hot seat movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'hot seat'. i recognized mel gibson in it, as a bomb squad cop. this movie reminded me of some others, and some might say it was a ripoff of those movies. i was thinking of 'die hard', 'speed', and 'scream'. although the main one mentioned in it was 'apocalypse now'. it is about a computer hacker who is held hostage and has to use his hacking skills to steal money. it happens on the day of his daughter's birthday. there were some plot holes in it, such as the terrorist being trapped in a server room and then no mention of how he escaped. and then how he can impersonate a cop to take the wife and daughter hostage. it was a free movie for me, using points. also nice seeing shannen doherty in it, as the police chief. after the movie was done it was time to get to the post office, two orders were picked up. then i went to the gas station and dumped the movie. it was midday by then so i went to jersey mike's and had a sandwich. i was checking my phone while there as i saw the rain falling and thanks to twitter i saw the announcement on the delayed start for the college baseball game i was interested in. this was the iowa vs. minnesota game. so i waited out the delay at home. the game started two and a half hours late. i found cheap parking on the street a few blocks away, east of the football stadium. it was in the second inning when i arrived, iowa was up 5-0. the iowa hawkeyes scored in six of the game's nine innings and won 18-4. it was chilly so i am thankful i had layers on, a rain jacket, leather jacket, and a hawkeye sweatshirt. i had a hot chocolate and a bag of chips at the game. notable was songs played while at the game. offspring's 'you're gonna go far kid', jimmy eat world's 'the middle', and 'i'm all right' by kenny loggins. seemed like a good one to start the walk back to my car with. not much to do when i got home. during my walks i found 64 cents.
