late in the evening i went to see the movie 'call me bill', a documentary about actor william shatner, in woodbury. there was plenty of clips from his acting career, no surprise how 'star trek', the TV show and movies, were shown the most. i did learn something while there, how there was two pilots for the show and shatner wasn't in the first one. i liked what was said about performing, how it is hard to watch himself on film, and i can relate to this. also what was said about stand-up comedy, which shatner has done sometimes. all about the timing, how delicate it is, and how it takes the 'courage of a madman' to do it. it helped to watch a trailer for it on youtube, where i saw a clip from 'big bang theory' where he guest starred as himself. this clip did seem to tell us why the title was chosen, as it was his line on the show. a clip from 'star trek' did seem to explain a gag sometimes seen on 'theory', the weird chess board that was used by sheldon. funniest had to be when shatner was asked to speak at an event honoring george lucas, as the gag was the confusion between 'star trek' and 'Star Wars', then seeing storm troopers try to haul him away. also liked hearing a song done with brad paisley, in reference to being a celebrity. i got plenty of things done before then. in the morning there was three things on my list. i got a can of german beer at a liquor store, so now there are four beers waiting. then i walked over to the post office, three e-bay orders were picked up, all were baseball cards. then i had a blizzard treat at dairy queen, mint brownie. then i went home for short time and when i went out again it was to jersey mike's for a sandwich. used more points for a free sandwich, and it was the first time having more than just chips and a drink with it as i got some 'tastykake krimpets'. reminded me of hostess or dolly madison zingers. it was afternoon by then so it was time for the college basketball tournament on ABC, the iowa women beat colorado 89-68. after the game i got groceries at aldi, and since i had some time before the movie started i went over to the nearby target store. i got a lunchables with capri sun and chocolate chip cookies, and consumed it before i went to see the movie. during my walks i found 52 cents.
