.
