copshop movie

 this afternoon i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'copshop'. it had been on my list for a while, and i had rented it before but found out i was stuck with a blue-ray i couldn't use. so i decided to search where i could still find it in the format i could use, and it meant going to a cub foods instead of a holiday station. there was plenty of action throughout, a high body count. it was all right as a thriller, but still a far-fetched story. for one thing, criminals being able to shoot their way into a prison. and prisoners being released because they might be able to help the good cop against dirty cops. along with a cop hi-jacking an ambulance although she appeared to be near death for a while. notable was the rival hit man who poses as a balloon delivery man, i didn't like him because he just wouldn't shut up. the setting was nevada, and part of the story was the murder of the attorney general. assassinations are rare now, so this also made it far-fetched. the movie will be memorable because i decided to get a new DVD player. the one i had kept stopping and i said 'i have had enough' and went to target to get another one. it was wrecked by a damaged redbox rental a while back, where the commands on the screen switched over to portuguese. i ended up with the same model, a Sony. as i just wanted a simple player. i saw some pigeons flying around in the store while there. and i got some discounted halloween cereal and candy, along with a pair of socks. the first disc i watched on it was a charlie brown special, 'it's magic', on the same disc as 'great pumpkin', which i did my annual viewing of the previous weekend. 

i did the typical errand running, picked up 4 orders at the post office. just after midday i went to the taco bell in eagan for my lunch. i wanted locos tacos as they were promoting them in the world series, 'steal  a base, steal a taco'. didn't get a free taco though, it would have meant signing up for their app and i am trying to keep it simple when i don't eat out much. i got some candy at the nearby walgreen, a total of five for the day so now i have 31 pieces of candy in the bag at home. it will last for a while. not a big deal how watching the movie in full was delayed until afternoon, still had plenty of time to watch it and get it back in order to pay for just one day of renting. nothing was planned for the day in terms of events either. in the early evening i went to aldi for my weekly grocery order, after having some pizza. i made it back before the world series began. it was game 6, a scoreless tie for a while. astros beat the phils 4-1 to take the series 4-2. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 90 cents. i picked up a can of surly from the nearby liquor store so now 6 beers are waiting.
