charlie chaplin, and ghostbusters

 this was a 'double feature' of sorts. in the evening i saw 2 charlie chaplin films at the music box theater in minneapolis. the flautist said she would be in the orchestra. it was 'behind the screen' and 'the kid'. some crowd members put on costumes, though it was largely just the hat and the mustache they chose to imitate. the first film was much shorter than the second, explaining why there was just two guitar players and not the full orchestra. i did not leave my seat during intermission, did not want to lose my seat. i tried to entertain myself on my phone but there was no sound on youtube, come to think of it that was due to me turning it off a while back. so then i tried to read an article about the baseball labor dispute but kept losing the screen. this is why i am not throwing away my laptop as i like the larger screen and keyboard the laptop has. it is cold out there so i new the quicker i left the venue after the show was done the quicker i got home. it meant having to walk to and from the light rail stop, but as usual i am a brisk walker. after getting home eventually i went on a walk and found 60 cents. 

 in the morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'ghostbusters afterlife'. i had wanted to see it as i like jason reitman- directed movies. in many ways this movie stayed true to the 1984 version, and the credits do say it is based on that one. so it meant nearly every original cast member has a cameo in it, and harold ramis appears as a hologram. jk simmons has a small role in it, and i am used to how he has a role in every movie directed by the younger reitman. then i did some errand running, first one was dumping the movie at the gas station. then the post office, just one item was there to be picked up. third stop was the copy store, to print the ticket for tonight as well as an article from the american historical association, of which i am a member. when i got home it was time for lunch, i put in a chicken sandwich in the microwave oven. after lunch i went to family dollar, where i got an REM CD, and a DVD that is a double feature. one of the movies is a willie nelson concert. then i laid down and when i woke up it was time to get to aldi for the weekly grocery order. when i got back i had some pizza and then got into my car to the park and ride place in order to take the light rail to the movie.
