jane austen movie

 in the early afternoon i went to see a movie, 'Jane Austen wrecked my life', at St. Anthony main in Minneapolis. it was a French movie, but plenty of it was still in English. this one i liked a lot, based on how often i was laughing. this included a gesture to the main character's friend, being mocked by her sister, and a man from the writer retreat saying, 'i speak French'. there was also when he acknowledged what i was thinking, that she was whistling the French national anthem, 'Marseillaise'. i also liked what was said about writing, about 'finding your ruins' as i know this about writing as well. a scene from the bookstore she works at also reminds me of the times i have been to poetry readings. i got some popcorn at the movie. before that i had some ice cream at a dairy queen, the blizzard of the month, strawberry cheesecake. there is a summer flavor that is promoting the 'superman' movie that is starting next month, but i figure i still have some time to try that one if the movie hasn't premiered yet. wondering if the 'big bang theory' reruns i watch will be promoting it as well, with a 'word of the day', as they have promoted comic book movies before. then i had lunch at a nearby burger king. i saw a man sleeping near the entrance, and when i was eating at a booth a woman arrived and asked for food. i pointed out where it can be ordered, she said she had no money. a reminder of 'the haves and have-nots', something i notice more often in big cities. in the morning i went to the post office, one order was picked up. after the movie i noticed a walkway that is normally closed had a gate open, so i took a walk on it. i guess that it is open only during the warmer months. this was next to an Xcel Energy facility and gave a great view of the falls. at first it felt like the falls was spitting out water, but i think it was light rain. then i made tracks back to my car. when i got home i laid down for a little while, then went to get groceries at Aldi. then i went to have a sandwich at Jersey Mike's. when i got home a baseball game was on fox, but not the one i was expecting, padres-brewers. Red Sox-Yankees was on, and i barely watched it but the red sox won. during my walks i found 2 dollars 38 cents.
