fire inside movie

 i found things to do on my day off. in the afternoon i went to see the movie 'fire inside', in inver grove heights. i decided to move up seeing it after getting a closer look at the bowl game schedule. there was dense fog when i was driving to the theater, but i arrived just after the previews began. reviews said this boxing movie was 'inspiring and enraging', and i concur. it is a biopic about claressa shields, a lady boxer from flint, michigan. i really liked the part before the olympic games, and her first olympic games win. but not after it, where there was a lot of squabbling. much like other biographies i have seen, i am used to seeing the disclaimer in the closing credits saying, 'some scenes and characters were invented for dramatic effect'. i can guess three scenes in particular where this description fits. the one i liked the most was her coach/trainer. anyone who was ever been involved in sports knows the importance of a good mentor. i am a hard-nosed Midwesterner and this is one reason why i wanted to see it, as it has a setting in the midwest. but also, because i have enjoyed boxing movies before. i understand well when rappers make a boxing reference, it is not just a metaphor. sometimes in life, one has to fight. before i went to the theater, i had lunch at mall of america, at the A and W. couldn't find a magazine i wanted at the barnes and noble, and i was just about to leave the mall i decided it was best to eat there as it would save time and increase the odds that i would be on time for the movie. and i made it to the post office, two orders were picked up. and i liked watching 'jeopardy' after getting home from the movie, final clue was about winnie the pooh. in the evening i went to get groceries at the hy-vee in eagan. and when i got back i watched the second half of the holiday bowl on fox, syracuse was leading over washington state and went on to win it. this bowl still has meaning to me, as it was the first one i attended. this was over a decade ago, in san diego of course. during my walks i found 47 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when sheldon and amy get sick trying to do a 'little house' birthday. but then they are better and go into the bounce-house for howard and bernadette's party for their first kid. it was followed by the one where penny and bernadette want to meet anu, raj's lady friend.
