this afternoon i went to see the movie 'fallen leaves', at st. anthony main in minneapolis. i had seen film festivals there before. this movie is from finland, and i chose it because i knew a karaoke bar plays an important role in the story. it was where the couple met, and i like doing karaoke. i looked up a song in it, 'get on' by the hurriganes. it was in english but the band is from finland, popular in the 1970s. i laughed a few times, and this movie captured 'the struggle of life' well. even the stray dog that was adopted by the main character was a good part of the story. i liked this movie, it has already received some award nominations and hopefully the next one is an oscar nomination. i was not alone on braving the weather to go see it, as there was a decent sized crowd there. it was likely due to being the only theater in the area that is showing it, and it appeared to be slated for just one week in theaters. before i went to the movie i went to the grocery store, aldi, and the post office. there was one order to pick up. then i went to the holiday gas station and got a hot meatball sub sandwich and some hash browns for lunch. i went home after the movie and i am fine with staying in for most of the rest of the weekend due to the cold weather. i had crossed everything off of my list by then. during my walks i found 35 cents.
