on the line movie

 around midday i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'on the line'. i recognized mel gibson in it. this was about a radio shock jock in los angeles. a caller claims he has taken the radio host's wife and daughter hostage. usually i like thrillers, but this one not so much. liked an early scene with mel driving a vintage mustang to the studio, while the song 'can't stop' by the red hot chili peppers is playing. i got this rental at my second-choice place, a cub foods, as the machine at the first place, the gas station, wasn't working well. hard to get the arrow moved around on the screen where i wanted it to go. so sometimes once must line up alternate plans. while at cub foods i saw discounted boxes of rice krispies cereal, left over from valentines day, and i bought one. in the morning i went to an appointment at the clinic, had two swab tests done. i was advised not to perform at the open-mic tonight. then i picked up some things at a walgreen, and saw an old friend there who had transferred from another location. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 12 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were both about trying to keep secrets. penny didn't want leonard to know she didn't finish college, it led to sheldon saying he had to move. it was funny because both raj and then howard tried to take him in and got annoyed with him, then said 'tag you're it' to the next person. it was followed by the one where penny wasn't sure if she wanted to keep dating leonard, then sheldon and amy talk about it in the movie theater. since howard is still in space, stuart becomes the replacement in their circle of friends.
