this afternoon i went to see a movie in inver grove heights. it was the whitney houston bio-pic, 'i wanna dance with somebody'. this was two movies in one. the first part i liked, as it reminded me of being in school. singing 'greatest love of all' in chorus class in junior high. as well as the movie 'bodyguard' and the song 'i will always love you' being a hit, during my time at college in iowa city. i saw the movie, but many years after it was at theaters. along with a roommate, from cameroon, saying he didn't like seeing her with bobby brown. but they also covered her self-destructing, with the drug problems and ending up in rehab. those scenes were hard to watch. i would have preferred them doing what bio-pics more often than not do, which is cover the pinnacle of their subject's fame, then stop. very little of what was depicted was positive after 'bodyguard', so in my opinion it was too long. there was a passing reference to whitney doing other movies, but i didn't see the other three, i think all three would be considered 'chick flicks' or kids movies.
i got some things done before and after the movie. i did some more shredding of junk mail, so a third bag was filled. then i took out the trash and went to the liquor store. i got a can of modelo so now there are 4 beers waiting. after the movie i went to mall of america and had an ice cream cookie sandwich, hopeful to get airline miles from it like before. i watched some of the NFL playoffs, but not the first game. the second, giants-vikings, was on when i got home. bills beat the dolphins, giants beat the vikings, and bengals beat the ravens. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 97 cents.
