this morning i watched a DVD movie, a recent purchase from amazon, 'beautiful girls'. it was an all-star cast, recognized uma thurman, rosie o'donnell, matt dillon, mira sorvino, mike rapaport, and natalie portman in it. it reached the top of my list because it is a class reunion movie and it was filmed in minnesota. although not much actually takes place at the reunion itself. it is about a circle of friends, once one of them gets back in town for the reunion. as for the places i recognized, i did see bryant lake bowl, in uptown minneapolis, but in only one scene. i have been to that venue many times for shows, but haven't bowled there yet. another minnesota movie reminds me of how i haven't went snowmobiling yet either. the story is compelling on many levels. there is the piano player who talks to the neighbor girl often. there is the friend who is obsessed with supermodels and named his dog after one. there is the lady who shows up at her ex's party. and the friends who go out drinking together just about every night. since the story is centered around the piano player, it makes sense that it ends when he leaves town as the story begins with his arrival.
after the movie was done i got some other things done throughout the day. i did laundry, and went to perform at an open-mic in the evening. like many others, i had a story about attending the state fair. also got reaction from the stories about visiting a museum, and a cemetery tour. during my walks i found 1 dollar 28 cents. there was a segment on the news about the grandstand at the state fairgrounds. liked seeing it although i was familiar with much of what was covered in it. in the afternoon after doing laundry i got a can of modelo so now 4 beers are waiting.
