easter sunday movie

 tonight i went to see a movie, 'easter sunday', in eagan. i recognized tia carrere and lou diamond phillips in it. as well as a third, the love interest of the main character's son. i had seen 'wild rose', about a filipina singer living in texas, same actress. saw it because i still see myself as a student of the craft, performing. there were some things relatable in it, besides the theme of family also when a performer has to deal with non-performers. many things in it work for me-stand up comedy, photography, and karaoke. they talk about karaoke and eventually sing, so it would have been wrong if they don't sing karaoke. even learned something. a song in it, 'islands in the stream', was written by the bee gees, but better known as a duet by another music act. all because i stayed to read the closing credits. usually i don't see movies in theaters on a weeknight, but i checked fandango and there was limited screenings so i told myself that i need to see it now. while watching it i did think of a former coworker, who is filipino. he has encouraged me to visit his native land, still haven't made it yet but might make it someday. 

at work my vacation replacement showed up in the shop twice, the second time was in the afternoon when i was starting to close out the day. i cleaned up a few things as i knew i was going to be out of the office the next day. a big oblong box arrived, dumped at the branch, found near the end of the day. so it was sent to the delivery table on another floor. the two fargo check files arrived late, so i loaded them as it was all i had time to do. a file from st. louis had some duplicate checks in it, i had to take out more than half. before the movie i got some dunkin donuts iced coffee at the nearby walgreen. after the movie i saw a flyer near the front door about an art festival next month in eagan, so i claimed one as we know i like festivals. there was two posters on display of movies that interest me. there was a preview for one tonight, it was the one with george clooney and julia roberts, 'ticket to paradise'. the other is the bio-pic about musician whitney houston. then i drove home and when i got there i went on a walk and found 1 dollar. looked inside the dollar store and now it is just bare walls, two pepsi fridges and an empty energizer battery display. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when levar burton is a guest star and sheldon decides to put 'fun with flags' back on the air. it was followed by the one where leonard and raj track down citations for sheldon and amy.
