sing movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'sing'. this was the original, from 2016. i saw it listed at the kiosk i go to regularly a week earlier and decided to research it. since it is a 'jukebox musical', i was interested in it. i liked the singing in this movie way more than the stories about the performers and how the show interferes with their lives away from performing. i think this was due to  being so many stories to tell. hard to say which character i liked the most, but it was probably the exuberant pig gunter, who was partnered with another pig, the housewife rosita. it was hard to watch meena, the elephant with stage fright. some things were kind of predictable, such as still having the show despite all of the struggles to get it off of the ground. wouldn't be much of a movie if the show didn't take place. wikipedia said there were something like 60 songs in the movie, there was 5 in particular that i liked seeing in it. these were 'bad romance', 'shake it off', 'i'm still standing', 'under pressure', and 'hallelujah'. there was one called 'sound of violence' but it is nothing like 'sound of silence'. 

after the movie was done i got started on errand running. first stop the post office, three items to pick up including the CD i had ordered from the new ulm radio station. i dropped off recycle, got some copies printed, and picked up some more easter candy at two places. this was walgreen as well as the gas station where i dumped the movie. then i did lunch at home and got ready to go to what i call 'the state's museum' for the second of three free visits. there was the 2 temporary exhibits i was able to see this time, they weren't open yet in january. plenty of art on display, i liked seeing some of the photography as well as a portrait of carl sandburg. there was also a smaller exhibit about the internment of the japanese during world war two. i then went over to the armenian church but the line was long to get in for food there so said to myself i had better things to do than wait in line and went home empty handed. i know i saved myself some money by doing so. according to a facebook posting they might have sold out even before i got inside anyway. i watched some of the USFL action on Fox but not that close. i also made it to aldi for my weekly grocery order. i was pleased that there was still some little pizzas from home run inn, from chicago, so i got another one this week. later on i went on a walk and found 91 cents.
